If price and basic image quality are your only concerns, the Fujifilm FinePix A500 might be right for you. At less than $200 list, and even lower for its "street" price, the A500 offers seemingly good bang for the buck with a solid 5.1-megapi...

Low price; easy operation.
No manual controls; sluggish operation; average image quality; no burst mode.
The appeal of the basic Fujifilm FinePix A500s tiny price tag is offset by its slim feature set and mediocre performance.

Any quibbles about the A500 have to read against the background of the price. And this camera is a lesson in what money buys in digital cameras. The fundamentals of the camera are good and it can take excellent photos but the difference between an entr...
The Fujifilm Finepix A500 is excellent value for money. It will produce prints to A4 size with plenty of detail and fidelity. The Fujifilm Finepix A400 is a 4 megapixel alternative that is so similar to the A500 that they share the one instruction manual.
