General Comments

This is a second review of the Fuji Finepix F420 Digital Camera, and I am eating dirt. I have criticised it in my previous review for what I believed was in effect a dead camera. I contacted Fuji, and their automatic response was not helpful. I was offered £40 against a new camera. I had tried to re-charge my batteries and it just died after 1 shot. As a last resort I purchased a new set of 1000mAh NmH rechargeables and hey presto - the camera is now back on line again and performing like new. So in fairness I have re-assessed my comments and made a fresh review. However, I have to criticise Fuji for what is lack of support in finding the fault. Had I followed their advice I would have scrapped the camera, or at best returned it to them for a refund of £40 against another Fuji. In that event would I have bought another Fuji - I don't think so. Anyway I hope this helps others who are experiencing problems with short battery life. To sum up, if you have had your NmH's for two years, then be prepared to replace them to return your camera back to working order.
