A superb, no fuss, beginners camera!.......2007-08-25
We've been threatening to get our first digital camera for years and having seen the benefits of 5MP resolution upwards, we were contemplating spending around £100 for one, 6MP being all we need at present.
This technology is still advancing regarding features/resolution per retail price, but when we saw this camera locally at a cheap £49 we decided to jump in and buy one, together with a small memory card (128Mb), which is enough for our starter needs (78 frames approx).
So far, we're delighted with this little camera. It's almost too small for larger male hands, but my wife loves it, as it can be put in a handbag without taking up much space. The picture quality seems excellent for non demanding snapshots too and the auto function copes well with most lighting conditions, only the trickiest shots needing manual adjustment.
The first batch of photos were easily transferred to my PC, using the Windows camera wizard and were automatically saved as "JPEGS" - I need to know whether I specified this file format previously or not, as a larger file (TIFF) may give better results (I'm still very new at this). The next batch I'll use the Fuji FinePix software supplied on CD with the camera and see what happens.
I appreciate that photo enthusiasts wouldn't even look at a camera such as this one, but for ordinary people who want good basic pictures with the minimum of fuss, I'd recommend it highly - just point and shoot!
Great Beginner Camera for price.......2007-01-13
A few friends were looking for digital cameras under £100. I read reviews elsewhere and recommended/purchased Fuji A600 for them. They were thrilled and love it as their first digi camera, by using the auto settings.
I've always loved fuji cameras ease of use and photo quality. at 6MP you get good printouts. Got the XD picture card from amazon at excellent price too!
Happy Clicking
Exellent Fuji A600.......2007-01-10
This is a first class small camera,Ideal for people who Just want to take pictures with out having to set any controls. A very large and clear LCD screen with very good Clarity. I have taken a few Macro pictures and the definition was great.Its worth spending a few extra pounds on a Fuji XD picture card from Pixmania uk. I bought the 1Gb,so i had know worries about running out of space while away on Holiday. Well Done Fuji.

Looks like a case for trading standards..........2007-11-15
I bought this mp3 player for my mother who wished to use it in her car. Unfortunately, this is listed as having an FM Transmitter when it only has a FM receiver. I sent this product back expecting a replacement to be made but instead I received a refund. This begs me to believe that there is no such model with a transmitter on it!!! Don't buy this item if you are looking for this feature.
Do buy it if this feature is not important to you as it is one of the best mp3 players around.
Great little Audible player!.......2007-10-25
Contrary to the previous gentleman's review of this product, I find it quite easy to use with Audible books.
Do you want to save your place in the book for next time?
Simply power off the device whilst in the middle of the book - no need to pause.
I do wish it came with a protective carry pouch.
Pretty Good.......2007-09-12
Got this a few months back along with a 2GB micro SD card. I initially suffered from some instability as described by another reviewer (Mr Anderson) but this situation was swiftly rectified by a firmware update.
Since the firmware was updated the only issues I've had have been related to the version of the mp3 tags I use. It doesn't seem to like certain versions of ID3v2 tags (stick with 2.3 you will be fine - I use the free program MP3Tag for the purpose).
The radio reception is great, the voice recorder is average, the sound quality is better than my girlfriends iPod (with appropriate earbuds) and you can also use it in removable drive mode if you are savvy enough (see the AnythingButIPod forums for detail).
In all I'm glad I bought it and I would buy another if it broke.
Trouble With Audible Books, etc.......2007-09-09
I bought this device on the back of its supposed support for the Audible (.aa) audio book format. However, since taking it out of the box yesterday, I've had nothing but problems with it. It was supposed to be a gift for my mum, along with some audio books I would download and put on for her. However, it's so bad I have no choice but to send it back.
I've experienced all of the following problems, all within less than a day of use. Some of the trouble relates to Audible and not SanDisk, but I'm including it here because Sandisk and Amazon have prominently stated its usability as an Audible audio book reader on Amazon's site listing, on Sandisk.com and on the package contents.
* The device hung, warranting a reset. I found out how to do this on forums.
* The device repeatedly loses the settings you choose and goes back to the default without telling you.
* The hold button is wobbly and looks like it could fall off after some use.
* After signing up to www.audible.co.uk, and putting in my credit card details, I found that there were major issues downloading purchased books. I'm using a fully up-to-date copy of Windows Vista. When you select the item to download, the connection dialog appears and nothing happens. What you have to do, it seems, is to click cancel on this and retry it (often up to ten times) before download will commence. Downloads will then frequently fail or pause permanently part of the way through.
* Once you've successfully fought with it until it's downloaded, you've then got to transfer it to your device. Another fight. This time, it plays on the PC, but not the device, and transferring to the device again won't work (inexplicably), so you have to go through the process of downloading it again. Keep doing this repeatedly until it's downloaded and successfully transferred to the device and working on it.
* Once you've done the above, you'd better savour your first listening experience on it, because you might not get to hear it again. I found that after a couple of minutes of use, the audiobook files would no longer play, and the device would skip the selection and go to the next one with absolutely no error or explanation. The only step I could find to deal with this was to start all over again with another download. Transferring to the device again does not work.
* I downloaded the Audible Manager app from www.audible.co.uk and it wasn't the latest version. Why not ? I manually updated the Manager and also updated the device firmware myself from Sandisk's support site, and neither made any improvement.
* When I cancelled the subscription to Audible to stop my credit card being debited, I noticed another problem. When you select service cancellation, you have to confirm on their website several times before it will actually cancel, and what they do is they put the confirmation request way down at the bottom of a very long page. This way, when you click confirm, you see only the top half, which is empty. It would be quite easy for someone to assume the cancellation is done, but when you scroll down, you see they're asking you questions and it's not cancelled. The same thing happens on the next page, and the next, and the next. After several sneakily hidden steps, you finally get a confirmation that your subscription is cancelled and an e-mail to the same effect.
I work in IT, and am (if I do say so myself) technology savvy. How they (Sandisk or Audible) could expect anyone to put up with this garbage is beyond me. I can only imagine there are quite a few people dissatisfied, particularly if they don't have the time, inclination or ability to deal with technology problems.
Sorry for the long post. Here's the short version: absolute garbage.
