FUJIFILM FinePix 3800 Digital Camera

Pros: One heck good lens , one of the best cheaper digital CAMERAS of all time
Cons: white balance, color, not bright enough , only 3 megapixels , not a great chipset1`

updated with new model I found at store. I now recommend: I tried many a camera and this one has close to the best lens of all the cheap cameras out there of all time believe it or not. How an old camera with only 3 megapixels takes this kind of g reat ...

Pros: ergonomic, outdoor use, batteries, tough
Cons: display, lens cap, indoor use

The Fuji Finepix is a great digital camera for the everyday camera user. For the family, college student or vacationer, it is a very good affordable choice. The body is appealing to those camera users who can't let go of that 'camera' shape, who want ...

Pros: For the pro, it's fun; for the novice, it'll make you look like a pro.
Cons: The photo program on my PC is easier, but with practice I'd enjoy the Fuji.

Although I'm no camera guru either, as an Art Major I did take a couple photography classes in college, so I've done it "the hard way" with a standard 35mm camera, so I have some comparison experience. The purchase of the Fuji FinePix 3800 was the ...

Pros: Brilliant colors, easy to hold and use, 6x optical zoom
Cons: Breaks easily (mine after 1.5 years), poor autofocus in low light, large size, poor construction

I purchased the 3800 in 2003 and like everyone else, I've done quite a bit of research before purchasing this camera. I was primarily looking at Canon S45's reviews but when I picked up the Fujifilm 3800, I thought that this would be the one. The ...

Pros: I adored the camera and took awesome close up shots
Cons: It died an instant quick death with no warning!

I have always loved my Fine Pix 3800 and had no problem with it until a few days ago. I have had it over 2 years. All at once, the ring around the main lens became loose. I taped it on so it would not fall off. I could tell something had broken but ...

Pros: Easy to use, movie feature, AA batteries, light, 6x optical zoom, 3MP
Cons: Slow to turn on, batteries not rechargeable in camera, Dx memory cards, poor workmanship

This was my first digital camera. I switched from a Yashica SLR 35mm which is 35 years old. the electronics portion of the camera have been dead for decades, but I have a set of lenses for it and it still takes good pictures. I'm using it again now that ...

Pros: Light weight, Very good Zoom, Range of features & Settings, Useful WebCam
Cons: Low Light Focus Problems. EVF/LCD dark in night shot so low point and shoot accuracy.

I bought this camera last October and I've taken more than 4500 shots with it so far. it was tough to get used to it initially as this was the first time I was using a camera which was not point & shoot. I never owned/used an SLR before and most of the, ...

Pros: Good colors outdoors, strong zoom, ergonomic controls, decent bundled software.
Cons: Weak flash, slow shutter in automode indoors, troublesome autofocus.

Before delving into the review, I must make the following confession: I am a complete amateur in digital photography, and photography in general. Being also quite lazy, I never figured out this camera's manual mode (one justification being that the ...

Pros: Lightweight, easy to use, great quality
Cons: Accessories are pricey

Before I start this review, I would just like to add a little information about myself. When it comes to technology and electronics, I will be the first to admit that I am no Guru. Talking about pixels and macro's are merely terms that I cannot relate ...

Pros: 6X optical zoom; great images; low shutter delay; long battery-life; web-cam
Cons: Electronic view-finder is opaque at low light. xD memory card is the most expensive.

The 6X optical zoom is unusually good at this price range, the shutter delay is minimal, the image quality is excellent, battery-life is long and the menus are intuitive. I have been using this camera for four months now and it takes great pictures. ...

Pros: Excellent Color Easy use "Auto" mode Fast "boot" and save
Cons: Lack of an Auto Focus (AF) illuminator.

I've been using this camera for several months now. I have found that the camera has excellent color, easy use and have found very little to complain about. I would rate this camera at above average. I am new to the digital world, but found this ...

Pros: Very good photo quality, simple and intuitive interface, lens converters
Cons: Limited manual override capability, short flash range

Back in the old days I was sort of a photography snob. You know the type: color photography was for tourists, autofocus was for kids, and no one serious used film faster than ASA 50. I could develop and print in B/W or color; push my film all the way to ...

Pros: Large lens produces high quality photos. 6x optical zoom is best in class.
Cons: Shutter lag prevents good action shots. Not enough manual features, ie: ISO settings.

This is a fine camera for an individual just starting in the digital camera world or a replacement for the seasoned user. Even the discerning user will find that it's simplicity does not compromise photo quality. There is more to just point and shoot ...

Pros: Zoom lens, easy to use
Cons: Proprietary cables, small XD card capacity, size, 5V adaptor sold separately

The Fujifilm 3800 seemed to be showing up on sale in a lot of the electronics stores, and I was in the market for a new camera. A friend had an older Fujifilm digital camera that I had used, and I was pleased with it, so I did some quick research and ...

Pros: Long 6x optical zoom, accurate color, sharp photos, great value when it works
Cons: Can't get parts for warranty service

I brought my brand new Finepix 3800 to Las Vegas and took about 200 pictures with it, both indoor and out, in the daytime and at night, mostly without using the flash. The pictures came out sharp and the colors were brilliant. My pictures of the Strip at ...
