Now cheap and good value...........2008-01-07

I bought one of these for £90 about 18 months ago. It has served us well for what it is - stick it in your pocket and you have a good little camera that takes crisp bright shots with the option for zooming in. I didn't want any major features as I see this as a point and shoot camera, but I was drawn to the optical zoom as other have said, digital zoom just 'blows up' the picture, as if you zoom in once you have it on the PC. I then bought 7 of these for our primary school and the teachers and kids all use them all the time. The price had naturally dropped and with some haggling, we got them for fifty quid with cases, XD cards and rechargeable batteries (ALL digi cameras eat batteries - get rechargeable). We have only had one go faulty, but this was dealt with under warranty and took less than two weeks to turn around - which included the posting off and back.

You can pay more, but I want to have mine 'kicking about' so don't want to feel precious about an expensive camera. Buy a 1GB card for a tenner, set the camera to extra fine and full size pics and make sure it is always in your pocket!

Easy to pick up and use.......2006-12-26

I was looking for an inexpensive, fairly easy to use digital camera for my holiday in Cologne in June 2006. I wanted it to have a zoom lens and take a decent photo, but not be so expensive that if I lost it I had lost hundreds of pounds.

I went to a local high street electrical retailer and had a look in their camera cabinet and though the Fujifilm Finepix A510 would fit the bill. At less than £100 (with XD memory card included in this store) it wasn't expensive, but still looked to take a decent picture when I tried it out in the shop.

I also liked the ease of use. All the buttons are right where you need them and are clearly marked, telling you what they do without having to get out the manual. The options in the menu are very limited. While this is good to just pick up and use, for more proficient photographers it become a bit limitting. Nothing to change white balance and using anything other than auto focus can be a chore. This camera is very much for amatures.

Still, it takes a good photograph which it what it was made for.

The video function is very basic, with no sound.

This camera uses XD memory cards, and these should be widely available in the shops or online.

I like the ease of use of this camera, it is comfortable in the hand and is very lightweight. Recommended for holidays, nights out and general use around the home. Not really for detailed or semi-professional work.

Entry level camera that keeps it simple.......2006-11-29

I'll be honest. I've only played with this camera for a couple days, and now it's back in the box and I refuse to use it... because it's a Christmas present for someone else. HAHA.

I bought this camera because of the advertised ease of use for beginners. I must say that a minimal amount of buttons (no dials) and a sizable LCD screen certainly reinforce the beginner aspect. It's small (I can wrap my hand nearly all the way around it) and quite light.

Very few options beside changing the shooting mode are available. Movies are simple soundless clips at 10 frames per second. For the most part, leaving the shooting mode at "auto" is suitable for taking stills. The photos I took were very clear. I like to think I'm not swayed by Fuji's advertisements about the Super CCD sensor inside, but you get the feeling that they put some thought into producing a decent photo at 5 megapixels max instead of a noisy grainy one at 10 megapixels.

You can get up to 3x closer to your subject with an optical zoom. There is digital zoom to, but this feature just blurs images on every camera that uses it.

Startup is very quick. You're ready to snap away in less about 4 seconds from powering on. My old camera takes at least 10 seconds.

The flash is quite powerful, but not so strong as to white-out close subjects.

Two simple AA batteries power the camera. I recommend 2000+ mah rechargeables.

Pictures are best stored on XD memory cards as the internal memory can hold no more than a paltry half dozen photos at a decent resolution. A 256mb card cost me a tenner. It really begs the question why more memory isn't built into the camera (or ANY camera) when you've no choice but to shell out a bit more for it anyway. It's marketing I suppose.

For the sub-100 price, I was quite frankly surprised. While I undertand the cost might have gone up, the features that I would have liked to see would have been image stabilisation and sound to go with the movies.

Whether you go with this model, Fuji in general, or any other maker, pay close attention to the fact that many new cameras do NOT come with an optical viewfinder. The A510 does in addition to its 1.8 inch LCD screen. While a 2.5 to 3 inch LCD screen looks sweet, on your sunny holidays you'll have a heck of a time seeing it in the bright sunlight.

A good camera with some bad points........2006-09-18

I've had this camera a couple of months now. I don't use it all that much. The A510 takes good photos and has a good zoom on it. A bad point is battery consumption. If you're using it for special occassions etc. you'll easily go through a set of batteries each time. I'm very dissappointed at the rate it goes through batteries. Another point is with using the flash on auto (say indoors for example), when it needs the flash, it seems to take a while to charge the flash after you press the shutter button and if you're trying to photo a toddler etc. they're usually long gone by the time the flash has charged and flashed. There's maybe other settings to compensate for this. Remember, this review is maybe a bit too soon, as I said, I've not used it that much, however, I stand by the poor battery lifespan.
