The first reviewer is very crtical of the picture quality for this product, however at ~£100 you get what you pay for. The amount of mpixels is not the only important factor- the size of the lens is a consideration, and this can clearly be seen from picture as not very large.
We wanted a camara for our 10 year old for ‘snaps’. This fits the bill very well. The camera is turned on and off by sliding the cover on the front which is easy to do. (A down side when reviewing photo’s as the lens is then exposed). There are multiple scene modes including manual, and a good table in the instruction leaflet which gives an overview of what is available in each setting. There is also a video function- quite simple in operation, not high quality output, but good enough to transfer to an MP3 player with video faclities to show short clips to friends.
For an experienced digital camera owner the menus and buttons are pretty well laid out and easy to use. May be not if you have large fingers or stiffness in the fingers but that will apply to many digital cameras.
The camera took grainy photo’s in low light levels which were much improved by turning on the flash. It does not handle well images with high contrast-the high light areas are completley over exposed and burned out. In review mode the setting ISO, aparture and speed are displayed, and too slow a shutter speed explains some less than sharp pictures with time and experimentation it will most likely be possible to work out which scene modes work best.
The product takes SD and HDDC cards. The battery is very small and charged in ~2 hours from new. We took around 100 pictues and 3 mins of video, and the unit does not need re charing yet.
How does the product compare to some old cameras? Well image quality is not as good as the ~ 5 year old camera’s Fujifinepix S7000, nor the 6mpix Nikon D70, nor the Canon IXUS 700, but then this camera is a fraction fo the price that these other models were new. If you want high quality images then this is not the camera, however as a starter camera for a child it should be considered.

The Fiancée and I loved the look of this product so much that we bought it from Amazon at a good price. However we tried it out the picture quality was very poor and far below a 10.1mp standard should be. Images look bleached and grainy with no good depth and definition with the colours and dynamics of the image.
We further tested them by downloading them on our main computer and were still disappointed. I have to give respect to Amazon whom refunded the product and offered great customer service so thanks to the website for being spot on and valuing their customers.
I will stick to Sony or Cannon in the future.

I had looked at lots of cameras & reviews prior to buying this Fijifilm finepix. It is by far the easiest & clearest one to use. So simple, clear pictures & has the advantage of a rechargable battery. I would recommend this one to some-one who just wants to point the camera & take good quality pictures.It also comes in different colours so not just your boring silver or black.Fujifilm FinePix Z30fd Digital Camera – Pink (10MP, 3x Optical Zoom) 2.7 inch LCD

This dinky little camera is so easy to use. It automatically adjusts to the surroundings. No need to fiddle about with buttons – just point and shoot. Takes great pictures and the colour is fab.

Bought this camera for my 13 year old daughter who kept using my digital camera. Her favourite colour is orange and this has the most gorgeous shiny orange finish, so top marks looks wise – vitally important to a teenager! And the camera itself is practicle, very easy to use, comes with a charging unit. Bought her an SD card to go with it. She really loves it and in fact it takes better pictures than mine! Highly recommended.
