Quite good, well worth the price

Bought it in Slovenia for $250 + spent extra $130 for re-chargable batteries, bag and a 256 MB memory card. It makes good pictures, sharp, with nice colors. Tripod use is adviced for low light shots. It's simple to use. If you want a good low price camera, it's a good choice. For an average user it's just enough. Batteries last for a long time, no problem there. To tell you the truth, I was about to buy Canon S1 or similar for big money, but on the end of the day, for non-professionals, it's just a waste of money for a piece of plastic. It just has to work and take good pictures, I ask for no more. And Fuji S3000 does that and more, much more.
