    Second Digital Camera

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 1, 2004 | 27 out of 29 found this Fujifilm FinePix S3100 review helpful

    Pros: Features and Price

    Cons: Batteries

    This is my second digital camera. I'm a general use camera kind of person, shooting mostly home events and vacations and I'm not entering contests or doing a lot of custom work. Overall, I like this camera. The features are good, and the z...oom is an excellent feature - good for H.S. football games, and swim meets! It doesn't do to badly for Prom pictures of the kids either. It fits nicely in my hands, and I have large hands. I'm not sure I'll like the XD Memory card, it means my old one won't fit this camera, so I'll have to spend more money. The included 16mb card will fill quickly. The only real down side is the batteries. They are not rechargeable. I bought a set of rechargeable Ni-Mh AA batteries with charger. I don't like that I can't just plug the camera into my computer and have the batteries recharge through my USB cable. But the manual says I'll get over 400 photos per battery charge/use, so maybe it won't be too bad. I'll update this after a couple more months... Read more Less

    great camera for the price

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 5, 2004 | 9 out of 10 found this Fujifilm FinePix S3100 review helpful

    Pros: price,picture

    Cons: no sound in movie mode

    Great price for a 4 megapixel camera and 6x zoom not sure how they made it so cheap ,with the money you save get a recharger and you'll have many happy hours of fun. The only con i can see is no sound in the movie mode but i didn't want a vid...eo camera. Easy software to use,comes with image mixer vcd to create you own c.ds, my 9 year old daughter has no problems, can plug into t.v. and see your photos (very handy for grandmas house)even use as a web cam ...great beginners camera Read more Less

    Beware of Fuji Service

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 2, 2004 | 5 out of 9 found this Fujifilm FinePix S3100 review helpful

    Pros: None

    Cons: Worst Service

    My camera failed outside the guarantee period. I called their service department and they said that their estimated repair charge was £99.00. Beware!

    Dead camera

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 24, 2007 | 1 out of 1 found this Fujifilm FinePix S3100 review helpful

    Pros: Manual Features

    Cons: No longer functioning at all

    I bought this camera a year and a half ago and the camera no longer works. It will not power on at all, similar to another users comments on this site. I paid over $300 for this camera and I'n not at all impressed that it hasn't made it eve...n two years. The warranty only covers the first year, and it won't be worth the cost of fixing it. I won't be buying Fuji again. Read more Less

    Suprising Quality

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 20, 2009

    Pros: Ease of use, Battery Life (4+hours), Durability, Size

    Cons: Advanced settings require reading the manual, Requires 4 batteries

    This is a very balanced camera. It's 4MP is kinda low, but I can get excellent zoom shots (6x optical) with no loss of quality, and it handles motion well (Sport Mode). It has enough heft and size to feel comfortable, without being heavy (6-8 hou...rs shooting, and my finger was the only thing sore). Great macro (capture aphids and see ant's eyes), and the zoom is awesome for macro-like shots at a distance.For sample photos, see my Flikr... it's almost the only thing I use.http:/

    pass on this one

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 28, 2009

    Pros: works like a charm, easy to use.

    Cons: the camrea just doesn't last.

    Me and my wife bought this camrea with some of our wedding money to snap those moments that we all should keep. Like others on this site it only took about 8 to 12 months to turn off and never come back on. Fixing would be more then it's worth an...d now it just sets up in a closet. Good camrea but crappy parts. DON'T BUY FUJIFILM Read more Less
