Fujifilm Finepix 6900 Zoom

--Updated-- 18-11-01 Inserted updates on PC connectivity, File Format, and a few other odds and sods! Well I've been holding back for a while but I have finally taken the plunge and purchased a Fuji FinePix 6900 - What a great camera.... Having previously owned a digital camera for a couple of years already (a Kodak DC10 Plus) I wanted something special.... Key Features: 6M (yes 6 MILLION) Pixels - most other cameras are at 3-4 Million (well under a grand anyway)...this is achieved by using a CCD device that increases the clarity...(see comments for more info!) Fully Automatic or Manual Modes - Auto for the most ...  Read the complete review

being in the market for a new digital camera, I was bewildered with the range and capabilites of the models out there. I was going to settle for a kodak with base station but the following day my PC magazine came through the door and I noticed a group test of cameras.

We finaly took the pluge and brought a digital camera. What I find so great about this camera isn't just the quality of the pictures that it took, but all the little features that you get on all the SLR cameras.

Great for putting into a small bag without weighing you down. The zoom is very good, and it's optical too so you don't get the pixilated view of some cameras. There's a through the lens viewer, which ...  Read the complete review

The Digital camera marketplace is confusing. What drew me to the 6900 was, believe it or not the 4900. I took so long in making my mind up about what camera to buy Fujifilm actually had time to bring out a new, better, camera. Yes, the 6900 is very easy to use. It feature-list should be adequate for most folk. Even those with semi-pro leanings would find this camera adequate for their purposes. I would suggest that if you are going to buy one then also get a couple of spare batteries and the stand-alone charger. The 6900 does get through batteries at a an alarming rate. The picture quality is extremely good. Also the software ...  Read the complete review
