Fuji FinePix A500 Digital Camera
If you are on the lookout for an affordable digital point-and-shoot camera you can check out this informed review of the Fuji FinePix A500 by Terry Sullivan on PC Mag. 'The A500 has a boxy feel, but it's light and easy to hold. As with many inexpensive digital cameras, it conveniently takes double-A batteries. It uses xD cards, which are slightly more expensive than SD memory cards. As you would expect with a cheap digital point-and-shoot, the A500 offers no true manual controls. t has a small, 1.8-inch LCD, which gets washed out in bright daylight and solarizes pretty easily when you look at it from an angle. Fortunately, Fuji has kept the small, glass viewfinder, so you have an alternative way compose your images when shooting in bright light. I found using the zooming switch, which is very thin and difficult to move, a bit annoying.'
