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.
