Fuji FinePix A350 Zoom

Review of the Fuji FinePix A350 Zoom

Both this camera and the Fuji FinePix A345 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.

Fuji FinePix A350 Zoom reviews

Reviewed by Renold from USA on 3rd Dec 2006
Worked well for 1-2 months. Then it started acting up. The view finder would stop coming out or would hang-up half way. Would shut off with the slightest tap or when I would set it down. The images slowly got worse and worse. i sent it to be fixed back at Sears where i bought it and 1 month later I got it back covered in scratches and still having the same problem it did when I sent it. They won't do anything about it anymore so we just need to get a new digital camera. Oh yeah and it goes through batteries worse than any other digital camera I have seen. I did have a few good qualities like it worked will when putting the pictures into the computer. I had good quality pictures for the first few months. So I give it 2 stars.

Pros: Great camera which produces vibrant images and good video. The sound clarity of the video is really good. Cons: Zoom lever doubles up as vertical scroll resulting in some confusion as it is not a standard in other cameras. Low quality image in indoor lights Quality of LCD and viewfinder lens are not upto the mark
