Fuji FinePix A345 Zoom

Fuji FinePix A345 ZoomReview of the Fuji FinePix A345 Zoom

Both this camera and the Fuji FinePix A350 Zoom record movies at 15 frames per second which is higher than the fps rate on the Fuji FinePix A340 Zoom and will therefore result in smoother movies.

Both the Fuji A345 and the Fuji A350 have 3x optical zoom and a 1.7" LCD monitor which are respectable for a basic point and shoot camera. The only real difference between them is the number of pixels: 4.1 for the A345 and 5.2 for the A350.

Shooting modes for the Fuji FinePix A345 Zoom include: Auto, pre-programmed scene position, manual, macro and movie with monaural sound.

The Exposure modes are Portrait, Landscape, Sports and Night modes. White balance offers a choice of Automatic and Manual (Fine, Shade, Fluorescent light (Daylight), Fluorescent light (Warm White), Fluorescent light (Cool White), Incandescent light).

Fuji FinePix A345 Zoom reviews

Reviewed by Renee from United States on 28th Dec 2006
This camera is a really great camera because it's got clear photos and many ways to choose how you want to take your picture. It's got sound for videos which is great because many cams like this small 1 don't have that! Only problem is it is VERY slippery and hard to hold onto sometimes. I suggest some type of case or use the wrist band constantly! Just recently i dropped my a345 fuji camera and it wont even turn on so thats a problem but other than that it worked well when it still worked=[

This camera was affordable, easy to store, fun to shoot with, created nice shots with vibrant color (with flash disabled, and worked well with my PC. I dropped it from six inches high onto a carpeted floor and it erased and unformatted the memory card. I changed the card and now the zoom lens is stuck closed. Repair seems an impossibility and a huge waste of my time. I think these cameras are just glorified disposables. But, what are you going to do if you can only spend $350.00 on a point and shoot? Eat it and don't drop it!!

This camera was okay, it was a good starting camera. Although i am in the middle of finding a new camera, it is a good, basic camera that is dependable. Great for the technically challenged!!

As you can see, I have given this camera 4 stars, but not 5 because there are some things that could be improved. Firstly, the time it takes from pressing the shutter button to the photo being actually taken seems to me too long. I was photographing birds in my garden a few days ago, and this space of time allowed them the opportunity to move, spoiling the photo. Secondly, the darkness of the screen display was dissapointing because it is difficult to see in the screen what you will be taking until you have taken it and a brief showing of your resulting photo is displayed for you (and by then, of course, it is too late). Finally the options are a little diffficult to understand without rreading the manual thoroughly (which, I'm afraid to admit, I don't like doing.) I am 15 years old, and unfortunately expect to be able to work any piece of digital equiptment with relative ease. Thankyou for reading my humble review. Moosemonger.
