Exactly what I paid for, maybe more!

I bought this camera last night. I was in need of one after breaking my third Sony T-series in a row. I just wanted something that could take pictures of decent quality and could record video. I bought it at a military store so it came with a bundle including a memory card, reader and a soft case.
PROs
There's two main things that this camera surprised me on:
- The specs it has for such a small amount ($$$) is surprising. I'm used to paying greater amounts for less with Sony. I'm a big Sony fan. Or was...
- I'm not big on portability as a main sell point, I'll sacrifice space if it pays off with quality and with results. However, this tiny camera fits in the palm of my hand and weighs a very small amount. And was definitely a great addition to the already surprising specifications.
CONs
- Much like the other review that offered a 1 star I too had a problem with the shutter speed and flash delay. Something that is a small inconvenience and/or can be fixed if you go through the options of the camera instead of giving up on it. I changed the settings and it's good now. And by doing so I now know the inner menus of the camera a whole lot better.
- The battery sliding lid seems to be a little too loose for my taste. However, it might be my specific camera and not the model. Just a small incovenience.
OVERALL
Great camera that packs a punch for what you pay. As long as you work on it and try to make it work it will. Good buy!

I bought this camera for my wife for Christmas. She wanted a really small, light pocketable camera. Fuji designed a great small chic form factor, but apparently forgot that taking decent pictures was important to people who buy cameras. There were two main issues with this camera--shutter lag and blur.
The shutter lag was horrible, especially with the flash turned on. I know there is a red-eye reduction feature, but no way that I could figure out to turn it off. It was impossible to capture the image you wanted because it would take a picture a second after you push the button.
Almost every picture we took indoors was blurry. If the subject was not standing perfectly still through the horribly long lag, they would be blurry. There was a blur warning on the screen, but the manual did not give any way to correct it.
In short if you are looking for a small light camera, look somewhere else. I took this back and got her a Canon SD 780 IS Digital Elph, and she is much happier with it. It is just as small and can actually be used to take decent pictures in a wide variety of situations.
