Helpful consumer’s review
I was very excited when I received this camera. I liked it very much, and thought I was getting a lot of camera for the money. Sure enough, the pictures looked great, very true color, nice to handle, Black & White setting. It was a little heavy and uses those XD cards, but overall I really liked it. Then, within about three hours of owning it – after less then ten pictures – something had gone awry. The zoom lens was stuck, it wouldn’t move and the “zoom error” message kept appearing. Then, the camera would shut off. That’s when I referenced the manual and found out that it wasn’t a fixable error. It had to be fixed by the manufacturer. I have since learned that there may be a fix for it, and quite frankly I wouldn’t want to deal with the “zoom error” happening all the time anyway. I guess I know why I couldn’t find a new one on-line, and why there were so many refurbished. I still really like Fuji cameras, but I wouldn’t trust this model, especially a “recertified” one. I have since learned that I am not the only person who has found this out the hard way. Lucky, I was able to return mine for a refund.
