Product Description

Fujifilm FinePix A303 is the perfect mid-range camera that combines sleek styling with 3.0 megapixel resolution. A 3X optical zoom delivers crisp, clear, lifelike results. Featuring programmed auto exposure mode, the FinePix A303 is also capable of recording movie clips of up to 60 seconds duration (at QVGA resolution) and can be used as a webcam.The camera is easy to use, and perfect photos are assured at the press of a button whilst the supplied FinePix Viewer software makes image download and management equally simple. It also features long battery life thanks to low power consumption.

Amazon.com Product Description

For the novice digital photographer, the Fuji FinePix A303 offers 3-megapixel resolution with flexible functions in a trim, slim design--just over 5 ounces with batteries. It also is one of the first digital cameras to utilize the tiny XD memory card.

Optics and Resolution
Featuring a CCD sensor with 3.24 million effective pixels, the FinePix A303 delivers a wide range of detail and color (with images up to 2,048 x 1,536 pixels) and prints up to 11 by 14 inches. The FinePix A303 features a fast f/2.8 Fujinon lens with a 3x optical zoom and a 3.2x digital zoom for a 9.6x total zoom. Its lens focal length is equivalent to 38-114mm on a 35mm camera.

Storage and Transfer
The FinePix A303 is one of the first digital cameras to be compatible with the new XD memory card. Comparable in size to a penny and weighing less than one-tenth of an ounce, the new XD memory card is not only the smallest storage medium, it also uses less power for better battery performance and has faster data transfer rates than other memory cards. The included 16 MB XD card will store approximately 12 images at fine mode and 26 images at normal mode.

To transfer images to your computer, simply attach the included USB cable between your PC and your camera--your computer should automatically recognize the camera and let you move the pictures to your hard drive.

Movie Mode
In movie mode, the FinePix A303 produces digital videos (with no sound) in QVGA (320 x 240) format for movies approximately 60 seconds in length at 10 frames per second. The limited resolution of your movies guarantees that this feature won't replace your camcorder, but it's perfect for when you just want to capture a quick movie and e-mail it to a friend or relative.

More Features

1.5-inch LCD monitor
White balance: auto, plus six selectable positions in manual mode
Flash modes: auto, red-eye reduction, forced flash, suppressed flash, and slow synchro
Sensitivity: ISO 100 equivalent
Shutter speed: 1/2 to 1/2,000 second

Power
The FinePix A303 is powered by two AA batteries (alkalines are included). We recommend getting a set or two of rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries and a charger. A digital camera will kill a set of alkaline batteries extremely quickly, especially if you're using the camera's LCD, so they aren't recommended except in a pinch.

Size
At 3.8 by 2.5 by 1.4 inches and 5.1 ounces (without battery), the FinePix A303 is an easily pocketable point-and-shoot camera.

Contents
This package includes the FinePix A303 digital camera, a 16 MB XD memory card, two AA alkaline batteries, a USB cable, a hand strap, and a CD-ROM with software and USB drivers for Windows and Mac.

Good for its age.......2007-07-01

I bought this camera several years ago and can say that I am pleased with its performance over that time. I thought I would add my thoughts on it to the chorus.

Pros:
Reliable - It has not malfunctioned for me in the time I've had it
Uses 2AA batteries so it is easy to replace them in a pinch
The xD media has become comperable to other media in price
Easy connection to computers via USB cable
Capable of switching resolution from 3.2 MP down to .3 MP
Good for taking close-ups
Multiple flash settings

Cons:
Extremely slow in start-up and between shots
Slow shudder speed
Automatic focus makes it virtually impossible to shoot through glass
Very small LCD screen in the back
Pictures become blurrged when the batteries start run down
Flash can fail or be mistimed when the batteries are low
No sound on video

All-in-all, it is a decent camera considering its age and price. It is good for stationary subjects such as landscape, plants, and overweight cats. If you expect to need to take action shots or several shots in a row, it is not the camera for you. The shudder speed is too slow for moving targets and it can take 5-7 seconds between pictures when using the flash.

My personal opinion rates is at 4-stars, though I could not rationally give it more than 3 due to its age and the afore-mentioned drawbacks.

Very good, cheap digital camera .......2007-04-20

For its low price, this camera is worth it. It takes nice quality pictures and is durable. I've dropped it a few times and it hasn't broken yet. It is also extremely easy to use. Even my mom figured out how to use it!!!

Overall: A very good camera

inflo.......2007-03-09

The product was not as advertized, The zoom would not work. Apparently the camera was dropped hitting on the zume lense, breaking it. I am returning product to sender. The item is worthless as it is.

Slowest. Camera. Ever.......2007-02-02

I've had this camera for a couple years and I'm just dying to buy a new one.

We went to Vegas a couple months ago and tried to take pictures of the Lions at Caesars. Here's how it works:
1) Turn on camera, wait a minute for it to be ready
2) Take a picture (with flash)
3) Wait about 50 seconds until it's ready to take the next one.

I can't believe this camera has such high ratings. Besides being horribly slow, the picture quality is hit or miss. When it's on, it's really great, but about half of the time it's "off."

Cheap, but ... cheap.......2007-01-25

I got this camera as a gift in December 2002. As one of the least expensive 3 megapixel cameras at the time (the output is 2048x1536 pixels), it sold fairly quickly. It seemed nice at first, with the large image size for the price, but I became disappointed with image quality after a while. The sensor is only capable of ISO 100 speeds, so it would insist on using the flash in most situations that didn't have the benefit of broad daylight. Even in broad daylight, the images would still be quite grainy at larger sizes, and there was a good chance of bright background colors bleeding around the edges of darker foreground objects. So, in addition to not handling dark scenes very well, it also had trouble with bright ones. Unfortunately, it's a struggle to see the preview/playback screen when outdoors. I got frustrated with it fairly quickly, though some of the deficiencies can be fixed in post-processing, and many images look just fine if you display them at 1/4 resolution (1024x768).

I liked the fairly small size, as it fits nicely into a shirt pocket. It's also easy to retrieve photos from the camera, since it simply shows up as a USB hard drive if you have it in the correct mode. Unfortunately, the battery life seemed fairly short for a camera of this size. I used it with a 128 MB xD card, and was able to put right around 100 full-size photos on it. Unfortunately, it seemed to suck batteries dry pretty quickly, so 100 photos on a single charge is about as far as I'd want to go.

Decent set of cheap earbuds.......2005-02-24

These headphones do the job. I've used them with an iPod and Clie PDA and they are a fine, no-frills set of phones.

A few notes:
They have the asymetrical cord design where one bud has a shorter cord than the other so the main cord doesn't hang down the middle but off to the side. In this case it's the left side, though R/L really doesn't matter with headphones IMO.

The "volume control" is just a slider with limited range. But it works enough to take the sound from loud to able-to-hear-someone-talking.

Comes with a case; cable just barely fits all the way in but once you get the hang of it, it's fine.

I got them because they were cheap (sub 12). They work fine.

Two Years of Excellent Pix, then it will break.......2000-11-29

I have bought two of these. The first lasted exactly two years, then stopped working. I bought another one, because the pictures it takes under almost all circumstances are fantastic. It worked for exactly two years, then ....broke! Must be planned obsolescence. Anyway, I am now shopping for a Minolta or Olympus, which hopefully will last longer. I would have given this product 5 stars for picture quality, but have deducted two because of its lack of durability.

great all conditions camera for backpackers.......2000-09-06

having taken this camera on several backpacking excursions, short and long, i have found it to be both reliable and easy to use in just about any situation. i have taken the 105WR through the silty waters of the Paria river, AZ, used it in downpours, fallen in quicksand with it strapped to my pack...and it still continues to produce incredibly clear photos. however, the camera is not always color accurate due to it's focal averaging system (hence the 4 instead of 5) but for a light, DURABLE point and shoot i couldn't ask for any better.

Nice control.......2007-05-08

This is a very nice control, it REALLY cools ur hands and i was surprised on how light it is. It worked for all the games i tried it on. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is cuz I dunno if it was just mine but it only lasted me 3 months. At first a fan blade broke off somehow i dont even know how that happened, and a week later the whole control just stopped working completely. I got the Logitech Cordless rumblepad 2 now and hasnt given me any problems yet. Read the reviews for the Logitech one.

Very Cool Controller.......2007-03-25

Awesome Controller... cools your hands... pain in the a** to calibrate, Other then that... Sweet

Solid and easy to set up however..........2006-11-03

No diagonal on the direction pad or the sticks. That's a big problem.

Never liked that "fan your hands" idea........2006-01-23

Wireless I guess has some reason to exist, and Turbo was always nice, but I never jumped on the "fan your hands" bandwagon. It just seemed like a dumb idea, gadgetizing the controller way too much. Though I do like the design of this pad. Very nice "cross" d-pad unlike the stock "4 slivers of hard plastic" the standard PS1&2 pads give you. Its got rubber grips, so it probably has more ruggedness than the common flimsy PC gamepad. But if you really want console ruggedness on your PC, just go get an adapter from Lik-Sang and Joy2Key software, then you can use any PS1 or 2 pad you've got lying in your closet as a PC device and you'll have the ability to map it to keyboard and mouse.

Great controller.......2006-01-07

Unlike all the other reviewers, I'm using this controller with a Mac. None of the packaging or instructions say it supports Macs, but the Nyko website offers a Mac driver that works perfectly well with OS 10.4.3. I mapped the controller to keyboard functions so I get universal support in all my games... and I can even use one of the analog sticks to manipulate my cursor from a distance (great for using it as a remote to watch DVDs on the computer, especially with the long cord). I should note that both the Windows and Mac drivers were updated early in 2005, so some of the older complaints by reviewers here may be solved with a driver update.

The usefullness of the fan is arguable, but I like it because it works and I hate the feel of even the tiniest bit of perspiration. Besides, controllers get passed around and no one's going to wipe them down, despite the inevitable hand sweat. However, the fan on low makes more noise than my Powerbook's fans going full-steam, and it wafts up some plasticky scents from within the controller (not foul, but I'd rather not smell my controller). But I'd deal with the minor faults for sweatless gameplay.

As for use and comfort, the controller is very comfortable in my hands, and I have ridiculously small hands (I've seen 10-year-old boys with hands the same size as or bigger than mine). I can get at all of the controls just fine, though it takes a bit more work to get the analog sticks to respond quickly with short thumbs. For the RPGs, racing games, and occasional 2D fighting game I play, these controllers are great.

The controller feels very sturdy (despite being laden with holes), though some of the buttons on mine are very wobbly (might be due to it being a refurbished controller). Still, it works perfectly fine and I'd recommend it (though not for $25; get a wireless controller if you're going to pay retail).

Sony - 'The One and Only' .......2005-08-04

I've been a fan of Sony monitors since my first Sony 19" behemoth many years ago and the Sony SDM-S73 17" LCD Display-grey is up to Sony's repuation. The install on my Dell 8300 was out-of-the-box and the screen image is absolutely beautiful. The screen menu and other adjustments are easy to access, clear and simple to use.

Excellent Value for the Money!.......2005-01-29

The Sony SDM-S73 is a very good monitor for the price. I purchased a lower cost 17" LCD and was very disappointed as its display was not clear and had 2 dead pixels. It went directly to eBay; I purchased this monitor as a replacement for use with my Mac iBook.

When I connected the Sony, my first impression was dismay and a feeling of de ja vu. Was this another bad product? Silver items in the Mac OS X aqua interface (Safari and the mail client in particular) were tinted an ugly shade of pink!!! UGH! This product was almost returned!

Fortunately, I ran the display color calibration and was able to correct all problems. The default Sony SDM-73 profile appears to be off-- at least on my iBook with the version of Mac OS 10.3 that I am running. Run the display color calibration tool in "expert" mode and this is a good monitor for use with Macs. (It may take 2-3 attempts to get it exactly right, but the result is well worth the effort.)

A note to those epecting perfection-- quality is not as good as Apple's LCD cinema displays. Do not expect the same clarity and quality as Apple's higher end cinema displays (but given the price differential, this is to be expected). Apple doesn't offer 17" LCD displays at present...I love the Sony!

I don't see how it can get any better than this!.......2004-11-28

I always do a lot of research before I buy and I agonized over which LCD monitor to purchase for two weeks. Resolution and warranty were two important factors for me along with screen size, cost and the simplicity of plug and play. This monitor gives me all of those and more. I opted for free shipping and was shocked and amazed when it showed up at my door in two days! It was double boxed and secure in its packaging. As with all my new electronics, I read through all the set up instructions before proceeding. (You can never go wrong with that step). Hooked it up in a matter of minutes, held my breath and fired up the computer. It was perfection from the first moment. NO DEAD PIXELS. Since it replaced a 17" CRT, I was instantly mesmerized by its enormous screen size and brightness. This is a whole new ballgame and it brings computer usage to a new level. Since I use my computer for work, I'm looking at my monitor for ten to twelve hours a day and this is oh so easy on the eyes. If you find the native resolution of 1280 x 1024 too small to read comfortably, just change your font size. It's easy to see why Sony is one of the top players in the LCD monitor field and why they can give you a three-year warranty on parts AND labor. I know that makes me feel very comfortable. Initially I thought that just maybe I should have purchased a 15" and saved a few bucks but let me tell you - - if you work with spreadsheets you will find a 17" screen heaven on earth. The fonts are crisp and sharp. I did find the screen a little too bright for my eyes but it is ultra simple to adjust with an on screen menu that is very easy to use. I like the fact that it has low power consumption and I can adjust the screen to any angle I want. Frankly, I don't see how it could possibly get any better. I have no negatives to share and I'm 110% pleased with this purchase. This is definitely a top-shelf product and I highly recommend it to everyone.
