The FinePix 2400 Zoom provides a 2.1 megapixel CCD and 3X
optical zoom lens with Macro capability. Primarily for the point &
shoot user, consumers can choose to let the camera make all of the
shooting decisions, or assume limited control in the areas of white
balance, exposure compensation, and flash output. With its 1,600 x
1,200-pixel, 24-bit file output, the FinePix 2400 Zoom provides the
resolution you need for sharp prints as large as 8x10 inches, a zoom lens
to help frame your shots, and enough exposure and color control to handle
typical consumer-level shooting situations.

I have had the 2400 for about a month now, and I must say I am very happy with it. I am a hobby photographer with a fairly expensive and extensive 35mm SLR gear which I still use a lot, but for the family-type snaps and when I really want to travel light, the 2400 is all I take. It takes really good pictures in most situations, and it is dead easy to handle. It is also small enough that you really do take it with you most anywhere. The lens seem very sharp and the exposure is right on most of the time. It does eat batteries, but that is not a problem if you get rechargeable ones. It is completeley manual with very limited ways for you to affect it manually. Shutter lag and focus lag is a bit slow, but something you get with this kind of camera. There is no way that I know of to mount a filter in front of the lens, but that is something most people would not miss. In bright outdoors light and in dark situations it is hard to impossible to see what is on the LCD, but then you always have the viewfinder. The problem with the viewfinder is that it doesn't show everything that will be on the photo you take (only 80% or so?). Buy a bag to keep the 2400 in (I got a LowePro bag to hang on my belt). Get some rechargeable AA batteries (I have 12). Get some memory (buy 64mb or 128mb cards). And as with any camera, using a tripod will increase the likelihood of you getting a sharp picture. Get a small tabletop tripod that you carry with you - it will give you better pictures. I cannot really say anything about the quality of prints from the 2400 since I hardly ever print any of my snaps, but judging from the few prints I've made, I'd say you can print up to 8x10 from most frames (if you shoot at 1600x1200 with little compression) with good quality.

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.
