The FinePix 4800 Zoom is one of the two consumer models designed by
sports car legend F.A.Porsche. It features a 2.4 megapixel Super CCD,
which is capable of interpolating files up to 4.3-million pixels (2,400 x
1,800 pixels), and a 3x optical zoom lens that provides good framing
flexibility and sharply focused images. All of Fuji's latest cameras show
really excellent color, thanks to some tweaks applied to the last
generation's color management routines.

I did a LOT of research before buying a digital camera and am not disappointed with the results. In this price range, nothing came close for me, especially with the picture quality. I have the cradle plugged into my computer all the time (I bet I shouldn't be there you go) which means when I bring the camera home, I have one button to push to get all the photos up on the screen ready to edit/save. I change one setting on the camera and it's a web-cam (excellent image quality once again). My biggest gripe is the memory - 16MB. 163 PC quality photos - If I wanted to take PC photos I could take stills from my camcorder. I want top quality, photo images and can only take 19 (39 if I take smaller images) which isn't a lot of use on holiday. I think for the price, they could throw in a bigger memory and a protective case.

I've been looking at digital cameras for a long time - and finally decided to purchase. Based on the reviews I read, the Fujifilm 4800 seemed like a real solid choice. The reviews were correct - it is a great camera. I'm very happy with the compact size, ease of use, quality photos, and speed between shots. I have noticed that in low- light, the LCD screen is virtually worthless - I think that's the case with most digital cameras. also, it's a little tricky to figure out how to get something to focus in Auto mode if the first try is not successful. I'm very happy with the purchase, however, I just have some learning to do.

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.
