Light and takes good pictures. Don''t use the preview screen and the nickel 2 AA batteries will last a half a basketball game.

Read eye is horrible, but black and white news paper it is fine. The darn lense cover is a mistake. After a half year of use, the contacts quit. Sent to the company and they fixed. When you are in the school business, anything can happen and most of them bad. I dropped the camera after I got it back and the door didn''t work. So I simply taped the lense door open. The lense door serves no practical purpose since the camera shuts down anyway. Always use a long leash that you can put around your neck and solve the dropping problem. I love this camera and wouldn''t trade it.

I love this camera. I take tons of pictures of kids at school for the newspaper, and believe me I have had tons of them in there. In fact, I went fishing and caught about 20 crappie, had wife take a picture at 1.3 and sent it in with a cutline. The picture turned up on front page looking beautiful. I had tons of friends who hated my guts for that picture. No, I did not give them any fillets. Get this, the camera does a good job of taking fast action pictures. Press the button down and hold before the picture comes up that you want to take. Then just as the action comes by, press the button. Hey, it is a digital. Take lots of pictures. Throw the ones away that didn''t work and keep the ones that did. Bought a 5000 Kodak, specifically for fast action since one of the pictures they had on their site was an action picture. The Fuji is more reliable. By now, you can get this camer for 171 on overstock com. Go for it.
