I recently bought the DX-10 as a digital camera upgrademy previous one did not have the LCD preview display, which I found to be a little limiting. It also did not have macro capacity. A friend showed me a macro shot taken with a DX-10, and that sold me on the camera, so I purchased one. This is truly an excellent camera, and I can't help but differ with the reviewer's repeated recommendation that this is a good "first digital camera"making it sound as if the DX-10 will be relatively rapidly outgrown. Photography professionals are not going to be buying this camera to begin with; on a consumer level, I feel that this is not just a "first" camera to cut one's digital photography teeth on, but a camera that will more than suffice as long as technology will support it. I heartily agree with the problem regarding the lack of any lens cap or cover, though...

Well I have had one for just 3 days now and I have been very impressed so far. The macro mode is indeed very good as the previous reviewer said.My main gripe about the camera (and I suspect this is true for all digital cameras) is the disconcerting delay between pressing the button and the actual shutter release. Several times I have been fooled and not actually taken a shot. I now keep the camera to the eye and wait for the led go orange. It does make getting quick 'grab' shots quite difficult.Another slight problem I noticed today is when taking outdoor shots with lots of sky, the auto exposure tends towards underexposure. I can't see myself trolling through the menus to fiddle around with exposure compensation.A quick play with the image in Paint Shop Pro would probably give some life back to the shot I guess.I can also recommend using the Thumber freeware utility to read the EXIF information stord in the JPG (this gets lots when you TWAIN transfer - you need to read the files from the SM card directly.Cheapest UK price is 195 pounds which is pretty good I reckon. All in all, an excellent buy (and a step up from my previous DC20!)..

I have now had the camera two weeks and have been very pleased with the results. I originally tried a non Fuji card reader which caused me a great deal of hassle as it did not Daisy chainbetween my scanner and printer. I have gone back to the serial cable provided and although not fast it is quite useable.I obtained very quickly and efficiently a case and a power supply from Fuji, delivery very quick. I am more than pleased with the results as it has a great number of capabilities, try them out. I would suggest just getting the camera initially and using your own printer, see what this can do. I purchased an Epson 750, it has gone back as my HP820csi was producing nearly as good results.Do give it a try it's very good value...

I've had my DX-10 for the past 5 months now.

And it has never let me down once!I bought this camera on my business trip to.

Singapore and for the price I paid, it's.

Excellent.As to the detail review, I certainly agree that.

A lens cover would have been very nice. Also,.

A quicker way to access the 'flash mode' menu.

Would have been a big helper.However, even with these minor complaints, you.

Won't believe how good the pictures come out even.

With it's 850,000 pixel resolution spec. It's.

Almost on par to other mega-pixel digi-cameras.By the way, here's one tip for your DX-10 owners.Go down to your nearest camera store and get a.

Camera case with a shoulder strap and an extra.

Pouch on the outside. Put the camera in the case.

And put your extra rechargeable batteries and.

Extra SmartMedia memory cards in the pouch outside. You will never have to worry about.

Battery power nor space for saving pictures on.

The SmartMedia.Happy shooting!A digi-camera expert living in Korea...

Purchased a DX-10 from buy.com for $235 and a 8 mb smartmedia card for $16 a week ago. This is my first digi camera.Pros:1) compact size, can be put into a pocket easily. I weight this feature a lot when I compare different models;2) very good image quality among .8 mg pixel ones. The resolution of 1024 x 768 is perfect for my 17" monitor that is adjusted for the same resulution. Therefore pictures are shown at full screen, and no need to move vertical or horizontal bars during viewing;3) Lots of manual controls, easy user interface;4) LCD refresh rate is high. Image shown has no lag if the LCD is used as a view finder.

I purchased 8 NiMH batteries for $2.20/each so I always have a set ready for use.5) Free floppy disk adapter with a large capacity smartmedia card have added benefit of a big floppy disk that enable me to transfer large files between my home and office pcs easily;6) Viewing images through my big screen TV is very fun. Images are clear and vivid. (well, this is the benefit of any digi cameras).Cons:1) My biggest complains is the optical view finder. It is not accurate at all, especially for a person like me who wears eye glasses. In a lot of cases I have to use the LCD to compose the images, which is difficults in a low light condition or under the sun.2) 2 mb smartmedia card is a joke, unless you shots are at 640x480;3) The file transfer rate is about 5k/sec using the seriel connection;4) It looks like the image files cannot be uploaded to the camera.

Best Buy recently sells Olympus 340R for $299 with a free 8 mb card (16 mb total). It is also a very good buy if you don't care it's size and weight...

The Fuji DX-10 is indeed suitable as a 'first' camera as although the pictures are extremely good, they can't compete with the 2.3 brigade.That's why it would make an excellent 'second' camera, for emergencies or because of it's discreet size.Its flashgun is extremely good at fill-in for fairly close subjects, and it prints 7x5 in good quality...

I just received this camera today, bought it at Value America with $100 off, so it was 279 plus bonus 3 2MB cards (total of 8MB) and two cases. I think they accidentally included two cases, so I'm using the second one for my Fuji DL Super Mini Zoom. This is indeed a great little gem! For $179, wow I really had an excellent deal this time. I've taken about 30 shots so far, of people at the office, making goofy faces, flash on and off, close ups of flowers and outdoor city shots (buildings etc). Am very pleased with the performance. I think the DX-10 makes an excellent "first" digital camera for all interested in digital imaging...

This was a great digital camera for a first timer with digital capibilities. I have taken over 300 pictures with it in the last 5 months.I bought a lithium battery pack for it which has saved me alot in using AA batteries. The battery pack is like using 16 batteries and it can be recharged. I always carry 4 new batteries with me for emergicies. I also bought an ac adapter for downloading the pictures to the pc.Overall I would give this camera a 7 in a score 1-10...

I can only second all the good things read above, but since I've used this camera heavily for 5 months now ( taken 1600 pictures ), discovered several problems about it. Let's see:.

Picture Quality is suprisingly good on sunny outdoor shot, but gets annoyingly grainy on a low contrast picture in moderate lighting conditions. When I use flash, sometimes mysterious snowflake-like spots appearing on dark pictures. It has nothing to do with dust on the lens ( yeah, where's that lens cap ?), because I'm very keen on keeping it clean. If anyone has a good explanation on this fenomena...Color accuracy lacks of good, dark greens are more like blue, and I can't correct by white balance. By changing the saturation in Photoshop, I could make it somewhat better.The attachment for tripod is a tacky plastic, I wrecked it real quick, and cannot be replaced.To avoid scratching the LCD, stick a plastic foil on it. It's too late for mine...I should have gotten a free floppy adapter from Fuji ( sent a rebate coupon ), and after 6 months, I still haven't heard anything promising from it.

Despite all these problems, I can recommend to everyone out there ! Write me if you have comments about the topic...
