| Review: "'ve said it before, but I'll say it again - the best place to see how far digital cameras have come in just a few short years is not with the latest top-of-the-line cutting edge products, it's in the low-end budget camera category. That's right, if you want to see the biggest surprises in digital photography, check out what less than $200 will buy you these days.
In the case of Fujifilm's cameras, it's the 5.1-megapixel, 3x optical FinePix A500 which retails for a suggested list price of $179 but can be found for as low as $119 at some online retail sites.....
Despite the progress that's been made at the lower end of digital photography, you do give up quite a bit in overall performance with this inexpensive snapshooter. For one, the camera is very sluggish to use. In particular, the glacial shot to shot performance on the Fuji A500 can be frustrating and since it has no Continuous mode, there are not many options for speeding it up." |
