Overall Rating
- Value for money
6X optical zoom, display zoom and pan, adapter for 55mm filters, audio notation, movies with audio, pre-focus/exposure, software, USB connection, battery type and life.
Bad Points
Not good in low-light conditions, only ASA 100. First camera quit working in 6 months. No video-out to TV.
General Comments
The Fuji Finepix 3800 is a good digital camera for the money, if you can cope with having to use the flash a lot. Being able to use my polarizing and UV filters from my 35mm is a real plus. The movies have been great fun with the kids, but have to shoot in plenty of light. The FinePix Viewer software is excellent. Returned camera when it quit after 5-6 months. Fuji sent me a replacement, but it took 5 weeks. It has some drawbacks, but the 6x zoom for shooting wildlife is a real plus. Fairly well satisfied for the money spent. Are there better cameras? Yeah, now, but not so much when I bought this.
On average, people found this review very helpful

Both reviews regarding the Fuji Finepix 3800 are right on the money. I have had similar experiences. My camera stopped working within the first month and I was able to return to store and get a immediate replacement. Now after 3 years of use the flash no longer works and I'm being told by a camera repair place that I need a new internal flash card at a whooping $180 bucks! Overall I loved this camera when I first got it -- beautiful photos but now I'm left with the dilemma of giving it up and getting a better version that will hopefully last longer than 3 years!
