Summary
I concur with the previous review, I have just brought this Fujifilm J50home and am sorely disappointed. It's been at least 6 years since I last purchased a digital camera and was shocked at how pooly this camera performs in comparison with my old camera. I was looking for something small and lower on the price scale, but i wasn't willing to compromise quality... and one would think the quality i'm used to, using a 6 year old camera, wouldn't leave the bar that high, but this measly piece of junk failed to even compare with a chunky, heavy, slow 4 megapixel Minolta Dimage s414!!! It is an embarrasement.
I haven't taken a good picture with it yet, the macro function is a joke, as any other setting will take better close-up pictures. I also think the array of settings available just mimick one another, and provide no real difference between one another. The pictures are grainy and off-colour, and the focus mechanism may as well be set on perma-blurry.
Word to the wise: Spend your money on anything but this camera, better using a relic than see what 6 years of technological advancement hasn't done!
Strengths
iI hasn't fallen apart yet (in the few hours i've been testing it), and comes with two batteries, which charge quickly and don't drain too fast. It wasn't hugely expensive either.
Weaknesses
all listed in review. and many more not mentioned.
Customer Service
very good, the lad at future shop was very helpful and kind, and I'm sorry he sent me home with a piece of garbage.
