Manufacturer: Fuji ProductGroup: Photography Binding: Electronics Accessories:
Product Features:
ASIN: B00004TLW2 |
Product Description
MX-2900 Zoom digital camera bridges the gap between amateur and professional photography. Enjoy 2.3 million pixels' worth of brilliant color, plus a 3x optical zoom lens. With this high resolution, it raises digital quality to another level and creates images as large as 1,800 x 1,200 pixels. You can also add your own lens or flash, if desired. The camera features 2.5x digital zoom, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and large color LCD viewing monitor.The CCD's higher integration also gives you a 3:2 aspect ratio, ideal for shots of large groups or endless landscapes. Enlarge an image or trim it to alter the composition. When you examine an image taken with the MX-2900 Zoom, you'll notice how the skin tones look natural, the green leaves say it's springtime, and the sky is a luminous blue. One source of this accuracy is the advanced spectral characteristics of the MX-2900 Zoom's RGB primary-color filter. Along with auto white balance, it ensures that the colors are faithful and vibrant.Amazon.com Product Description
The FujiFilm MX-2900 digital camera includes some of the best features in digital imaging. With 2.3 megapixels packed into a 1/1.7-inch CCD, this camera offers the ability to create high resolution images as large as 1,800 x 1,200 pixels. You can print photo-quality images up to 8 by 10 inches. A primary color filter and auto white balance maintain the realistic images you want to create--grass stays green and the sky remains blue.The optical 3x zoom lens introduces versatility to your image capturing. It delivers coverage equivalent to a 35-105mm range in 35mm cameras. Your close-ups and portraits will have the look and feel of traditional photographs. The camera boots up in no time at all and the interval between frames is short so you won't miss a shot.
The camera controls are operated with a mode dial and a four-direction button. The menus for everything from setup, shooting, playback, and data transfer appear on the LCD screen. Framing guidelines assist the editing and cropping process without the hassle of downloading to a computer first. The MX-2900 is fully automatic, but features manual exposure control and white balance for greater control over shots.
Each image you take is stored on the 8 MB SmartMedia card or deleted, as you choose. In the playback mode, the MX-2900 offers several digital effects. With the use of filters, you can add sepia, black-and-white, silver cross, or rainbow cross effects. The latter two effects add a sparkle and glimmer to highlight areas of a picture. A flat image will instantly become bright and shimmering.
A pop-up flash allows for clear images even in difficult shooting situations. This extra-value bundle includes an external flash to enhance your creative control, as well as a USB card reader for easy downloads. Other accessories include an 8 MB SmartMedia card, NP-80 rechargable battery, AC adapter, lens cap, video cable, hand strap, aerial cables for Windows and Macintosh, CD-ROM for Windows and Mac, TWAIN driver and Adobe PhotoDeluxe 3.0.
Customer Reviews:
Great package, but not complete.......2000-08-15
Overall the Best Value.......2000-08-03
It's a great starter package for the price........2000-07-28
A spare battery is useful because the camera drains the battery really fast (especially when you always use the LCD monitor). A quick charger (BC-80) is really handy because it only takes an hour to recharge the battery (the AC adapter takes 8 hours). A few smartmedia cards are necessary because the 8MB smartmedia card that's included in the package doesn't hold much photos. For example, 1 picture taken at the "hi" setting (uncompressed file) and "1800x1200" pixel setting will use up 8MB of space already. Without the extra memory cards, you'll find yourself always running to your computer so you can move your picture files from your smartmedia card. By the way, unlike what the other reviewer said (5 photos at "fine" setting with 32MB smartmedia card), a 32MB smartmedia card will actually store up to 36 photos taken with the "fine" and "1800x1200" pixel settings. You can even verify this at Fujifilm's website... I suggest you visit that website to learn more about the camera's features and specifications.
The camera has both automatic and full manual modes. It even has a self-timer. There are so many features so make sure you read the manual... As of today (July 27,2000), this camera rates as #2 in the 2-3 megapixel range (second only to Olympus C2020).
I have not found much use for the "high" setting (uncompressed ".tiff" images). Like what the other reviewer said, this format is nonstandard. Most online photo sharing/printing services accept only the ".jpeg" format (available with the "fine," "normal," and "basic" settings for this camera). If you plan to print your photos, the "fine" and 1800x1200 pixel settings will produce 4"x6" prints that are comparable in quality to photos taken from a 35mm camera (I have not tried printing larger prints). Otherwise, for web sharing, the lower settings will do the job just fine...
I have no regrets about buying this camera. Yes, there are cameras with 3+ megapixels out there, but I do not yet see the need to upgrade. This camera is worth the price that Amazon.com is selling it for (I would not pay more).
Before I end this review, let me just say a few basic things: 1.)Cost: it's a good value 2.)Strengths: looks impressive (like those 35mm Nikons); auto/manual modes; photos show good colors; crisp images on LCD monitor 3.)Weaknesses: internal flash can be weak (make sure you always have your external flash at reach); the lens cap just dangles on the side; kind of slow (takes too long between shots) unless you use "continuous shooting" mode (in which case, you're automatically fixed at only 640x480 pixels)
Great Hardware, sorry software.......2000-07-14
This is the best digital camera for the money.......2000-07-06
This camera is easy to use. I have read the instruction booklet that came with it, but usage of the camera is pretty straight forward and reading it was only needed for some of the more complicated functions.
Everything you need is included. You get the cameras, a memory chip, a plug adapter (that also works in europe!), software for your PC (download mac free from www.fujifilm.com), rechargeable battery, and a cable to download images to your computer via the "scuzzi" port. It looks like Amazon has thrown in the USB connector which is a great - the downloads will be much faster. I recommend buying the 64MB SmartMedia memory card as you can take 100's of photos without downloading with that memory chip.
I have been traveling in Europe and have been able to take great pictures and send them back to my friends and family in the States via the intranet. I have the 32MB SmartMedia card and can take 64 pictures at the "normal" setting before needing to download. The pictures have so many pixels that I have to reduce the images in half for my personal website to allow the images to be viewed normally by web browsers. Using "Fine" mode, I can only take 5 pictures per 32MB memory card, but the photos are simply astounding.
Viewing the full size pictures on PC makes for a great slide show and an excellent image library for the occasional "remember this?" email to friends. Using software like thumbsplus (http://www.thumbsplus.com/) - makes it easy to turn my images into webpages and has an excellent database mechanism allowing me to search my pictures by keyword.
When I take the camera out for the afternoon I feel free to take pictures of whatever I want. If the picture doesn't turn out - I erase it - right from the camera. I have been able to be much more experimental with my photography this way as I don't have to shell out cash for every single picture I take that doesn't quite work out.
I like it so much, that I bought one for my Dad. He loves it and has been sending me a bunch of great pictures via email. Unfortunately, Amazon did not carry the camera at the time and I paid $750 for it! But now they do carry it for way less and I am passing this URL off to my friends who have asked about my camera.
