General Comments
I bought my Fuji Finepix F420 for a trip to the Nurburgring Race Circuit. On this trip I found out that it is very difficult to take a picture of a speeding race-car without blurring, but I'm sure most digital cameras would struggle with this.



The video mode however, was excellent for capturing moving cars, and the microphone captures all of the sound.



Taking pictures of static things is much better and the image quality is excellent.



The quality of night-time pictures is good too, but it is often easy to forget to switch on the redeye reduction and the flash takes an age to recharge.



The menu system is very easy to use, but I find myself leaving most of the image settings on auto.



My major gripe with this camera is the battery life. It doesn't last long, especially with the LCD turned on. I have now bought a spare rechargeable, but it is nice that you can use AAA's instead.
