Advantages: zoom, ergonomics, price

Disadvantages: bulk

I used to have a wacky Fuji 40i, camera cum mp3 player - but unfortunately that was 'lost'.

So as a replacement I was happy to choose another Fuji and to be honest this 2800 is a better camera.

It's very easy to use and so far the results have never disappointed. I didnt think I'd use the zoom much, but in fact it's the camera's best feature. It's really useful for frameing a still landscape and also ace for 'paparazzi' type shots of the family playing.

Another thing I like is the ability to turn off all the automatic processing and mess around with manual settings for stuff like exposure and white balance - you don't need to know anything about photography to produce some really odd effects, especially in low lighting conditions.

The vid clip feature is fine, although it's really only useful for 'quick momemento' type grabs.

It was a bit pricey when it came out and it is a bit bulkier than a lot of other cameras but the trade offs in terms of zoom, the fact that it looks twice as expensive as it is and it's reliability and ease of use all add up to a 5 star recommendation.
