General Comments
I have had my Fuji Finepix F401 for some 6 years and though I haven't used it a great deal, I have taken some fantastic photographs with this camera. It is very easy to use and the performance is excellent. Battery life is about average for this type of camera, but it doesn't take long to charge up again. It will take small videos too, but without sound. It is a nice looking camera with a good feel and does feel more robust than some cheaper alternatives.
Unfortunately there some seem to be a reliability issue with the CCD. Mine has lasted 6 years (though has had minimal use),but many others have written about much earlier failure. This alone would render the item as not recommended.
