Fuji MX 2900

I have inherited a Fuji MX 2900 that was in a box of Jumble. I have used the camera and found it very good to use. But when I read the manual I tried to get the adaptor ring and the telephoto lens but can't find a Scottish or UK stockist. Any of you guys know of one?

The Fuji MX 2900 was my first digicam and I've only just updated, after about 3 years, to a Fuji S7000. Being new to digital imaging, I always thought my inability to get high resolution images on the screen of my PC was due to a fault, not realising they were in a different format(.tif), which the instruction book didn't make clear. I've only just managed to find a suitable program to read them (ACDSee), as Photoshop wouldn't cut it. I've been very pleased with the results, and now uploading is so quick using a card reader. Macro images are excellent. It's been a darned good camera. Still on original battery. It's now for sale!

This was my first digital camera. Feature for feature, it is one of the best when looking back. The cost is a bit more but worth every penny I spent. The hot shoe was the biggest selling point for me. While most of the unit in the same category do not have the hot shoe option, this has and it help a lot on a really big area to take picture with. Overall, I give it a 9+ due to the battery issue, otherwise, I'll give it a 10... I'm upgrading and will definitely look into the s602 as one of my selections...

what a great introduction to digital photography, pleasing results from SLR type control and feel, both zoom and macro performance is strong, although it can struggle in low light if you haven't got steady hands! but i've taken over 2600 shots so far and just sold mine on to buy a 6900. This camera although a couple of years old now, is a great buy if you can pick them up second hand, highly recommended.

This is Fuji's only traditional looking digicam, and is the main competition for the Nikon Coolpix 800 and Olympus' 2020. What has it got over those two cams? Marginally higher resolution, for a start (2.3 megapixel, giving pics at 1800x1200). The design is good, fitting the hand well, although it is nowhere near as compact as the Olympus or as comfortable to use as the Nikon. Indeed, it is quite a bit bigger than both of these cameras, but it delivers superb, sharp images, with natural colours. The compression also seems to be cleaner than on other Fuji models, as there is very little nlooming around high contrast edges.

It could do to be packaged with a 16Mb Smartmedia card rather than an 8Mb. But that really is a minor gripe. The control setup, while not quite as intuitive as the Nikon, is a world easier than the Olympus 2020 and its arcane symbol menu, and really only takes a few minutes to understand enough to really begin playing around with manual settings.

All in all, an excellent camera, but a little more expensive than the competition.

I have had this camera for 1 month now and i'm satisfied about the performance and quality of the camera.

Suggestion is to buy an extra battery, large mem-card (32Mb) and a USB card-reader.
