I'm using the Fuji Finepix 2600, 2MP 6xzoom.
3x optical and 2x digital (go figure)
Takes quite nice pictures for the price.
One can only assume the 2800 is a bit better.....
A couple of gripes about the 2600.
Fixed exposure time, can't change it.
Hence with the flash off i need to hold the camera very steady or else the pic is very blurry....

The macro is DAMN NICE. (8-10cm min distance away)
Check out the pics of Paul Rhees case in the case gallery, I took them with the 2600.
However, i must admit, the pics do get a bit grainy, but what can you expect for the price.
Whatever you do, don't get a damn kodak, just nasty cameras IMO.
@ least their ones under a $1000
If you can afford it, go for a Nikon.
*shrugs*
I hope that was of some help :)

Fuji are dumping smart media for whatever is replacing it - XD cards or something, keep that in mind. I have no idea what the benfits are, thats why Jesus invented Google I suppose.


My workmate has been boofing about it for weeks, he wants to buy the newer version of that camera, and it's 3.2mp with the newer format of card.

thank silverpriest and dustyslapper i'll check price again. becuz i'll go to singapore (duty free) in next month so if Nikon price not much higher than fuji. i'll get Nikon :D btw what model u suggest silver?

[SilverPriest]

Buggered if i know what model, lol.
The Nikons just feel and look a lot better than the Fujis, the quality of their macro pics is superb.
However, what model to go for i don't know
There is some place out there, steves camera reviews or something that has a ****LOAD of reviews on digicams.
I'd browse through there for reviews on ones in your price range, and he has sample pics too, straight from the camera ;)
Brilliant site.
Pit i can't remember the damn url, i've had to correct this post so many damn times, stupid laptop kb :mad:
And on a completely random unrelated note, the VooDoo5 5500 is about to be retired, after a few months of faithful service.

Irish-Whiskey's Nikon is nice. I think it's a coolpix 995. For pics using it go and have a look at his just got this by courier... (http://forums.overclockers.co.nz/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2799) thread. It has like a macro to 2cm.

I had a look through a camera shop in west city mall this arvo, i'd say the nikon coolpix 2000/2500 would be your best bet, they don't look that flash, but seem to have some very nice features, but, as always, try before you buy if you can :)

Depends on your budget.......
