We got this a couple of years back, we still have it now, we had the A202 version of the camera this was "lost" on holiday in the canaries, so out there in the spanish islands we thought, we cant go home without holiday pictures and so we ended up spending some of our holiday money on this new camera. The Fujifilm Finepix A200, 2 MegaPixel Camera,Video,Zoom. Great features on a great camera.

The camera comes with a rather small memory card, a 16mb Fujifilm X-D picture card, quite expensive back then, but now the price of a packet of crisps. It has good quality photos with four different settings to make your space last longer. Heres a little example.

16MB Memory Card

2M-F 25 Pictures
2M-N 39 Pictures
1M 49 Pictures
0.3M 122 Pictures

So not that bad considering the size of memory, but you could always upgrade to a 128MB card i guess.
Another great quality to this camera is video recording, record as long as youve got space left, zoom, not bad at all. However there is no sound to these videos which is a downpoint.
However this drains battery life, as does using the display, so i advise taking lots of good batterys with you when using this camera. Though a tip is to not use the display when taking a picture to save battery time. It has 3 of these different displays.

Displays:

1. Turned off Display
2. Normal Display
3. Gridded display to easily focus on a certain object

Software comes with camera and is very easy to use, just Cut and Paste and there you go, Pictures from your camera to PC within minutes.

All in all, a very easy piece of equipment to use, good for a family trip or holiday even. Its rather tough and durable as well as ours has been dropped many a time, which is good because even the kids will know how to use it. Id reccomend this as a holiday camera as memory for it is now fairly cheap, especially at the airport. I hope this will make your mind up about this camera.
