Advantages: A great all round stylish camera Disadvantages: Not for tehcno-phobes!
...my digital camera to a Fujifilm Finepix F480 a few months ago after finally parting company with my loyal, reliable previous digital camera which I had owned for 4 years. I was reluctant to swap to a new camera as I knew that over the last few years, technology had advanced and although I wanted a camera which gave me the opportunity to take the highest quality pictures, I also wanted the camera itself to still be simple to use. ~The camera itself~ ... ...opinion. It comes in silver or black and is light to hold and compact in size so fits well in the handbag without taking up too much space - a must for us ladies!! It is an 8.2 mega pixel camera and has a sleek and stylish design. For such a compact camera I was impressed with the screen size on the reverse of the camera. The camera itself measures around 4" x 2" with the screen measuring around 2.5"x 2" which is far bigger than on my previous camera. ...

NOISE-CITY!!"
I am by no means an expert photographer, but do have a basic understanding. I have used various Fuji, Olympus and Canon compact digitals before buying this Fuji F480.
Different consumers have different needs from a camera.
And various models have specific features/limitations. The best quality pictures are produced from full-sized cameras with full sized lenses but NOT necessarily huge pixel-counts; for the F480 and it's 8 megapixels ... ...But the resulting pictures don't half suffer!
I've been looking for years for a suitable wide-angle compact. I used Fuji's E510 & E550 which were pretty good but suffered from bad purple fringeing.
Then along came Canon's IXUS 850 IS which looked the part. Reported reliability issues and norticeably blurry corners of pictures put me off that one.
Now, as well as Fuji's F480, Olympus have released the wide-angle FE-290 with near-identical looks ...

Quick review of Fujifilm FinePix F480
Bought this camera for £100 at boots to replace my six year old fuji 2 megapixel camera (2800), as I wanted something slimmer to carry around.
This camera does not produce anywhere near the quality of my old camera, apart from the video, which is not what I wanted it for. Pictures are not at all good, leaves on a tree are just a blur, nothing on it appears sharp, spent many hours trying different settings.
Although much lighter, and a very useful wideangle lense, sorry its not for me, would sooner carry my old one around. Have taken it back.

Quick review of Fujifilm FinePix F480
In comparison to other small and compact digital cameras I have experienced I consider this camera to be a fantastic product. It is very easy to use. Very easy to carry around and equally very durable. Picture quality is good for holiday snaps and night shots are particularly good. The number of auto settings cover just about every environment that you would be taking pictures in. If you are looking for superb picture quality then this would not be for you, however for a camera you can get out of your pocket and snap away plus video at the touch of a button with good quality pictures this is the product for you. ...

Advantages: Good features for the money, good build quality, good range of pre set options. Disadvantages: useless accompanying program,
I'll start by saying it is very asthetically pleasing, it feels solid when using it and you feel that you can trust the build quality. It is a little large but still manages to fit in the pocket. The camera is very easy to use and there are plenty of pre set options for any picture you want to take! You get alot for your money in respect to adjustability. There is a range of features that you can play around with if you want to take photography a ... ...some of the more expensive rivals but you get what you pay for! Picture quality is very good. However I feel that the flash makes pictures look a little flat. I try and get away without using the flash for more interesting pictures. One thing that lets this camera down is the accompanying program, it is a slow lumbering and confusing program. I installed it, used it once and uninstalled it straight away. Overall i would highly recommend this camera ...

Advantages: Light weight, easy to use, cracking picture quality Disadvantages: None found as yet
...chance I came accross the fujifilm finepix f480 in my local boots on a half price deal and thought i would give it a go.
When I got it home and opened it all up i just followed the quick start guide and once the initial 2 hour charge for the battery was done we were up and running. The camara is idiot proof to use and being 8.2meg the picture quality is excellent. It has a massive list of features such as image stabaliser. Uploading your pictures ...
