Strengths:

Very Light. Great quality pictures for the price.

Weaknesses:

Sometimes difficult to hold still to keep picture from being blury.

Posted Oct 21, 2004 - The camera is pretty good, but it is great for the price. It is light, and the sliding cover keeps the camera lens safe. This is great for the dust and drops it endures when I'm hiking, etc. The macro option is fantastic. The zoom is pretty good.

Strengths:

Very good picture quality.

Weaknesses:

Controls are a bit clumsy, construction feels cheap.

Posted Nov 26, 2004 - It was finally time to upgrade from my old HP Photosmart 1-megapixel camera that I purchased a few years ago. I picked up the FinePix A330 at Wal-Mart for $139, and I'm quite impressed with the results. Great picture quality from a camera in this price range. If you can get past the weird controls and delicate feel of the unit itself, this is really a great camera.

Posted Nov 29, 2004 - xd picture card is too expensive compared compact flash or security digital card.However,it is energy saving.I can take 200 more pictures without changing batteries. So there is no way to take all the advantages at the same time.It is a good camera, I like it.

Strengths:

Perfect first time camera/bang for buck ,quick recover from previous shot (without LCD on).

Weaknesses:

low meg mem card, once it was upgraded it was a real good camera, lack of sound on vidio is dissapointing but what more can you ask for $140

Posted Mar 16, 2005 - I can't be happier and think it is a great camera. I have taken more than 1000 photos and once I decided to take the LCD screen off I went threw 800 photos on only 4 batteries!

Strengths:

good quality pictures, fairly easy to use even for a camera novice

Weaknesses:

scenery setting doesn't necessarily pick up distant objects, such as mountains, that well; may take a bit of getting used to its various features

Posted Dec 29, 2004 - I'm pleased with this camera. It's inexpensive and takes good quality shots. It is taking a bit of time to get used to how all of its features work. But I can always get the hang of things with a modicum of time and effort. This camera might not be the one for people who are real computer novices, though I don't know how much better Nikon's comparable model would be. If I had the time, I'd sit down with the manual and try to memorize how to use the flash, the macro setting, etc. Haven't done that yet. All in all, I recommend this camera. Make sure you get a picture card that is at least 64 MB and also a good battery charger.

1 Star Review Malfunction could not be fixed

Strengths:

Sliding lens cover is on/off switch.

Weaknesses:

It did not take pictures well for very long and malfunctioned after a few months.

Posted Nov 2, 2005 - After a few months some photos started getting bad distortion on pictures that did not use the flash (big lines through the pictures and blur). Sent it in for warranty repairs and after five months the camera came back unfixed and still has the same problem. Now they won't do anything about it because it is out of warranty. I'm afraid to use it now - I don't know when it will work right. I took it to the airport to photograph my son coming home from the war and every picture was horrible.

Strengths:

Excellent color balance, nice feature set, good zoom, LCD can be seen in daylight pretty well

Weaknesses:

A little sluggish in between pictures, lacks manual mode on deleting photos right after you take them

Posted Mar 26, 2005 - I had an old Fuji 1.3MP camera for 5 years and I loved the picture quality. When that one gave up the ghost, I immediately went for another Fuji. So far, everybody is amazed of the picture quality. Do yourself a favor and get a 128Meg card. At the highest resolution, you can get 80+ pics. It does give you the options of 2 lesser quality photos but then why buy a 3MP if you go lower?

Strengths:

Crisp pictures. Easy to use with both Macintosh and PC computers. Menu's are easy to navigate. Strong flash.

Weaknesses:

Slight delay when taking consecutive photographs. Supplied memory is rather small. LCD is hard to see in low-light conditions, but pictures come out well with flash.

Posted Sep 13, 2004 - My sister and I both took photography classes back in high school and loved developing our own pictures. Unfortunately to purchase all the equipment and chemicals needed for a dark room would put a large strain on our bank accounts. I thought getting a digital camera would give us a similar experience of editing and printing our own images. It was then time for the camera search. We didn't want an expensive camera nor did we want something very cheap. We found the FujiFilm FinePix A330 to be af a reasonable price. After receiving our camera we tested it out in different conditions. The only complaints we have are that the LCD is hard to see in low-light conditions and that there is a delay when taking consecutive pictures. Other than that the FinePix A330 is a well made camera that takes beautiful pictures at a reasonable cost.

Strengths:

Great features in such a low low price. All the features one would require for personal use are in this camera. Handy size. Straight forward menu.

Weaknesses:

The LCD size is little small but may not be considered a weakness, as it is totally of a personal choice.

Posted Aug 26, 2004 - Great camera. Great price. I recommend to all who want to spend not much but wish to have professional quality crisp and sharp pictures. Nowadays as latest cameras are coming with remote control, I wish this camera had one.

Strengths:

The camera is very easy to use. Software provided works very intuitively.

Weaknesses:

Small memory, picture time recovery, some confusion in bright light.

Posted Oct 11, 2004 - Bought this for someone who is a first time digital camera user. It's perfect for her. Easy to use, good quality pictures, small and durable. I consider it also to be very low priced for the quality. One other reviewer had trouble with Windows 98 and the software that was provided. I had no problem with 98.

Strengths:

Very easy to use. Very good picture quality. Excellent price.

Weaknesses:

Few manual controls. Battery compartment & card slot is in the same place. The cover to each of these is a little flimsy so be careful not to break it. The xD card is tiny, *very* easy to lose.

Posted Jul 31, 2004 - I actually sell digital cameras at a big electronics chain. I bought this camera for my mother who is not tech savvy and she was able to use it right away (after I showed her which buttons to push). The picture quality turned out to be great for such a "budget" camera. In fact, I was so impressed after I printed the pictures that I bought another one for my girlfriend. I own a Canon PowerShot S400 and it easily rivals its quality. Though I think Canon's colors are more natural (probably because the lens refracts light better), I find Fuji's colors "warmer." One drawback is that the A330 takes a little longer to process an image so it's not optimal for continuous shooting, like at a sporting event. I would definitely recommend it to someone who is looking for a simple and inexpensive point-and-shoot camera but doesn't want to compromise on quality. I'm actually going to purchase this camera for the third time as a present for someone else. At around $140 it's just too good to pass up!

Strengths:

Small, easy to use, many settings (i.e., night, scene, portrait, sports, etc.)

Weaknesses:

Non flash settings require you to be very still with slower shutter speed. Movie has no sound.

Posted Jul 27, 2004 - This is my 3rd digital camera. The quality of the pictures along with the cost make this one of the best values out there. The size allows you to take a 3.2MP anywhere and fits into your pocket if necessary. Easy to use and multiple settings. I would purchase again.

Strengths:

It is light weight, fits easly in a shirt pocket. Takes great pictures.

Weaknesses:

Could come with a higher capicty memory card and rechargeable batteries. You need atleast a 128MB XD picture memory card, and will store 85 pictures at the highest resolution.

Posted Aug 11, 2004 - This has been the best camera I have ever had. It takes great pictures and is easy to use. I have taken over 600 pictures in the past four months and it has been great. I love the delete feature for if you do not like a picture. It takes great pictures in the macro mode. I took some clear pictures of things as close as three inches. It worked better the an Olympus 300 for taking pictures up close.

Strengths:

Auto Mode does a good job adjusting the focus and exposure for general point-and-shoot pictures.

Weaknesses:

In some cases, you may find that the zoom isn't enough for smaller, distant objects.

Posted Jul 12, 2004 - As soon as I got this camera, I was pleased with it's initial performance and soon got click-happy with it! For a simple point-and-shoot digi-cam, users will quickly learn the great quality photos it can take. Even amateur photographers (like myself) will appreciate the photos they capture compared to a traditional film point-and-shoot camera. Of course, there's also the option of reviewing the photos you've taken and deleting the unnecessary ones. Its zooming capabilities are okay though you may find yourself wanting some extra zoom on distant objects. One particular pet peeve was that the camera wasn't recognized on a Windows 98 machine I hooked it up to. I made sure to install the Win98 USB Drivers from their web site before connecting the camera, but it was no use. Windows 98 would detect the camera as a USB Mass Storage Device, but would never acknowledge the fact there were drivers already installed. I wasn't sure if the FinePix Viewer LE would fix the issue in Windows 98 since I didn't have time to download the software (over 16 MB!). I'm not sure if it was just that ONE computer, but it was frustrating nonetheless. As for Windows XP (which I own), it connects and reads/writes just fine. I would recommend this camera to people who don't want to spend the extra money for a Canon PowerShot A70 or A80.

Strengths:

great quality, battery life, ease of use, zoom factors,

Weaknesses:

time it takes to reset itself between pictures

Posted May 11, 2004 - I think this camera is great. It's under $200, got 3.2 Mp, can print directly to a USB printer, and its not too bulky in size. The picture quality is good and the LCD display is clear. It shows a still image of the picture just taken for about a second after its shot, so you can delete any pictures that did not work out so great. It also shoots movie/video clips, but without sound. The only negative thing I could say about it is that once you take the picture and the still image comes up, it takes maybe 5 to 7 seconds before it will be ready again for another shot.
