 CONS
 • Flimsy I/O port cover

Includes: FujiFilm FinePix 6900 Digital Camera, 16MB SmartMedia™ Card, NP-80 rechargeable battery, AC power adapter, Shoulder Strap, USB cable, Video cable, Lens cap, CD-Rom (USB Driver, FinePix Viewer, DP Editor, Adobe PhotoDeluxe HE 4.0 for Windows, Adobe ActiveShare for Windows).

  Utilizing Fujifilm's 3.3-megapixel SuperCCD, this heavy-hitting digicam captures clear, crisp images that explode with color. Aimed at photo enthusiasts, it's an excellent choice for indoor and outdoor portraiture and studio work, although it lacks the speed advanced shooters need to capture fast action.
  One of the top selling points of the 6900 Zoom is its completely manual capability. The camera's well-placed controls give it an easy learning curve, and the sharpness and brilliant color of its images are impressive. Although priced at the high end of its class, this FinePix model offers a combination of flexibility, excellent image quality, and comfortable handling that will ensure it won't be left on the shelf.

  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.
