Fuji FinePix E510

My Mom pointed this out to me.. my birthday is on Tuesday and she said we are going to go look at it..

Does anyone have this camera or knows someone who has it?

The only things detering me is the smoothness of the pictures it takes and the poor indoor quality of indoor pictures.

Apparently it has great photo quality, it is equivalent to a 28mm wide angle camera...

What I like about it is how it is great with outdoor and macro shots.. and it blurs out the background on portrait mode!!

Any comments?

It's the one I have - other then the goofy thing it did there around Christmas I love it.

Do you see the deters I mentioned a lot in your photos?

I really don't understand the 'smoothness of the pics' thing
and I think its fine for indoor pics.

Smoothness is like.. it blends things together.. that the images aren't very sharp and crisp.

I don't think that has much to do with the camera. It's more in the hands of the photographer.

Here is a great review for the Fuji FinePix E510. I read on there that "soft" and blurry pictures are quite common with this camera.

Good luck on your camera hunt!

*EDIT*

I just noticed that the pictures that you compared are from the site I posted. I thought it was a really helpful review.

My camera is a Fuji FinePix A303, and I am VERY happy with the quality of the pics. The only bad thing is that the camera is so "slow"

I have the Fuji Fine Pix A210 and also find it very slow. :P

My first digi cam was a Fuji 2600 Zoom. I now have a Fuji S5000.

I've never had any problems or gripes about their abilities to take indoor pictures. The only things I didn't like about the 2600Z was that (1)it didn't record sound to go with the moves and, (2)as others have said, it was slow to take pictures.

Though now "old" in the world of technology, I am quite pleased with my S5000. I've entered (and placed in) photography/art contests with this camera. I realize it's not the one you're asking about, but... well, I'm very pro-Fuji. lol

Have fun camera shopping!

~~Edit:~~
The only time my camera does NOT take crisp photos is when the batteries are low.

my E510 is actually rather quick on the trigger. I can take rapid sequence. And the pic pops almost instantly on the viewer. Ask Aaron - wolflady's hubby - he was quite surprised whenever he took pics with it.
My other one A345 is a bit slower at taking pics and showing them on the viewer.

Oh, that's the one I have now. hehe

I have been having problems with my camera shutting off with new fully charged batteries - I emailed the company and I sent my camera out yesterday. If they can't fix it I told them if I wasn't satisfied with the outcome I was going to buy a sony or a canon.
We shall see.
