Amazon.com Product Description

Speed is mostly what sets the A340 apart from previous cameras. Slide the camera cover open and you'll be ready to start taking photos in about three seconds. The camera also has a quick refresh between images--less than a second. Images come out of the A340 quickly, too, since it is compatible with the much-faster transfer speeds of USB 2.0 when uploading to computers that are likewise equipped.

Optics and Resolution
Featuring a 4-megapixel CCD sensor, the A340 can create images up to 2016 x 1512 pixels, which is enough information to create photo-quality prints up to 10 by 13 inches. The camera features a 3x Fujinon zoom lens. Also, the camera has a 1.7x digital zoom feature, but only when shooting in 2MP mode. To get those close-up shots full of detail, the A340's macro mode can focus the camera on subjects just 3.6 inches from the lens.

Movie Mode
Shoot up to one minute of AVI video without sound at resolutions up to 320 x 240 pixels. The movies aren't camcorder quality, but they're fun and convenient, and they're perfect as e-mail attachments. The camera includes cables that allow you to view your movies on NTSC (North American) and PAL (other regions) televisions and, of course, you can upload the files to your computer via the camera's USB interface.

Good camera for taking eBay auction pics.......2007-09-19

Good camera for taking eBay auction pics

Decent picture quality / decent battery life / but some gripes are the cradle ( if included ) stopped recharging the battery, you can't just mainline the power cord to the camera to recharge the battery, you have to use the cradle.

The included 16MB card is good for about 8 high res shots, you definitely need to upgrade the card to a 512MB or better, BUT YOU CAN STILL ONLY SHOOT 60 SECONDS OF VIDEO at a time no matter how big the card is. This was disappointing since we expected to be able to shoot continuous video until the card is full

The anti red eye is hardly that, you'll still get red eyes when the camera triple flashes during a shot.

The menus are easy to figure out, the power switch is quite simple, just open the lens cap and lens zooms open.

Macro pics are decent, we use this camera to take close up shots for our eBay auctions and our sales have improved since.

Gets the job done ;-).......2007-09-01

I bought this camera after my old camera broke down. I really didn't know what I wanted with my new camera but, I did know I wanted a digital and I wanted to be able to view the pic on both T.V. and PC. So I got this one & It's a good camera. Hold alot of pic and pics come out good. After playin with it, I now know that I wish it also have editing features. so I can edit the pics without having to download the pic on the PC first. I would be able to edit pic from the camera and go get then printed. Other than that-this camera is very good.

it kills the XD cards!!!.......2007-08-18

I have used this camera for about 2 years, and have taken a lot of wonderful pictures with it, although I agree with the negative reviews (the quality is noticeably worse at 3X zoom, slow shutter speed, almost impossible to take a decent picture in dark places, etc).

However, I believe the BIGGEST problem this camera has (and it took my wife and I a while to figure out wtf was going on) is the fact that it destroys the XD card when one erases all the pictures on it! It happened to me on several occasions when I was abroad in some beautiful places, and had the cards full with pictures from previous trips; I erased all the pictures using the "ERASE ALL" option in the menu, and promptly received the "CARD ERROR" message after trying to take a new picture.

I am giving this camera 2 stars instead of 1 only because somehow I managed to get a lot of wonderful pictures (though I spent a lot of money on cards); I am currently shopping for a new camera, and Fuji is not on my list.

Go for something a little better........2007-05-27

I found the fujifilm camera takes mediocre pictures. The flash always seemed too bright, which always made the subject too light and the background too dark. Outside was the only time I got a good picture and that was rare. Inside, without the flash, you get a blurry picture. I honestly got better pictures from a disposable camera than with this digital camera.

It might've just been my luck, but I also lost 5 memory cards to this camera. Every once in awhile, I'd turn my camera on and the screen would read "card error". All my pictures were erased and the card became useless.

At least I didn't pay for it.......2007-05-10

I got this camera as a gift. At first I was really happy to finally have a digital camera. Then I found the power mechanism to be inconvenient. Even if I put it in a case it can open by itself, which drowns the batteries. Also, when taking pictures at night or a dimly lit room, the picture comes out looking like "someone on acid" I don't like it at all. I've missed so many photo opportunities because of this fault. I am currently looking for a new camera with NIGHT vision being on the top of the list.

Overall, it's ok. Battery life is fine and it takes decent pics.

Great for it's PRICE (504$ sale)! but there are drawbacks..........2004-09-09

GAMING
First off let me tell you that this has been a great monitor to have for it's price (504$ at the time of the sale). Even though it had 25ms, I ran games like UT 2004, ET, and Doom 3 and saw that there wasn't any ghosting at the native resolution 1280x1024. If you run it at any other resolution in games such as Diablo 2 (800x600 max) you'll see artifacts and pixelation. This is thru the DVI connection on an ATI 9500 pro.

BRIGHTNESS
Another good point of the monitor is it's extremely bright that I had to turn down the brightness on the monitor to 0. Along with adjustments to the video card brightness in the Display options. To help alleviate the headaches caused by the bright screen, additional back lighting in the room is needed (because it will sting your eyes if the only light source is coming from this monitor).

DVD PLAYBACK
DVD movies, DIVX, and others ran fine, popped in the Matrix and Reloaded and saw it handle the fast action sequences just fine and crisp as well.

LOOKS/AESTHETICS
The looks of this monitor is extremely sleek with it's thin bezel and black charcoal color. When I first took it out of the box, I marveled at the size of the panel (previous monitor was a 19" crt).

GHOSTING ON WEB PAGES
But as the previous reviewer mentioned, there is ghosting while scrolling, especially with dark background web pages with white text(or a light color). It's extremely evident. And it's a problem associated with LCD's. Because of this I get headaches while browsing through web forums or pages because the ghosting is really evident and my eyes have been trained to detect it now.

THE UNFLEXIBLE STAND
Plus the stand that comes with this monitor does not let you turn the monitor left<->right (you have to adjust the stand for that). It was also a pain to install the DVI connection since the monitor comes attached to the stand, you have to tilt the panel backward so that you can reach in there blindly to attach the DVI/power connectors.

I'm sorry to say that I am going to have to return this monitor for a dell 2001fp and see if the higher response rate will help (even though I was told the problem occurs with 16ms response rates as well).

Hope this helps you.

Very good product, except..........2004-08-27

First, let me say Amazon did a better job than usual. Order placed on 08/15, item received 3 days later. And at that time, it's still $504.

Setup is easy. I use the DVI connection with Sapphire ATI 9200 64M, a low-end VC, but the image still crystal-clear! I watch some DVD on my PC, the BIG DIFFERENCE from my old 17' HP CRT make you feel it's worth every penny you have spent...

I gave it 4 stars, mainly because it's image quality and price (you can't beat the $500 for a 19' LCD). But it's not perfect, and here is why:

1. Ghost. BenQ FP951 has response time of 25ms, and ghost is apparently noticeable. I am not talking about playing games, but normal Windows operation, like dragging a folder across screen or scrolling a webpage. My poor VC may also contribute to it, so if you believe a high-end VC can correct this, ignore my complain.

2. Menu is not well written. It seems like cheap paper, and really doesn't make you feel that you just spent $500 on it. It's written in 5, maybe 6 languages, not one after another, but interlaced for each sentence. It's kind of annoying.

3. Also due to the poor menu. Be advised that when you use DVI, the 'auto setup' and 'geometry' function is disabled. I didn't know this till get off phone with BenQ tech support. They should have said something in the menu.

Except these minor issues, I recommend this product. If you are not so picky about the ghost, do programming, word processing all the time, this 'cheap' 19' LCD is a very good choice for you.

GREAT PRODUCT,VERY GOOD PRICE. TAKES A LITTLE TIME TO INSTALL ITS NOT BAD USING SUPPLIED SOFTWARE . VERY CRISP COLORS ,LARGE SCREEN, I AM REALLY ENJOYING IT VERY MUCH. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MONITOR,BENQ REALLY BUILDING GREAT PRODUCTS.

Excellent LCD Monitor.......2004-06-30

I just bought this monitor on June 18 but not from Amazon though. This monitor is an excellent monitor, I think it's about the same quality as the Dell Ultrasharp 1901FP, if not better. When I first hooked this monitor up, it's a little too bright for me so I have to turn it down a bit and it's a little bit difficult to hook the monitor cable up, but you only need to do it once so that wasn't a problem. And for the price on a 19" you cannot beat and it's also a excellent monitor. I am a very picky person and this monitor leave me with speechless when I hooked it up. Oh yeah, and no dead pixel for me.
