Easy? It doesn't get any easier!
In Sept 99 I was looking for a dead simple digital camera that I could easily stash away on travels, check what photos I have taken, (deleting duds as I go) and then download with ease. I didn't want any fancy features, (or even a zoom!) and basically wanted something that I could use to record pictures that I could email friends and family.
I bought a DX10 and never looked back. It was just what I needed. I bought the Camera from Jessops in Glasgow (they knew what they were on about) and could outline all the features, what I was missing and what it would cost to get a camera with those features in it.
While it can drain the batteries a bit, (particularly when you want to use the screen to see if you took a good picture or not), it cannot be any simpler than this! Still 4 AA batteries makes it nice and compact! Its a fair trade off
After 6 months I upgraded the memory card (got a great bargain from Letsbuyit.com) to an 8mb card for about 20 GBP and now don't worry about file space and just shoot off heaps of photos and then check them when I get home.
I also bought the floppy disk adapter that I highly recommend doing. No messy cables or slow download times, I just take the memory card out of the camera, put it in this special disk and then read the files straight off my A:\ drive like any other floppy. The software takes about 5 mins to install and then you are set - you can see your photos instantaneously.
I now also use the large format and high quality option (not that normal is bad at all) when taking shots and the pictures are crystal clear.
Two words or warning though:
(1) There is an option for up close shots or mountain (a sly little switch on the side). I never use the up close and have wrecked a lot of really good photos by accidentally flicking it on (annoying!!!)
(2) Install the software and "format" your memory card BEFORE you take photos or you will need to use the cable to download any files you have, (slow!). If you sort your card out with the disk reader software first it's all just too easy from there on in
I highly recommend the camera for a simple point and shoot, cheap, no fuss way to take digital pics. My whole kit, (camera, upgraded memory, bag and special floppy ) cost around 300 GBP which is quite cheap for a very simple, but not trashy, digital set-up. An excellent starter camera if you are getting into digital for the first time.
If you want to print the photos - don't waste your time with expensive paper - use photobox.co.uk - another story in itself, but a brilliant way to print digital pictures
Advantages: compact, cheap to run Disadvantages: Only 2 X Zoom
I have had my FujiFilm DX-10 camera for just over two years now and cannot fault it. Okay so it is not at the top of the range and is probably outdated by todays newer technology but I love it.
I have recently had a slight mishap with it, the pin which holds the wrist strap in place broke and the camera dropped like a stone to the ground. Oh dear, one dead camera. A quick visit to the Fujifilm website located a service center for me and the camera ... ...was the cost of repair and a clean plus return carriage to me. The whole process took just 1 week and the camera is as good as new again and cost a fraction of what I would have expected to pay for a new one. This just goes to show how much I think of this camera, it was good enough to warrant a repair over buying a new one. Provided I don't drop it again it should last me many more years.
It takes great pictures at up to 1024 X 768 resolution, ...

Advantages: Cheap, easy to use with good results Disadvantages: Gets through batteries very fast
I've had this camera for over a year and use it continually to create images to upload to web-sites. I don't know a lot about photography and for a novice it's perfect. I have no grumbles so far. For a cheap digital camera it the pictures it produces are surprisingly good and the camera is really easy to operate. I've even used it to take wedding photos that were printed and framed before being handed to the happy couple at the wedding reception ... ...the back of the camera allows you to see exactly what you will be photographing and you can view your picture immediately. If you don't like the picture, deleting it is easy. The camera has settings for close-up work and there is a 1.6x magnification available if required. The resolution for close-up work is quite impressive for a camera in this class.
Pictures are stored on a memory card which slots into the camera. I believe the camera comes with ...

...- the cheapest being the Fujifilm DX - 10 @ £195. I was sold. So did the usual paperwork got the cheque in my grubby hands and trotted down to Jessops. I was further delighted to find that when l got there - there was a special reduction on it down to £179 - so l got rechargable batteries and a charger too - excellent.
In the box - the camera, smart card, instructions and PC Software. The camera itself is dinky - not like some digital cameras - ... ...down.

A friend of mine bought this camera for his art project and I tried it hence the review.
The Fuji DX-10 is a budget camera costing a mere £199 compared to other cameras costing a whooping £800. The camera is easy to hold and slightly larger than a packet of cigarettes. Its shape does not encourage you to get your fingers in the way of either the lens or the flash.
How does it work?
*****************
The DX-10 uses a wheel with icons to select ... ...panel that displays the setup menu. It also has a digital viewfinder and an optical viewfinder for taking sharper pictures.
The quality of the images are good especially colours and landscapes. Pictures are stored on a 2Mb Smart Card that can handle seven pictures in the cameras highest quality setting of 1,024 x 768. It is very easy to transfer data from the camera to the PC thanks to Fuji’s software and a serial link.
Is it worth buying?
