Product Description:
From the Manufacturer
Fujifilm introduces the FinePix A205 Zoom. As easy to use as your
TV remote, and with the same point and shoot simplicity, this
camera will tame even the most timid technophobe.
Equipped with a 3x Fujinon optical zoom lens, 2 million pixel
CCD, Video Out socket, increased battery life and smart Fujifilm
design, the FinePix A205 Zoom delivers high quality images without
the need to frown over an instruction booklet.
Small buttons and long menus can be intimidating to first
timers, but the FinePix A205 Zoom is easier to handle with its
larger buttons and a simple layout, making camera navigation
child's play.
As a 2 million pixel camera, the FinePix A205 Zoom's images are
a manageable size. Sending and storing your shots is therefore a
much snappier process, whilst the picture quality will have you
thinking that a higher spec camera is lurking beneath its simple
exterior.

Imagine you don't have a
PC. The Video Out socket connects the camera to your television, et voila
- your own private slide show! The pictures can then easily be turned into
prints with Fujifilm's high street photo printing service, FDi.
The cherry on the cake is the 3x Fujinon lens,
providing an optical reach that lets you zoom in and automatically gives
you crisp image quality.
Fujifilm's low battery consumption is an added
bonus, saving you money on batteries and letting you enjoy taking pictures
for even longer.

Takes excellent pictures,
but...., December 10, 2003
Reviewer: "randyj86"
Since I'm on a college budget, I needed to get an inexpensive camera so I
could take pictures during the Thanksgiving Break. My requirments were at
least 2 megapixals and decent image quality. I read a number of digial
camera reviews and decided to pick up the Fuji Finepix A205. My first
thoughts of the camera was the bulk; it's quite thick but it is light
weight. Not something you would want to stick in your pants or shirt
pocket though. The buttons on the camera do feel cheap, but it was only
$150 so what?
Other than those small gripes, the camera takes excellent pictures but
only in well lit environments. Outdoor pictures are really nice. Indoor
shots can end up grainy if there isn't alot of light and I mean A LOT OF
LIGHT. The flash is only effective in close range (at least 5ft to 6ft)
Anything beyond that, make sure the environment is well lit or your
subject is close.
Macro mode just takes a press of the button and it works really well.
There is also a movie mode, but forget about using it unless the room is
very very very very well lit.
Comparing indoor shots taken with the A205 and a 3MP Sony digital camera,
the A205 images were less grainy than the Sony's, but the Sony's pictures
were brighter because of the better flash.
In conclusion, the Fuji Finepix A205 takes very excellent pictures
outdoors and indoors in bright light or when the subject is close to the
camera with the flash. I could only give it 3 stars for the poor flash
performance.
