There are some Fujifilm digital camera problems, but nothing very serious. The Finepix Z5fd has a few problems with the design. Users report that because the camera is so flat that it is hard to locate and feel the buttons. It is also reported that one of the problems with this camera is that it does not refocus or zoom in movie mode. Another problem is the lens is so close to the edge the camera that many users have a problem finding a place to put their fingers. All in all the camera is a good buy, but the problems with focusing and the lens could deter some users.
Some other Fujifilm digital camera problems were reported with earlier models, but have since been corrected by Fuji. The noise level is not flattering with the earlier Fuji cameras but has since been corrected. With the addition of a higher resolution viewing screen, Fuji has managed to improve the battery life of the camera. Another problem was the menu screen, which has since been corrected and is easier to understand and use. You can see that Fuji has taken all steps to correct any problems that were noted with prior cameras and have made the newer cameras more user friendly. They have also improved picture quality.
The Fujifilm Digital camera problems are very rare, but most of the time it is user error. If the improvement of the flash picture quality has been improved greatly. Except for the Z5fd, Fuji has continued to create cameras that are easy to use, lightweight and compact. Many people agree that the F series Fuji cameras have improved. However, there are still some problems with picture clarity, if the user does not know how to make adjustments. This again is partly the manufacturer’s problem and user error.
Packed within a tough grey shell, the A303 is lightweight and can fit easily into your pant pockets. The camera’s controls are simple to figure out and include a Menu/OK button, Back button, viewfinder, viewfinder lamp, a display buttion and LCD monitor to preview pictures without looking through the viewfinder or to review pictures already taken. A round dial in the back of the camera features a self timer mode where you can set the camera and ten seconds later have the picture go off. Great for when you want to get the entire family’s picture and no one is around to take it. There are also close up modes, still image, playback and movie modes. The movie mode results in a fairly choppy and short film, but it is a neat feature to have nevertheless.
The standard camera comes equipped with a 16mb picture card. Most people will find that inadequate, so I paid a little bit extra and bought the 64mb upgrade. I also purchased rechargeable AA batteries — it takes two — and a recharger. You will sap your batteries quickly if you take 30-40 or more pictures at a time, so the recharger makes sense. I purchased the accompanying Fujifilm carrying case to house my other supplies.
