 Opinions a year later November 25, 2008
I bought this camera at a grocery store a year ago as a substitute for the Olympus they had run out of and it had higher megapixels. So I used it last Xmas and the pictures in doors and out were okay but not remarkable.
Then I went to an early season Yankees game this year (they won 1-0 vs Tampa Bay) and my 35mm had a suddenly dead battery, so this was all I had. Luckily I had sprung for a bigger memory card, even though it's xd instead of sd so it can't be used i9n many other cameras.
And the pictures came out okay of monument park and the field, although I wish it had more than 3x zoom
Plus, my computer has a slot for xd cards, so no harm done and Picasa seems to make everything look better than Vista.
All that being said, it's a year later and this is a back up at best, the price is now down so if it's a $70 camera you want, this may be your baby cause I have no real complaints. BUT if you want to go to about $100 get a Nikon L18, same size, pixels seem to matter between 5 to 8, colors and zoom work well.
Final disclaimer: my reviews are always personal impressions and not based on techical knowledge, you can get that anywhere. And I'm an easy marker for the stars.
And with $$$$$$$$$$$$$ for new pitching, the Yankees will win the World Series again in 2009- Remember baseball fans go to see their team play, Yankees fans go to see their team WIN!!!!!
 A waste of hard earned dollars March 9, 2008
This is my second Fuji Digital Camera. The first one failed with a "ZOOM ERROR" after only a few months of average use. The camera was useless. I returned it to the place of purchase, and of course the model is no longer in production. After an argument with the store manager, they allowed me to trade up to the newer model, charging only the difference.
Well After about a year of average use, I got the exact same "ZOOM ERROR" message on the newer model. I do not want to pay $250 every two years for a camera, so this will be my last FUJI purchase. When I spend money, I expect reliability, and FUJI misses the mark!
 Own it, LOVE IT!!!!! January 24, 2008
This is an upgrade to the last Fuji & still have & after using Fuji its no wonder I & Others Love them!!.. They are easy to use & work so well taking excellent pictures!! !
 Not so great color January 8, 2008
I used this several times, took about 50 pictures with camera, I was disappointed.
Compare to my old Fugi A201(2 mega pixel), this A500 does not have good color; it may have better resoltion but the color on photo are not as good as A202.
When I checked the spec on those 2 camera side by side, A201 has RGB filter on CCD while A500 ihas just high resolution CCD.
Anyway, A500 is disappointment.
Terrible Customer Service!!! December 23, 2007

The camera is fine as long as nothing goes wrong. Fuji has the worst customer service I have ever delt with. They pass you from one person to another and do everything they can not to help you. Be prepared to deal with the worst customer service in the business. I really hope this helps you.
