Fuji FinePix 3800 Reviews

Though it lacks the manual features of more expensive cameras, this reviewer thinks the Fuji FinePix 3800 delivers the image quality and simplicity necessary to make it a very good camera for casual use. read original review

A very complimentary review of the Fuji FinePix 3800, noting its good image quality, comfortable design, and incredibly-useful 6x optical zoom. read original review

Though it has a number of flaws -- poor low-light autofocus, frustrating movie mode, and a low-resolution LCD screen -- the Fuji FinePix 3800 still gets a thumbs-up as a competent, easy-to-use camera with a great zoom. read original review

Simple menus, good images, great zoom, and a nice design earn the Fuji FinePix 3800 PC World's endorsement as a "good all-purpose camera." Downsides include minimal manual controls and relatively few preset scene modes. read original review

An unflattering review of the Fuji FinePix 3800. Despite the impressive 6x optical zoom, the camera will disappoint all but the most casual of snapshooters. Mediocre image quality, an awkward design, slow focus and shot-to-shot times, and a low resolution electronic viewfinder earn this camera a remarkably low score. read original review
