Pros: More feature rich than most, for a 2.0 mega pixel camera.
Cons: Eats up regular AA batteries that are included. Better off with your own rechargeables.
The Bottom Line: Final recommendation? Get it.
It's inexpensive if you shop around a little. Lot's of bang for the buck. Penny-size memory card. What more could you want?!

| edraldi's Full Review: FUJIFILM FinePix 2650 Digital Camera |
My wife and I decided to get a digital camera, after I got a $100 OFF certificate, from Amazon.com from a larger purchase.
Because I'm a techno-head Art Director, not just any camera would do and the price had to be right. Plus, it had to be loaded with enough features to justify the purchase. I really wanted at least a 4.0 mega pixel but after discussing it over with my wife, we figured a 2.0 would do exactly what we wanted:
1. Instant digital gratification.
2. Excellent for e-mail shots and iPhoto.
3. The possibility of printing higher res shots.
It takes great color shots right out of the box. Extremely intuitive. The optical zoom eliminates bitmapping (jaggies) when close-up. And the auto-focus mode is idiot proof. It has 5 flash modes for lots of shooting customization. Macro (close-up 3.9" to 2.6') and self-timer photography add to the host of features. White Balance (for light sources), Exposure Compensation and Movie (no sound video) mode round off this great little camera.
Check out the fujifilm.com sight for a great interactive preview. It's what really sold me. The purchase is up to you from there. The only other option in the same category was an Olympus, but the memory card was only 8mb, as was the Sony which only had its body-style going for it.
Good luck!
