I received this camera as a Christmas present from my hubby, after shying away from many other cameras as they were too complex! I wanted a real point and shoot design, with no fiddly menus to navigate, but also something that would take great photos in low light (pub, evenings out etc). I am absolutely delighted with this camera, we have examined the test shots we've taken and the detail is incredible. The flash does not wash out photos like many cameras, it leaves you looking natural and the background is still clear and not blacked out. We also tested a Casio Exilim (approx £50 more expensive) and found the Fuji far superior, in terms of build quality, ease of use and picture quality.
A tip for everyone using an Apple Mac, as I've read other reviews saying people are having problems downloading their pictures - go straight to iPhoto and import and don't bother with the software provided with the camera, it is easy peasy!
I have it in the gorgeous red colour which is a perfect girly colour. I love the brushed aluminium body and the fact you really can pick it up and take pictures without the painstaking fiddling through options and modes. Some might find it too feature-light but it is perfect as a first camera or a point and shoot pop it in your handbag camera. It is very lightweight and compact and easily fits in a jeans pocket! Highly recommended.

Just a tip, it's best not to write more than one review in a day as most people are unlikely to read more than one from a person in a day. More rates ultimately means more money, not that Ciao's really about making money!
