I The FujiFinePix 1300 really is a great bang for your buck. It has great picture clarity, very easy to use, very quick to download pictures with usb connection, and the software that comes with it is a snap - if I can do it, anybody can do it! Highly recommend getting 2 sets of rechargable batteries. I like to keep my setting on fine and that seems to use up more juice, as does using the LCD monitor (hint: if you use the eyepiece to take the picture instead of turning on LCD monitor to take the picture with it uses less battery juice) I have been thouroughly satisfied with this camera so far (it's still new to me). Wish it came with a camera bag, .... If you are someone like me that always wants to take pictures but never remembered to bring the camera (didn't have a great camera to begin with) this is a great inexpensive investment. Takes up to 64mb smart media card and came with an 8mb sm card. I've seen the 64mb cards for as low as $19.99 (shop around). Recommend having a few of these too - The higher quality image you want the more juice it uses on memory cards. I didn't shop around much before I bought but have been telling everyone to get it. Remember it's a high end beginner level - great starter camera.

The Lowest Price is not always best !
 When you buy a digital camera, the basic package almost always includes
extras such as a battery charger, lens cap, batteries, flash memory card, and software.
One of the more disreputable practices a dealer can engage in is called unbundling. These
dealers remove items from the package that are normally included in the price and
price them separately.
When purchasing
a camera you have three components of the price to consider - the camera price, postage and
handling, and taxes. Many dealers lower the price to make the camera more attractive, then
increase the postage and handling to boost their profits.
Hesitate before
accepting extended warranties. Every knowledgeable consumer expert says it's better to
gamble. Most of a company's profit is in the sale of these warranties so they press, and
press hard. Your job is to resist, and resist hard. The only thing to keep in mind is that
digital cameras can be horribly expensive to repair. If you want peace of mind, you may
want the warranty, even though it's probably overpriced. The cost of a repair can
approach, or even exceed, the original purchase price.
When you buy a
camera from a reputable dealer, you expect to be able to return it if you aren't
satisfied. Some dealers try to discourage this by requiring a restocking fee for returned
merchandise. This is always explained as a way to recover their costs of checking the
merchandise and restoring the packaging you may have opened.
Many dealers is
truly a false, deceptive and a total crook. Bait and switch tactics used. Does not sell
new merchandise and will ship used or refurbished goods without notifying customer. They then
try to charge a restock fee on top of their exobitant shipping fees to make a profit where
they could not on their goods. A try case of buyer beware.
