    Bad Points: No digital zoom.

    General comments: Picture quality is very good and user friendly. It is a good camera to compare to its price and give good quality home results. Also some fun with music.

    I bought my Fuji Finepix 50i digital camera on an American Base Exchange in Bosnia in 2001. I love it except for the same problem of not turning off and strange colors. It's a good system, unfortunately coupled with a fragile main chipset.

    It is a pity fuji does not give any information about the appalling problem the Fuji Finepix 50i has which concerns the optical digital sensor (a condemnator for sure) Too bad to be perfect...

    Having the same problem with my Fuji Finepix 50i as everyone else. Power refuse to shut off unless I take the battery out. But when re-insert, the thing is still jammed.

    Bought my Finepix 50i November 2002 in Currys. Delighted with overall performance until July of this year when camera started to freeze up and psychadelic colours appeared on pictures and videos. Unfortunately it was out of warranty and it cost me £182 to get a new Pwb unit put in. Dissapointed with Fuji as this seems to be a common problem with the 50i and one year warranty did not cover it. But felt that the repair was worth it as no other camera around with same spec as the 50i. Ov ...

    I have had 2 go wrong. 1st the power will not shut off needing the battery to be removed and replaced and then wierd florescent colours appear on some photos (This has happened on both camera 6months to 1 year in. Avoid like the plague.)

    I bought my Fuji Finepix 50i camera in Germany, what I liked about it was the features for such a small camera. This is my second Fuji Digital camera and I am still using it. I love the video, others have video but not audio, this one has both, great option.

    For such a small camera, the picture quality and ease of use of the Fuji Finepix 50i is hard to beat. It has never let me down and gets carried everywhere because it slips into a small pocket without being obtrusive.

    I bought this Camera in Hong Kong in a reputable chain store - as did my brother. We have BOTH had problems. Do not buy this camera. I will never buy Fuji again - I could not get a new camera or refund.

    Next 60i-camera, then? New features I dare to suggest: xD memory, since Smartmedias 128MB is not enough. Also xD may make the camera smaller. Resolution is OK, but few more pixels will not hurt. Weaker flash for macro to avoid "white explosions" in the pictures. Definitely retain mp3, video and voice. How about a radio? (I can live without it, though). Since it is possible to view pix after they have been stored to the memory, perhaps it would be possible to approve pics before they are st ...

    Light sensitivity seems to be the problem with the Fuji Finepix 50i digital camera - you get all sorts of funny colors first, than you can't turn the camera off anymore and it heats up. Then you can't turn it on anymore - and then you better get another one - because the first one I sent to Japan for repair and it never came back.

    I have been torn between buying the Minolta Dimage X and the Fuji finepix 50i digital cameras for the past week and finally decided on the 50i (although the minolta looks cooler, the 50i is supposed to deliver better quality pictures). The only problem is finding the camera for the right price (I live in Europe). In continental europe, the stores want EUR 750. In the UK only 3 stores carry the product (exclusive agreement with Fuji): Dixons, Curries and PC World. Of these 3 Curries is the cheape ...
