FujiFilm FinePix A330 3.2MP Digital Camera with 3x
Optical Zoom
Speed is mostly what sets the A330 apart from previous cameras. Slide the camera cover open and you'll be ready to start taking photos in about three seconds. The camera also has a quick refresh between images--less than a second. Images come out of the A330 quickly, too, since it is compatible with the much-faster transfer speeds of USB 2.0 when uploading to computers that are likewise equipped. The photos are generally good quality when taken outdoors. Compared to other point and shoot cameras at least. But you'll instantly notice the difference in photo quality if you choose to buy (for example) a 3 MP camera at twice this price. (I also own the Canon PowerShot IS and love the vivid color in the photos
there. If someone tells you 3 MP is not enough, ignore them unless you need to make prints larger than 8x10
Battery life is decent. Please do invest in rechargeables. A worthy investment. Make sure you get a smart charger, not a dumb one (enough product information and review material on Amazon to help you learn more on this if you would

FujiFilm A340 4MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical
Zoom
Featuring a 4-megapixel CCD sensor, the A340 can create images up to 2016 x 1512 pixels, which is enough information to create photo-quality prints up to 10 by 13 inches. The camera features a 3x Fujinon zoom lens. Also, the camera has a 1.7x digital zoom feature, but only when shooting in 2MP mode. To get those close-up shots full of detail, the A340's macro mode can focus the camera on subjects just 3.6 inches from the lens. It is very easy to use and prints well. at just 2mp the pictures came out very much like normal photo prints using household HP printer and photo paper. Good for making the occasional prints, no need to run to the photo developing place. Sending the pics via email is also piece of cake using the FinePix viewer software. no need to fiddle through your files to attache the pics.

Fujifilm FinePix S7000 6.3 MP Digital Camera w/ 6x
Optical Zoom
With its compact SLR-style body, manual controls, and powerful optics, the FujiFilm FinePix S7000 is a great choice for professional photographers or advanced amateurs. The S7000 combines a 6x optical zoom with a 6.3-megapixel Fujifilm Super CCD, which is capable of nearly doubling the number of effective pixels that are processed and stored. The S7000 also features movie mode with audio, dual memory slots (XD and CompactFlash), and USB 2.0 connectivity The image quality is superb, the features are great, the battery life has been very good, its durable, its not as heavy/sturdy as the Digital EOS for instance but it doesn't feel like a toy either. You can run the gamut from full manual to full auto to adjust to your situation. It also takes both Compact Flash and new XD cards which was a selling point being taht I already had 2 big CF's. The optics are great and while you don't have the lens flexability of a true SLR there are attachments that can get you closer

Fujifilm Finepix S3100 4MP Digital Camera with 6x
Optical Zoom
The FinePix S3100 utilizes 4.0 million effective pixels (2272 x 1704 pixels) to produce superb high-resolution image quality. You'll also enjoy the full benefits of Fujifilm's state-of-art digital and image processing technologies thanks to the newly developed image processor. This advances system delivers remarkably true-to-life color reproduction and tonality by precisely analyzing lighting conditions, and the color and tone of your subject. The Fuji FinePix S3100 is capable of taking pictures that look great, even enlarged to 8x10 size, when operated correctly; and therein lies the rub. The very things that add value to this camera unfortunately remove it from the list of those suitable for the beginner or those who need point and shoot convenience. The S3100 requires slightly under three seconds "warmup" with the included 16mb memory card before you can see your subject in the viewfinder. This delay appears to increase with a larger card installed and can be a hindrance in candid or spontaneous shots. The FinePix imitates an expensive SLR-type film camera where what you see in the viewfinder is actually what is coming through the lens, but displayed on an electronic screen inside.

FujiFilm FinePix S5000 3.1MP Digital Camera with 10x
Optical Zoom
The SLR-styled Fujifilm FinePix S5000 combines a powerful 10x optical zoom lens with a 3.1-megapixel Fujifilm Super CCD, which is capable of nearly doubling the number of effective pixels that are processed and stored. The S5000 also features a movie mode with audio, high sensitivity settings, continuous frame shooting, and a host of manual controls 10x OPTICAL zoom. Most digital camera advertise how much digital zoon they have. This is a totally useless feature for me. I mean think about it. If you have a digital camera, yours pictures are going on your computer where you have digital phote software to edit or zoom your photos. Complete SLR like controls. On most of the digital cameras that don't cost $800 you are stuck with basic controls and options for fine tuning your pictures. Not so on this camera. You can choose a variety of picture modes as well as film speeds, aperature, shuttere speeds and so on.

Fujifilm Finepix E510 5MP Digital Camera with 3.2x
Optical Zoom
The FinePix E510 utilizes 5.2 million effective pixels to deliver brilliantly sharp, precisely detailed images. Both cameras also benefit from Fujifilm's state-of-art digital and image processing technology in the form of a newly developed image processor. This system delivers true-to-life color reproduction and smoother tonality by precisely and accurately analyzing lighting conditions, and the color and tonality of subjects This is a great little camera. Even w/ the batteries and memory card, it's still light weight. Sure, there are smaller ones, but the grip on this one made it easy and pleasant to take pictures. Not only is this camera very easy to use, but it also offers great features. The features that I liked are: design/style, 2" led, the use of only 2 AA batteries, button to power on/off (don't like the sliding ones, too many accidents), and it has a dial for selecting picture modes (that's the fastest and easiest way).

FujiFilm FinePix A205 2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical
Zoom
Fujifilm introduces the FinePix A205 Zoom. As easy to use as your TV remote, and with the same point and shoot simplicity, this camera will tame even the most timid technophobe. Equipped with a 3x Fujinon optical zoom lens, 2 million pixel CCD, Video Out socket, increased battery life and smart Fujifilm design, the FinePix A205 Zoom delivers high quality images without the need to frown over an instruction booklet. Small buttons and long menus can be intimidating to first timers, but the FinePix A205 Zoom is easier to handle with its larger buttons and a simple layout, making camera navigation child's play. This camera is great for beginners and those of us who have a fear of anything digital. I'm technically impared and thought I'd have trouble with digital cameras. With the A205 I didn't. It is intuitive to operate. The price was right. The controls are easy to find and operate.The picture quality is good enough for my needs (snapshots of family and vacations) and its easy to operate. I can play with cropping, titles and editing. Batteries drain pretty quickly, but from what I've heard this is normal.
