    I have owned my Finepix 2400 zoom for over 4 years I have had many cameras over the past 40 years and I believe I have taken more photos with the 2400 zoom tham with all the rest added together. I have now bought a Canon EOS 300D and I can tell you it is not worth the extra I paid although the photos are very good, so is the finepix's which as never needed a repair unlike the Canon which has been sent back thrice in 3 months....

    I use an old SLR with various lenses, I bought this so that the family could use the camera and not encounter huge costs in development. Does this beautifully and more. my daughter (8yrs old)uses it and gets reasonable pictures with no training. I added a 64Mb card, and keep the standard card as back up. I have had the camera for nearly two years and have taken about 1.3GB in pictures. It has been a great buy. I would like a new one with external flash and better zoom, but its not easy to beat this...

    Last year I bought the FinePix 2500, the Japanese version of 2400, this is totally the same, just with Japanese menu. I am very satisfied with it, I am just sad about the mechanical sensitivity of this nice camera. The USB port broke after 3 months, I had also USB-contact problems one month earlier. It is better to use a card reader than the USB cable, it also makes data transfer much faster. Protecting slide door fixing gave up after 3 weeks, now it is sliding even if I do not want.

    First digital camera i bought was the fugi ix 100 good camera for close shots. No good at distance. Read reviews on 2400, thought 'cannot be bad 43 reviews and rated 9.2' so bought one. Got to say well pleased with it. The main reason for buying it was for the zoom and it works great. If you want a digital camera do not bother unless it has a zoom or you will be sorry like i was. You might as well save up and pay the extra and then there is no need to buy a second camera and fuji i recommend to...

    Got my Fuji Finepix 2400 digital camera from a high st/internet retailer last week. Grade A stock (whatever that means) I think it is either returned by a customer or a shop display model.

    Pics are OK quality for a 2 MP CCD, I also use a Canon EOS30 and Ixus IX7 APS SLRs as well as a Fuji DL Super Mini compact, obviously the digital is no where near the quality of these cameras, but for playing around on the internet and messing around with your mates down the pub it's great.

    I recently bought my Fuji Finepix 2400 camera 'used' (actually, I think it was shop-soiled, but that's a different story) for a very reasonable price. I bought it specifically so that I can take periodic snaps of my soon-to-be-born twins and e-mail them to far-flung relatives without having to wait before I finish the film in my 'real' cameras. For that purpose, it's ideal. But if I'd just dropped 350 UKP on it to use as a main camera in preference to a 35mm-compact or even a low-end SLR (as many...

    The Fuji Finepix 2400z is the followup to the 1400 series. On the outside, it is nearly identical, however, this new version boasts little more than twice the megapixels, and is only marginally more pricy. This digital camera has a built in USB card reader, meaning that, if you wanted to, you could transfer data such as MP3's for use in popular players.

    The camera includes 4 "AA" Batteries, and though usually these go fairly quick, I found that they laster for at least 20-30 shots. This...

    Good review but I would have liked to know - what is the maximum size of SmartMedia card and does it have to be a specific brand (i.e. Fuji) or will any brand do?
    <br>
    <br>I find it a bit annoying that the camera retracts the lens by itself after a minute or so. When trying to get a picture of the cat, I'm sitting there waiting for the perfect shot, and I'm just about to take it and darn it, the lens retracts, and the cat hears it and whoosh! he's gone.
    <br>
    <br>I have had my camera for a couple of years and its been very useful for documenting my household things, general picture taking, parties, recording damage to my car, and even taking pictures of lecture whiteboards to save taking notes.

    I wanted a digital toe in the water, not bargain basement yet. a good starting point.
    Wanted good resolution and optical rather than digital zoom as this seems to be a bodge mode where the interpolation can be done back home with software.
    I was pleasantly surprised by the results with the Fuji 2400.
    Once you get over the fact that alkaline batteries are pathetic when used on this camera, battery life is good with 1600Mah NiMh. Filled a 64mb card with around 80 shots with a normal amount...

    The Finepix 2400 is small enough to handle easily, not so small that it is fiddly to use.

    Context sensitive menus are simple in the extreme to get the hang of. Other manufacturers could learn much from Fuji.

    Having a physical zoom is a real advantage in being able to maintain good picture quality when zooming in on the subject.

    Battery consumption is better than many digital cameras.

    Resultant images are superb for a 2.1MP camera....

    A good specification easy to handle digital camera for the non-professional. Easy to use with a decent zoom; ideal as a digital camera for general family use. We have taken around one hundred shots with the Finepix 2400 in eight months. we have enjoyed the camera so much, prior to purchasing the 2400 Finepix it would take ten years to take a hundred shots at our previous rate of use, a pity about the two minor faults....

    Written on: 19/02/2002

    When looking at product-review sites I steer clear of folks who give 10/10 or even as high as 8/10 and look at the ratings below that. These reviews usually highlight specific foibles and idiosyncrasies missed by those folks with rose-tinted glasses. It's up to me to decide if these problems will also be an annoyance to me, or I may decide that the review has been unjustly harsh and ignore it. John, in his review, at least pointed out that, aside from what he called "undeniable convenience" he felt pictures from the camera weren't on par with those from an slr of the same price. That's called 'constructive critisism' which helps folks like me decide whether or not that specific weakness is going to be a deciding factor for me or not. As it happens, it won't be because I'm just a point-n-shoot snapper looking to tinker with some fotos. Your comments, though, are not specific enough: 'blur on children' - what does that mean? Is it because the children were moving, or are you saying it couldn't focus properly? Etc. In essence, a poor review that tells us nothing of the camera's real weaknesses or qualities :-(

A spare set of batteries is a must if you are intending on using it lot while you are out and about, but a lot easier than having to carry around packs of films, especially at weddings when handbag space can be a bit sparse. But don't get me wrong I am still a fan of the 35mm.
