The macro setting on this camera allows users to capture images of items only 4 inches away from the lens. In addition, AVI movies can be captured at a rate of 10 frames per second.The FinePix A330 is compatible with the optional Fujifilm Picture Cradle, which allows easy optional NH-10 battery recharging, as well as streamlined image downloads and video playback when connected to a television set.The FinePix A330 offers a 3.3 second start-up time, and an increased efficiency in frame-to-frame shooting.

Amazon.com Product Description

Speed is mostly what sets the A330 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 A330 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 3.2-megapixel CCD sensor, the A330 can create images up to 2272 x 1704 pixels, which is enough information to create photo-quality prints up to 11 by 15 inches. The camera features a 3x Fujinon zoom lens. Also, the camera has a 1.6x digital zoom feature, but only when shooting in 2MP mode. To get those close-up shots full of detail, the A330'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; up to four minutes at lower resolutions. 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.

More Features

Flash mode: Auto, Red-eye Reduction, Forced Flash, Suppressed Flash, Slow Synchro, Red-eye Reduction + Slow Synchro
1.5-inch TFT display screen
TTL center-point fixed autofocus

Ten-second self-timer
Six-language menu interface
Standard tripod socket
Sliding lens cover

Storage and Transfer
Images and video are stored on xD memory cards (16MB included). Files can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB connectivity, which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows 98/Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software. This camera can transfer images at a faster USB 2.0 rate to computers installed with a USB 2.0 card.

Printing
This camera is compatible with the PictBridge direct-printing standard. That means that it can connect and print directly to a number of printers by different manufacturers without additional software or even a computer. Learn more about PictBridge.

Power and Size
The camera is powered by two AA-size batteries (alkaline included, rechargeable NiMH recommended). It measures 4.09 by 2.42 by 1.23 inches and weighs 5.1 ounces without batteries and memory card.

Best 1st Digital Camera I will have.......2007-05-28

I am writing this review on my 3 year old FujiFilm FinePix A330 because I will soon be ordering another FujiFilm (probably a S700) and I wanted to pay due respect to my trusty 1st digital camera I owned.

Believe it or not, the A330 consistently takes professional quality outdoor photos for which I have always been grateful for because that is what I use my camera for. I take it out in the middle of nowhere and have taken clear, crisp photos. It is hard to imagine a 3MP digital camera being able to take great pics consistently in this age of 10 MP cameras.

The 3x Optical zoom was perfect for close-up flower shots or far away mountain shots. The stability on this camera was excellent considering it is a entry-level camera where many of comparable price will blur and distort.

This camera had just enough features on it to take great pics, but was not overwhelming for me as a novice digicam owner. I liked the fact that I could turn the camera on, point, zoom, and shoot.

To sum it up, I love this camera and will keep it as a back up. It has turned me from a novice to a photographer taking award-winning photographs in 3 years time and I cannot wait to get my hands on my next FujiFilm with twice as many megapixels and 10x optical zoom in the S700!

My first non-disposable camera........2007-02-16

I received this camera about 3 years ago as a Christmas present. It was the first camera I had unless you count maybe 2 or 3 disposables. So, obviously I feared I would have a lot to learn about taking good pictures but this was not the case. This camera is incredibly easy to use for anyone and includes an extensively detailed instruction manual that should clear up anything (it also explains some basic image taking tips that are very helpful). I like things simple so I leave the camera on Auto about 95% of the time and it does an amazing job. I don't know anything about white balance or EVs and frankly I don't care because I get the pictures I want. I can't vouch for the ease of use of the included software however because I simply plug it into my Mac and drag and drop the images because I don't like "messing up" my pictures with all the editing. I don't believe in changing things in my pictures (except possibly cropping) because I think it's "cheating" to enhance images after they've been taken (I won't go into further detail about this because I don't want to start arguements).
This is a very basic point-and-shoot camera (a camera for everyday use by the average person). Here is a breakdown of the pros and cons.
Pros
+takes great pictures if you know nothing about cameras (other than, obviously pushing the button)
+takes great pictures in various light settings
+the macro mode (close-up) is amazing and you can get incredibly close to your subject
+incredibly easy to use and yields great results comparable to "better" cameras (better cameras include newer cameras, or cameras with more megapixels)
+great prints are made from the pictures (although I don't make many prints)
+there is a zoom feature
+there is a video feature
+has a viewfinder (not digital which is another +) that is very accurate
+the LCD is very sharp
+the lens is covered completely so it can't get damaged, if the camera is off (the front part that says "Finepix" slides over the lens which retracts into the camera)
+uses AA batteries
+I've had no problems at all with any part of this camera at any time
Cons
-takes a long time to start up if you need to snap a shot quickly
-night shots are blurry if you don't use a tripod
-the LCD is small
-the video feature lacks audio to go along with it (I don't really use this much though)
-battery life could be better I suppose but I manage to get about 150-200 shots per charge ( I use rechargeable batteries)
-the memory card is an xD memory card (which translates to nothing more than a memory card that's a little pricey, but you can still manage to find good deals on the cards)
-the zoom doesn't get you that much closer to your subject which is fine for most users but I personally would have liked a little more zoom
-only has 3.2 MP because it's somewhat old which means that you can't make large prints (larger than 8x10)
The pros outweigh the cons.
Bottom Line: The only reason you shouldn't have this camera if you're at all interested in basic everyday photoshooting is because it's a little outdated and if it had 1 more megapixel then there would be no reason to not have it.
I have submitted a couple images that I have taken so you can see the beautiful results this camera produces. Remember that when looking at my images THIS IS MY FIRST CAMERA!
If you have any questions about this camera feel free to e-mail me sonicm88@hotmail.com
I hope this review, in conjunction with my images that were submitted, help you make the right decision about buying your camera.
Just as a note of interest: When I upgraded to a newer camera I switched to a Kodak Z-650 (or 700, I don't remember which) and had terrible image and transferring problems. I returned the camera and bought myself a Fuji E900 which I love now. Fuji has the best cameras on the market in my opinion.

Well it takes pictures..........2006-12-30

If you're looking for a camera that will take decent pictures for perhaps a small hobby or for around the house, then this camera's great for you. However the hassel that comes with it really isn't worth it:

Positive:
1.) Zooming: You can zoom in. (Nothing too special, we've seen this before.)
2.) Digital pictures: It does take some decent pictures that yes, you can get a good digital outcome from.
3.) LCD screen: There is an LCD screen so you can view what's going on instead of through the little lens.

Negative:
1.) Zoom isn't all that it's cracked up to be: Yes, so you can zoom in and take great close-up pictures, however; once you take the picture it takes around five seconds where you have to wait until you take the next picture. Realistically if you're in the moment and you want to capture the moment, those few seconds waste your picture time.
2.) Life is cut short on batteries: Battery life is NOT that good. If you use your LCD screen, then it takes up so much of the battery life that there really isn't that long of a time to use it.
3.) Not hard to use but not easy either: For as long as I've owned this camera (around two years), I still cannot figure out or remember which buttons adjust the picture quality. I always end up leaving mine on AUTO so the buttons really are useless!
4.) Video: You can film small video clips but there isn't any audio and they aren't as easy to put into your computer.
5.) Battery life(2): Not only does the battery go out after a some-what short time, but the less amount of battery you have the LONGER it takes for the pictures to be taken. I found myself waiting many seconds after each picture while losing many important moments that I wanted to take in.
6.) Size really matters: This camera's isn't huge or anything but it is a bit bulky.

Summary: With today's technology and this camera's price, it really is not worth buying when you can get much better for around the same price. You can get a camera half this one's height, length, and width and get the zoom AND get the special screen while STILL getting great digital pictures. Unless you're doing this as a small hobby and have batteries in your pocket, I don't recommend this product.

Decent camera for the money.......2006-11-27

This is a decent, cheap camera that's getting cheaper -- I think I paid about $150 for it, and I see Amazon has it for under $100 now. It takes good pictures indoors and out, although the flash has a harsh quality that makes indoor portraits unattractive. For outdoor fill, the flash works great. Movie mode works well, but without sound, is kind of useless. The controls are all very easy to use, battery life is good, and the sliding lens cover is a good feature. The camera is lightweight and easy to carry along, but is a bit too bulky for a pants pocket. The case is a combination of plastic and metal (aluminum I think) that feels a bit flimsy but has held up OK in the two years I've had mine.

Excellent everyday camera.......2006-07-12

I purchased mine over a year ago and really love it! The lens stays protected when not in use, thanks to the sliding cover. It's lightweight and small enough to easily fit into my purse. The controls are easy to use (much easier than the controls of the previous Fuji camera I owned.) The quality of the pictures it takes is superb for "only" 3.1 megapixels. Colors are true (especially skin tones), focus is always excellent, details are superb and lifelike. Besides regular family photos, I also use this camera for selling small items on Ebay and, again, the quality is excellent. When the time comes for me to replace this camera, it will only be in order to have a movie-shoot function. Otherwise, this has been the best camera I've ever owned!
