I'd like to assume that you are in the same position as I was. You crave an easy to use camera offering professional results without the professional price tag. You desire excellent image quality. You long to advance your skills without being baffled by confusing buttons, options and bewildering prompts. If this is you then you should look no further than the A500. Read on to find out my experiences and views on this camera. The new entry level digital camera from Fujifilm was a clear winner for me in my research into a good quality point and shoot stills camera. After owning the Fujifilm ... more

First off I'd like to point out that I am writing a consumer review on this camera. I know nothing about them really, I'm a point and clicker. I know how to take my memory card to a store and print photos and I know how to download them as for specs and the likes forget it really but I shall try to cover the important bits about this little gem if I can lol! I received this camera from an ex partner about 6 years ago now.

They work fine but I have to replace them quite often as I think the camera uses a lot of energy. The SD card is ... more

When given the chance to buy the Fujifilm FinePix A500 digital camera for £49.99 with the added assurance that if I wasn’t completely satisfied I could return it immediately for a refund I would have been a fool not be rip the customer service advisers hand off, which I actually did. I wasn’t in the market for a new camera and was just browsing but this opportunity just seemed too good to be missed. What is my brief conclusion after using it for some months and having the chance to use some more expensive models? It was a steal and if I had to replace it now I would happily pay in excess of ... more
