I bought the camera in mid-July 2002, after many comparisons with other types also from different manufacturers and am very satisfied. There is only one really disturbing point that must be addressed. The message of the remaining battery time is definitely too short. But if need be I always four simple backup batteries here and am so prepared in an emergency. After recalling of Fuji I decided for Varta Photo Accu-in connection with matching Ladegrät and therefore reach not only long-term maturities, but also a cost-effective power. As a storage medium I use the IBM Microdrive 1GB, allowing for fast storage of the images as well as the considerable Videos. To print locally I also still use the HP Photosmart 100, so that I can provide my clients a quick photo. Private I have the camera used during my Sweden vacation and loved it. A friend has used the Canon PowerShot G2 and scored significantly worse results straight shots in fog. Indoors or outdoors are always impressive and I'm convinced that I've taken with this camera for the coming years. Kudos to Fuji. The entire delivery package just as impressive as the additionally acquired (13, - I paid) Camera Case of Fuji. Irritated at the first moment, I've found that the way the "stowage" the camera makes sense. In the bag you bring the camera on the side and if you want to access the storage device, you need not take out of my pocket camera. The possible additives should also satisfy a professional so that the now published tests keep in chip and other magazines with the law Topwertung in the luxury class.
