Actually, I bought the MX-2900 as an 'upgrade' from the MX-700. I assumed that going from 1.5 to 2.3 Megapixels would create a substantial increase in image quality. I bought my MX-700 as a reconditioned unit from Fuji for about $350. I sold it and used...
Pros: VERY easy to use. High image quality. Cons: Slow display
The MX-2900 offers the best of both worlds: a "camera-manual" mode for serious digital artists, and a "camera-auto" mode for point & shoot connoisseurs in the 2+ megapixel category.
Pros: Good price, feature-rich, ext. flash hot-shoe Cons: poor image quality, weak flash, dark dull shots
I've used several digicams in the past, but never learned much about their differences or how they work. However, after getting a Fuji MX2900, I've learned a lot about them, just not the way I'd like to. Here's why:
Pros: A lot of features, extras, flexibility and good picture quality for the money Cons: Slow
Fuji works very well for me – a professional fine artist (classical realism). I was trying to decide between Olympus 2000 and Fuji for a few weeks and finely came up with the list of the features I needed from the camera for my work and family.
I...
Pros: Good amount of features, good battery life Cons: Poor image quality
Having used several 2+ megapixel cameras, I was eager to see what FujiFilm would come up with in their offering. In the end I was disappointed. The camera is fairly solid and lighter than the size may first imply. It sports a 3x optical zoom and real...
I purchased the Fuji MX2900 after considering the Olympus C2020, deciding on this device because of its manual mode and feature list. As an endocrinologist I needed pictures of diabetic foot ulcers (color and depth) and individuals of abnormal stature,...
Pros: External Flash, Manual Mode, front access Cons: Delay in capturing image, battery
Bought MX-2900 ten months ago as an advanced snapshhoter's , mainly to get grandbaby pictures.
After a little over 1000 pictures here are good and bad points from my personal point of view :
Pros: Retains some of the traditional SLR styling Cons: Slower awkward settings than other FUJI's

I bought this camera for my husband and have found good and bad about it. I love the quality of pictures we get and the easy operation of it. Going from the manual uses to auto is easy and quick. We received a card reader and extra external flash system...
Pros: Handles like a 35MM and has the best color results and sharp images. Has manual mode for better images. Cons: Slow f stop at F4 which is wide open.
I bought this camera after doing a lot of research on the net and visiting local camera and PC stores. The MX-2900 is easy to handle and has many features that remind me of my 35MM. Although the MX-2900 is a tad slow in the f stop, it never bothers me...
Pros: Excellent quality pictures Cons: need more zoom!
I bought this camera just recently. Despite the newer 4900 being out, this 2.3 megapixel model does a solid job & has 3x optical zoom. It's got a solid aluminum metal housing, the buttons are solid & I don't see anything you have to worry about...
