Fujifilm FinePix J150W

This is a good small point and shoot camera for the price. It is easy to use, has a very clear menu, and a very large LCD display. If you are looking for a 5X zoom with simple menus and an extra big display, this is a great deal. The downside with this camera is that the picture quality is not as good as more expensive cameras, and it does not do well in low light situations. The flash has an effective range of 9.8 feet. Beyond that range the picture will have poor focus or lots of digital noise. It says it can do 1600 and 3200 ISO, but the quality goes down in those situations. The manual says that even in 10 MB Fine mode (highest resolution) they don't recommend enlarging beyond 8 x 12 prints (which was the limitation of my last 3MP Olympus camera). It is nice and compact and easy to use. You will be happy with it as a snapshot camera, but you will want to spend more if you are a serious photographer. I have rated this a 5 because I think you get what you pay for. Even with its limitations, it is a great camera for the price.

Just back from cruise. used it to shoot everyday. I set the camera to the settings I wanted. It performed well for a small camera. small enough to put in pants or shirt pocket. Just love it and worth the price.

Of all the cameras I've owned in this price range, this has been my favorite. High zoom and resolution, lots of advanced features, compact enough for even a shirt pocket, and all for under $200. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable point and shoot.

No real image stablization, lots of noise in iso 100-200 normal modes, just not close to a TZ5 or even a A-40 in overall operation.

Great camera. Only negative is the internal memory that comes with the camera. You must buy a flash memory card. Otherwise you can take only a handful of pictures or one little movie before filling up the memory that comes with it
