Good camera, March 13, 2006
Reviewer: Tiffany M. Rayel "rebnd441"

I've used this camera for longer then I can remember, and only discontinued using it because I upgraded to a digital camera. Any problems expressed in other listings may be due to mishandling of the camera. If you take good care of this product it can last for years!

Defective Zoom Gears, December 27, 2003
Reviewer: A customer

Camera is easy to load and takes good pictures at first. However the gears that open the lens cover and zoom in and out go bad after after 2 to 5 years and the camera can no longer be used. Each of my daughters had this camera and they both went bad. Fuji will not repair this defect and it costs about $150 to fix. Avoid this camera.

The DL290 By Fuji, May 11, 2001
Reviewer: McDughf (Swansea Wales)

I'm really sorry that the above people had these problems, but these may be just one or two bad apples out of a good crop. And good is certainly a word I'd use to describe the DL290. Straight out of the box you can feel the high quality of the product, unlike some of the cheap and nasty feeling products from other companies. The camera itself is SO easy to use, drop in loading, point and shoot, etc, and has some very advanced features built in too. The picture quality may be sometimes blurred SLIGHTLY, but if you have a steady hand, the outcome is sharp with radiant colours. It has a self timer, and a remote control option for taking pictures too, whilst the range of the Zoom is one of the best for this price catogory. Unfortunatly I lost mine in a party, but Im making my insurance company get me the exact same camera, even though I can get a more expensive camera by another company. My last one served me very well, and its stunning quality mixed with easy of use has convinced me to get another just like it. For the price, you really cannot go wrong.

Great camera, January 7, 2001
Reviewer: A customer

I have this camera and have been using it for almost a yr. It takes great pictures. I've taken pictures of my kids at the amusement parks going around on a ride and it got a clear picture of a moving subject. It even does pretty good for night pictures too which I was amazed with. Overall it's a great camera. I like the easy loading of this cmaera too.

 It was passable while it lasted, September 9, 2000
Reviewer: A customer

Before it died, this was an acceptible camera. Unfortunately the automatic lens features fell apart and Fuji refuses to fix it without a store receipt AND the warranty card. It's unreasonable to refuse to fix obvious manufacturing defects.
In particular, the automatic lens cover doors no longer function, and the lens will not zoom. Since the lens cover won't open, the camera's as good as dead.

I'm thoroughly unhappy with Fuji's customer service, and this camera is to be avoided.

Discover Fuji Discovery, August 17, 2000
Reviewer: Charles A. Stewart

I found this Camera very easy to use.I could put it in my pocket and go.Outdoors it is hard to beat.Indoors the flash does not throw very far.It's great for closeups, like friends at a table.But far shots indoors are not it's forte.It produces beautiful clear photos. Good value for the money.
