General Comments

Being a novice to taking digital pictures, i was amazed at this little package. The first thing that caught my attention about the Fuji Finepix 2800 Digital camera was the easy setup. After turning on the camera for the first time it asked for the date and time, no searching through pages of instructions to find out how to do this. The next thing that caught my attention was the handling of this camera, all the buttons where either at my finger tips, or could be operated with the thumb i found this to be really good as after a very short time i didn't have to keep checking if i was pressing the right button or not.
the 6x optical zoom was good, The macro for close shots was amazing,
power consumption on my first set of batteries was not good but the secound set have lasted longer so i'll put that down to the shelf life of the batteries.
the only bad points i have about this camera are:
when you press the button to take a pic, there is a delay untill the camera actually takes the pic. At first, my pics where coming out blured untill i got used to this delay.
when i erase or format the memory card the counter resets it's self to 000000. while this ok for the camera, you need to be careful and lable/tag all your pics as you could end up with a lot of pics with the same number and confussion will set in.
while taking a pic in dark places was hard and a hit or miss thing, harsh flash,
i dont use voice recording so no big deal there.
As i said at the beginning i am a complete novice to taking digital pics, But this little camera has me hooked, from the moment i picked it up and took my first picture. (i only have it a week)thumbs up a really amazing little camera.
