I was wondering if that happened to anyone else. I thought maybe I hit it with something while it was in my purse because my pixels on the screen are going away ever so slowly.

POS (Ann — 02/10/2011)
I got this camera just a month ago, never liked the image quality. I have really had to mess with the settings in order to get a decent picture. And NOW the pixels are going out on the screen.. AWESOME!

Poor quality grainy indoor pictures. (Jerry — 12/26/2010)
This camera takes good outdoor photos where the light is good but the indoor photos using the flash can only be described a HORRIBLE because they are grainy. I will not buy another fuji Filme camera.

I can't choose between this camera and the Panasonic FH20, how do they compare?
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (11/30/2010)
Two places I usually go to compare images is imaging-resource.com and flickr. IR has one, but not the other. However, if you search Flickr.com for both model numbers, you should find the same image taken with both cameras:
flickr.com/photos/cameralab... Now, assuming they were taken with the same ISO, Shutter speed, time of day, etc. And it looks like it has, the FH20 has slighly more accurate color and contrast then the JZ300. But your mileage may vary.

batteries for Fujifilm JZ300 (Aftab Hossain — 11/17/2010)
Please inform if other brand batteries can also be used in Fujifilm JZ300 camera?
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (11/17/2010)
The brand isn't the issue, it's the type. Always go with the battery types recommended by the manufacturer.
reply to this comment
Thanx (Aftab Hossain — 11/18/2010)
I heard that that some camera firmware rejects to accept batteries other than recommended brand. If the battery with recommended rating but of any other make is used, if JZ300 will accept or not?

display brightness (Lee Wagenhals — 11/13/2010)
I use my cameras to take pictures outside in bright sunlight. Sometimes I use them skiing with bright light and snow. Most LCD displays are not bright enough to use under the sun and snow conditions. Do you think th JZ300 display is bright enough for this kind of shooting?
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (11/16/2010)
Many camera makers brag about anti glare coating on the screen, but frankly, it's of limited value. You're best bet is a camera that still has a viewfinder.

Here's what C'Net says ...
The good: Nicely designed pocketable wide-angle compact with a 10x zoom; very good features for price.
The bad: Mixed photo quality; questionable extra features.
The bottom line: Fujifilm offers a very good value with the compact megazoom FinePix JZ300, but you'll have to be a little forgiving of its photos.

I would be interested in a comparison with a Panasonic fh20 re picture quality - have had conflicting advice today!
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (07/07/2010)
Probably your best bet would be to head over to imaging-resource.com and click on compare sample images. You can select two cameras and compare images side by side. THe JZ isn't there, but there's several Fuji models to compare the FH20 to.

Fuji vs. Canon (Laurie Brady — 05/09/2010)
Looking at Fuji JZ300 vs canon s120. Pro's Con's? I own a Canon SLR but looking for a good point and shoot that is more portable.
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (05/13/2010)
Do you mean the SX120? I'd have to go with that one. Then again, like you, I'm a Canon man.

Never a canon again (CanonBalled — 12/24/2010)
I have a Canon Powershot SD850 IS on my desk right now.
Ever since the lens froze in the OUT position it has been a paper weight. Canon service knew this was a common issue for it's customers but pretended to be surprised.

Is the night picture (using flash) in Jz300 digicam not good ?
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (05/02/2010)
It's important to understand that flash's in point and shoots are primarily designed around small groups and portrait shots. As such, it dissipates after about 10 feet.

finepix jz300 (rajesh bhatt — 04/13/2010)
It's a beauty!!!!!!!!!!.I got mine last week.First I have decided to go for Panasonic Lumix ZS3 which is the best compact but looking on the pathetic network of Panasonic I restricted myself.Now I am very happy for my decision.I have compared it's Image quality with ZS3 (Which my friend owns) but could not found any inferiority.Also the quality of HD video is very nice.Even you can zoom with it while making video which is not in case of much expensive canon sx200.I would like to recommend it everyone.FUJI will kill sony and canon with it.

jz3000 (rajesh — 04/19/2010)
Dear Mr.Sharma,
There is no comparison between Fuji jz300 and canon A3100IS except price as both are in almost same prized.
Canon A3100IS posses only 4X optical zoom which you can find in any 6000/- camera.If you compare the feature then it is nowhere near the JZ300.The feature list of jz300 you can find net so I am not repeating.It has 10x optical zoom which is very effective too.If you combine it with digital zoom then you can go up to 40x zoom with 12mp resolution and up to 60x with 6mp resolution.So don't get confused as there is no comparison between both camera you have mentioned.Just go with JZ 300.I will send you some sample image which I have taken with jz300.

Sale of goods act! (John White — 07/04/2011)
If you have a problem with Currys tell them there is such a thing as the sale of goods act, you must open the box to conform to the sale of goods act! You could also try your local Trading Standards Officer, he will assist you if you need it.

Very Disappointing
(Tim Abbott — 12/28/2010)
I have a J10 which is excellent. I bought the JZ300 for the wide angle lense and the10 x zoom assuming the quality of the rest of it would be at least as good as the J10. That was not to be. The build seems to be very fragile, the battery cover is a very wobbly affair and the port for the USB is no better. Outdoor shots were reasonable but nothing special. Indoor shots using auto were dark and grainy, and the flash seemed to be very reluctant to work unless forced. The software was a nightmare to download. I took it back the next day

Shockingly bad.
(Dave — 06/17/2010)
I was really excited to upgrade my old Kodak 4mp camera for this Fuji JZ300, but after using it, I wish I didnt bother. I was not impressed with its picture quality, even at its maximum quality (11mp). It takes terribly grainy indoor photos, has a very short flash range, and the outdoor pictures were just not sharp. The video quality even in HD was not focused on the moving subject. I expect more for a digital camera, especially as it was not one of the cheap ones. Am going back to my Kodak camera.

Superb camera
(M. Shaam — 05/07/2010)
JZ300 from Fuji is yet another winner. It is a great looking camera, with excellent picture quality and superb HD movie recording. The 10x optical zoom is complemented with an extra digital zoom and the JZ300 is feature packed, full of fun and produces excellent pictures. I really like this camera. Excellent.

exxxxxxxxxxxcccccccccccceeeeeeeeellllleeeeeeeeentttttt camera.I am lovin it.It gives you all the functions and picture quality of any some 300$ camera so why to give extra pennies.Nice image quality,very good HD video and above all @200$.You can zoom while recording which not possible even in some 400$ cameras.
