General Comments

I obtained the Fuji Finepix A345 digital camera as an insurance replacement nearest match to my 2 1/2 Fuji digi camera. As a near match in insurance terms, it is a very good deal, and it is in fact a better spec.

I like the option of a 3x2 frame size, as this matches prints without fear of unplanned cropping when printing. This option does however reduce the number of frames free to take, no doubt because of the resolution it uses. The video is reasonable, but I hardly have need for it. As usual it gobbles memory. The answer was to get a new XD card which are now very reasonably priced on the net.

The zoom is far better than my previous Fuji, and coupled with higher possible resolutions (if needed), more distant shots can be obtained. It does appear that the shutter speed can be slow in max resolution and full zoom.

Battery life appears reasonable. The low warning comes on early, so much so that I end up ignoring it then it all goes blank as the battery finally drains many shots later. Moral: make sure your spares are charged up.

Overall. Good value for money. I am a fairly serious photographer, and whilst it is not as good as my old SLR, it does go a long way to matching it.
