Advantages: affordable, compact, great mage quality
Disadvantages: sometimes blurry when dropped or shaken

...I first got this camera as a present, but due to my own inability to look after anything I have it didn't last too long. But back to the product. I got my (second) Fujifilm FinePix A345 from their website, refurbished for £35 which is an incredibly good deal. I am a great fan of these cameras because they are affordable as well as being stylish, easy to use and they produce great quality photographs. These cameras are perfect if you want an everyday camera to rake around with you. Compact in size, they can slot into the tiniest of handbags, and the wrist strap means you can carry it round with ease. I wouldnt say I know a lot about mega pixels are any of the camera terminology but the A345 produces clear photographs with a great colour contrast. The zoom is very good, I personally got some pretty cool close up photos of a rugby... Read review

Advantages: design, viewfinder, style, image quality, value
Disadvantages: small screen, fiddly zoom

...I bought my Fujifilm A345 digital camera, about a year ago. I bought mine refurshed, via the Fujifilm website, were, now they sell for under £40!! (Search for their site on google) I have enjoyed taking hundreds of photos with it. The photo quality, is great especially when on, "fine," mode. Unlike other digital cameras, where the picture can be, dull and flat; the Fuji, picks up , more natural, vibrant colours. Although you may think of it as, "old-tech," the A345, as well as a 1.7 inch screen, has a conventional viewfinder. This proves to be very useful; it saves on battery life, (if you switch the screen off too), and is much easier to use in bright light, or tight spots. Something to be wary of, though, is the fact that not all of the image that you take is displayed, either through the viewfinder, or the display. This can be awkward... Read review

Advantages: Affordable, Great photos
Disadvantages: Takes AA batteries, Poor sound quality

...I received my first Fujifilm Finepix A345 camera for Christmas about a year and a half ago. It was my very first digital camera and it really revolutionised the way I took photos. Up until then I'd been using an ancient 35mm camera which involved a process of winding on by hand and then waiting for the flash to charge before I took every photo. Worse than that - when I reached the end of the film I had to rewidn the whole thing by hand and using a complictaed system of holding down a button on the bottom of the camera whilst winding the spool from the top. So receiving this camera as a present was amazing. Its not a particularly advanced model and is marketed as a point-and-shoot camera, but it does the job and actually takes some pretty good photos. So before I start talking about my personal experience of using this camera I... Read review

Advantages: Picture quality good, easy to use, lots of different settings
Disadvantages: Comes with a 16mb flash card, takes AA batteries

...--= The story =-- I purchased this camera not so long ago, when I set out looking I kept it in my mind that I wanted a camera that would hold a lot of photos as well as the pictures being good quality. All the other cameras on sale were quite expensive makes like Sony, Kodak, ect. I then came across Fujifilm finepix A345… and with Fujifilm being a well known but affordable make, I had a fair idea it would be reliable. -= The product =- The camera has three different modes, picture mode, movie mode and playback mode. Picture mode, the obvious, to take pictures, movie mode, capture movies of 15 frames per second with sound and playback mode to view pictures/movies, trim and edit photos, view photos as a slideshow. The quality of pictures taken on the camera is 4.1 mega pixels, which you could say is rather low , with all the top... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, robust
Disadvantages: Poor battery life

...The Fujifilm FinePix A345 is a camera that would be suited to those who are either new to digital photography or those who want a camera that will take a decent picture for a reasonable price. The camera itself comes in the usual silver colour and has a large screen which is of a good quality for a camera of this price. Included in the package are the lead to connect the camera to a PC and a small capacity memory card and a wrist strap. The camera feels like a solid little unit and seems like it would stand up to reasonable wear and tear and possibly survive a few good drops! The camera is very easy to use and a beginner should be able to point and snap without too much trouble. The picture quality is good day or night The A345 has the capability of taking video clips and these are generally of good quality, although... Read review

Advantages: quality pictures, takes videos with full audio sound, idiot proof
Disadvantages: battery life (with standard batteries at least)

...Back in the old days (we're probably talking about mid 1960's to the early 1980's), if you wanted a small 35mm camera that was as fully featured & gave as good a quality results as one of the larger SLR jobbies, your only real serious choice was the Rollei 35 range (look it up on Google if you've never heard of them). These days, you have a much greater choice thanks to the invention of the digital camera..... and this Fuji A345 is no exception. Like the old Rollei, it's small & compact and loaded with similar features...... but it also has a few new tricks up it's sleeves. Just like the Rollei, you can zoom in & out on stuff...... but unlike the Rollei and more like a traditional SLR camera thanks to the bright LCD screen on the back you can see exactly what the lens see's (although it can be a bit awkward in bright sunlight...

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, fresh air, Stone Henge
Disadvantages: So much to see you won't have long enough to do it.

...Leave London on the M4 (which is a good idea already) and head west, and after a couple of hours you will enter a region of rolling hills, partitioned into fields, every one containing a different crop so that the landscape resembles a huge patchwork quilt. Turn off the M4 onto the A345 and head south towards Salisbury and soon you will come to one of the most AWE-inspiring sights you will ever see... There before you on the great expanse of Salisbury Plain, is the mysterious and ancient monument of Stone Henge. You cannot fail to be captivated by it, it is the biggest thing for miles around. The stones are huge, if you just stop to think for a while on how those primitive people thousands of years ago got them there, when each stone comes from hundreds of miles away and weighs several tons each, then you will be as impressed...

...local boots store which has all the cameras on display and they allow you to handle them before buying. After spending the best part of an hour looking at two different camera one being this one and the other being the Fuji A345 which has a lesser specification, I decided to buy the Fuji A350 digital camera mainly because of the specification. *Why I really bought this model over the others? I loved the small sleek look that this camera was offering it look very modern it comparison to many other on the market. Full coated in a smooth silver finish I thought it looked the part. Not to mention the fact that it had one of the best specifications available within my budget of £200. The final decider for me was the fact it was produced by Fuji and of course that's who I wanted. **Cost and availably I bought mines from the boots shop... Read review
