BOO. You just killed your promotion by saving DIGITAL ZOOM. Digital zoom is nothing bhai saab. Want a real camera???? OLYMPUS C-730..10x OPTICAL ZOOM (Yes its the real deal)...and 3X digital..So the total zoom comes out to 30x. Show me a consumer level cam with better zoom than that and under 700CDN!

I"m not denying there are better camera's out there. But the 4x zoom plus the extra 4x digital zoom works very well. For the price, and quality of image, as well as the compact size, it's an excellent camera.

AJ: I finally settled for Fuji Finepix 2800 6x Optical Zoom (the ecstacy)…for under US$350 (including 128 mb of Flash memory)..i think it’s a good buy.

Results are pretty sharp as well…i am happy. :slight_smile:

As to the question, where am i posting pics with it…this silly 75 kb restriction on GS is stopping me from posting true rez pics yar…and its unfair…i dunno but i have seen some pics well exceeding 450 kbs on GS servers (no..they were not a link from other websites..they were hosted on GS servers) :crying: what has this world come to :stuck_out_tongue:

Actually, I just took a look, and you're partly right. It's 2x optical zoom with 6x digital zoom.

I finally settled for a MX-2900 Zoom User Review! I payed around $215 dollars including shipping & Handling. After I buy a camera bag, more smart media & reader, it will cost me around $260.

The camera first caught my eye because of it’s better shape than most of the Olumpus & sony cameras that I was interested in before. I looked into the specs and they were pretty the same, including the price range, so that got me more interested. Talked to a few “experts” (:p) and got their aproval!! As I am not a perfectionist when it comes to shopping, so I went ahead & ordered it.

Goods: It is as good as it looks in the pictures, and really easy to carry around when taking pictures. The qality of the pics are quite good for an amature like me. Came with a battery recharger, so it helps. The software is compatable with Win 2K (probably with XP too).

Issues: It comes with serial rather than USB, so it’s a little slow when geting pictures to the computer - though not painfully slow for an 8 MB media. But when I will get larger MB media, I am sure it will, so planning to buy a reader along with the media. It also said in the manual that it supports 32 MB smart media but some of the reviews I read of the actual users say they are using 64 & 128 just fine.

I posted some pics in IMG ahmadjee plays with his new digicam. Will prolly post some more in the future. :~)

I recently bought a Fuji as well......Fuji Finepix A303.
Its a very small camera, slightly larger than a credit card in dimensions, and very lightweight. That seems attractive to look at, but very tough to handle, because of its delicacy.

The cam has a 3.2mp resolution, with a 3x optical, and 3.2x digital zoom. It is one of the first cams to use the Fuji XD picture card. The best thing about this card is that it is designed to have an ultimate capacity of up to 8GB. Right now I believe the largest chip available is for 128 mb.

The cam has an LCD display, which consumes battery real fast. Rechargeable batteries, and the ability to use a 3V DC adapter provide some relief in that department.

Picture transfer is a snap. In windows XP, the accompanying software is not needed, so thats a plus.

The cam allows a movie mode as well, without the sound though. Plus, it does not have a provision for a television hookup either, which should have been a simple task, keeping in mind the LCD they have on the cam itself.

It has an autofocus lens. The results are brilliant by my personal standards....not professional by any means, but great for home and personal use.

Low light pictures have not come out well for me so far, but that is more because of my ineptness at using it. With the proper settings and controls, night pictures should have good results too.

The retail price is set at $350 I believe, but its commonly available around the world now for under $300. I got it for, lets say, around $220.

For home and personal use, its a pretty decent camera.

i like the new Kodak EasyShare LS443. Maybe ill get it...it looks real good. and the workmanship is tops for anycamera in its class!

i personally like how the viewfinder is away from the lcd...so that there aint any smear marks when ur done lookin in the viewfinder.

I had used the LS420 a lot. It was 2MP with similar docking station. Result wise it wasn't terribly exciting, though it gets a lot of points for ease of use and small size. That one is $299. This one is about $200 more cz of 3MP.

I think its over-priced.

but the ls420 was ugly.

the most overpriced cam award goes to the CANON G2. Its a 4MP cam with 3x optical. One would think they would get more than 3x for a $1,099.00!
