  • Fuji repaired it, now for a comparison

    You may remember my Fuji F401Z went all psychedelic on me and went back to Fuji for repair. They wanted £100 (I refused) and this prompted me to ask about dye-sub printers to go with Easyshare cameras.

    I got the Kodak CX7530, and paired it with their EasyShare Printer Dock Plus. I have to say I have been very pleased with the 6"x4" printouts.

    Whilst wondering what I could do with a dead F401 I browsed and came across a note on Fuji's Singaporean web site saying my symptoms were due to a known fault and the camera should be repaired f.oc., and they were even offering a refund to those who had already paid. As you can imagine I got straight back on to Fuji UK who said 'Oh, I don't know why we wouldn't have picked that up...'

    Anyway, this morning I got the camera back again, repaired foc So I now own two fully functioning compact digital cameras.

    Which is which?:

    Remember the Fuji cost £350 over 2 years ago and the Kodak cost £153 a few weeks ago.

    edit: both pictures taken on max res/quality (not that the Kodak has a quality setting) and fully automatic.

    Pic A is the older camera?
    Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

        What, couldn't you tell by looking? It is interesting to see the different approcahes the two cameras took to the same shot just a few seconds apart.

        Now if only I could get the quality of the Kodak in the size of the Fuji, I'd be a very happy man

          Get a Sony

          I don't like Sony as a company, and I have always looked down on their cameras as "gadgets", not picture taking devices, but recently my sister visited and brought along a Sony 5mp 3x zoom cam (in beautiful red). I am stunned by its picture quality, ease of use, Autofocus, looks...

            Hey, I've already got two digital cameras at home, and an A2 in my drawer at work...

            Anyways, I'm pleased with the quality of the Kodak. The sharing options are a nicety, and you can use it as a portable photo album without using up your memory card. They've clearly thought about how people use their cameras.
