Better pictures than the Canon EOS Rebel and Pentax IQ 145QD, May 25,
2001
Reviewer: Mary Sorens
I used one of these cameras a few years ago while my camera was being
repaired. Since then, I have tried other cameras, including the more
expensive Pentax IQ and the new Canon EOS Rebel 2000. Nothing has come
close to the picture quality and ease of use of the Fuji Discovery
Cameras. I recently bought the slightly updated version of this camera
(the 320 QD) for myself and have loved it.
Unlike the Pentax IQ series, this camera allows you to leave the flash off
without keeping the shutter open longer (blurring pictures). It's the only
camera that takes excellent shots in a dim cathedral. You would think that
newer cameras would be better than this older model, but they just aren't!
The only drawbacks of this camera are its bulky size (which I actually
like, because it feels good and solid in my hand) and the rather dim
viewfinder. But the pictures never come out dim. If you find the Discovery
320, it comes in a nice silver color with a grey rubber grip on the side.
Highly recommended!!!

Exciting features, disappointing performance, September 21, 2002
Reviewer: Julie A Hartmus
I received this camera as a gift about 5 years ago. I love the ability to
take a panoramic shot here and there. It is good for large family shots
where you are trying to fit everyone in. I also enjoy the remote control.
We used it a lot on our honeymoon. That's the good side.
On the down side, the film advance and zoom are VERY loud. Don't expect to
use it in a quiet setting like a wedding. The view finder does not
accurately represent the picture; it seems to be offcenter. Because of
this, you have to be VERY careful when focusing to make sure that you are
getting the *right* part of the view finder on the subject that you want
to focus on. In addition, I can't hand off my camera to someone else to
take the picture, because it is never in focus. Never was able to get this
fixed.
I have "learned" to be able to take decent pictures with it, but even I
miss it sometimes...and it is always on the really cute pictures. I have
been limping along with it mostly because it worked good enough to
tolerate all the "lost" good pictures.
We are now expecting a baby, and I want to be able to get good pictures
for myself and to be able to have others take good pictures with it too.
So we are shopping for a replacement...Finally...Allelujia!

Risky, September 9, 2001
Reviewer: A customer
I just got this camera and was first delighted by all the features it
carries within an acceptable price. However, after careful observation, it
seems that this camera's design is old and technology outdated since 1993
(this is the default start date set by the camera itself, which makes it
risky). Also, it doesnt run smooth and I've heard bad things about Fuji's
customer service as mentioned by others. I am disappointed and plan to
return it back for an exchange. You are better off with a Nikon 90 QD/120
ED or, if you can afford, a Canon Rebel.
This is a sincere advice: Don't buy this brand!

Great pictures start here!, October 20, 2000
Reviewer: A customer
This is the best camera we've ever owned! The timer and remote finctions
enable us to take pictures with both of us actually in them! Versatile,
easy to use and very reliable.
