Great out of the box
( - 5/15/06)Does a great job right out of the box with default settings. So easy my wife can use it. As with all digitals there is a learning curve to understanding the icons and pop-up menus for all the extras, but that is expected. Can't believe some of the negative reviews!
I've been using the packaged xD card for familiarization, so I've been sticking with 5MP. I'll probably use that for 95% of my shots anyway. I'm not a pro, but I love photography having learned 50 years ago with an old Kodak box and progressing to an Agfa Sillette, Minolta SR1, a Rolleiflex and Nikons F & FM.
I borrowed a Canon Digital Rebel 6 months ago and I like the Fuji better.
So far, the biggest negative I can come up with is the difficulty of manual focusing. But it's only been one day. I'm sure that after 6 months or so I'll be able to find some other negatives...
