Amazon.com Product Description

Fuji's MX-1200 digital camera provides all the picture-taking ability beginners need. The silvery body of the MX-1200 contains a 1.3-megapixel CCD (which provides a maximum resolution of 1,280 x 960 pixels) and a 1.6-inch color LCD monitor, as well as an optical viewfinder.

I've had problems.......2004-05-28

Besides the lag problem mentioned in another review, I've had an issue with the camera not staying on when switched. I miss about 80% of the shots I'm trying to take because I have to keep turning it back on, taking out the memory card and/or batteries and replacing them etc. Bad frame errors are haunting. Once it starts working, I can usually take many pictures in a row, but in the beginning it's horrible. This is all probably my fault for trying to snap a picture when the dial was turned to the viewing mode. But that shouldn't have harmed the electronics! One can't always remember to get the dial in the right position.

High bang/buck ratio in a small package.......2002-01-05

I have had my Fuji MX-1200 for 2 years now. I have taken it to Scotland, Hungary, Austria and Germany and have been totally amazed at how good a picture it provides in a small package for a small amount of money.

I am not a newcomer to photography. I have owned several 35 mm. SLR's of various brands. I still have a Canon that I can use if I want to, but I havent't taken it out of the case since I got the Fuji.

My recommendations are similar to those of other reviewers, with one exception. Forget about the USB reader. Get a "Flash Card" floppy disk adapter. It costs more, but it will download to any PC.

Naturally, you should purchase as many addtional smart cards as you can afford. They are getting cheaper now, so a couple of 32 meg cards would be in order. I carry a half dozen of them when I travel and download my pictures to my notebook computer every evening at the end of my day.

Nowadays, most of my pictures end up on the internet, so the Fuji was a step up for me rather than a step down. If you think you might want to blow a picture up, shoot Hi-res and do the work on the computer. It's easy. It's cheap! It's fun!

Inexpensive model that delivers the goods.......2001-12-12

This camera is inexpensive (and a bit outdated at this point) but still manages to take great pictures. Sure, you could spend a lot more for a camera that is a lot more high-tech, but if you just want a camera to learn on and experiment with or just take fun family snaps, then this camera would be great.

My husband actually won a photo contest with a 5x7 photo taken on this camera (printed on an HP printer).

Pros: low cost, easy to use, easy to figure out how to take good photos, takes good enough quality photos to replace your film camera (if you're ready for that... I'm not quite there).

Cons: memory card pretty small if you want to take high quality pics (We got a 64MB memory card--available on costco.com--so we could take many pictures at high quality settings: about 100 pictures on the highest quality settings.), slow upload to your computer using serial cable (we got a SmartMedia drive that hooks up to our USB port and is lightning quick), lower picture quality capability than many (more expensive) cameras on the market.

These days, most digital cameras really aren't that horrible , and this camera is lightyears better than the ($) cameras that were out 4 years ago. This camera would be great for someone who wants a camera for casual use, or for pictures for their website, or even regular pictures that won't be blown up much larger than 5x7.

We take pictures with abandon now, not worrying about how much film we have left, not worrying if a shot is going to be a throw-away (you can delete it right on the camera, anyway), and we have gotten some truly beautiful and priceless shots just using this camera.

If you're not a professional photographer, why spend thousands when you can get this camera at a great price?

Great deal!!.......2001-04-26

... I use it for all sorts of photos and have had great success with it. Only complaint is that the viewfinder and the lense don't line up on close shots and the fixed lense cover is easily scratched because it has no protection. Mine is scratched now and I need to send it for repairs. Thats how I ended up here....anyway....happy shooting!

Owned it for 6 month now - good for the money, minor issues.......2001-03-24

Don't even bother unless you plan to get an upgrade SM card (4mb is worthless) and rechargable batteries. Highly recommend a USB card reader - even using TWAIN/Photoshop 5.5 it takes FOREVER to download 1280 x 820 res pictures (the camera's middle setting). All my complaints are minor - this is a great camera overall. The mode select knob can stop in between modes, but look like it's pointing to a mode. This makes you think something is wrong until you move the switch the 1mm it's off so you are not between modes. Not a show stopper, just takes getting used to. I guess all camers mow batteries, but I bought 8 NiMh rechargables and that seems to work. Get a cord to plug in when you're downloading pix - will save batteries, especially if you are using the serial cable. The optical viewfinder is way off for anything closer than about 10 feet, so I almost always use the LCD - another battery killer. Camera won't auto shut off when in PC mode, I've drained lots of batteries when forgetting to switch the camera off after retrieving photos. These are really nit-pick items, most cameras would have same or similar. Overall I'm happy with this camera, it's well made and user friendly. For the money and 1.3 Megpixel is plenty for general use. Safe bet you will feel your money was well spent.

Keys Unresponsive, would not respond to keystrokes..........2004-05-13

Received this keyboard today and was very dissapointed. I can't believe IBM actually allowed Micro Innovations to put their logo on this item. When typing, the keystrokes either were not recognized or would display seconds later. Receiver "data" light blinks showing that are you pressing keys, however, the keystrokes are not sent to the computer.

Returning item now as I type on a good/working LOGITECH wireless RF keyboard.

All keyboards should be like this........2003-11-21

I bought this keyboard 11/03 to replace my standard desktop keyboard and I love it. I was initially attracted to it's compact size. It eliminates the virtually useless number pad - As a result, the keys are centered directly in front of you for better posture and it frees up desk space. I'm able to freely switch back-and-forth between the keyboard joystick mouse or my MicroSoft USB wireless mouse without changing any settings (nice to have the option for the few times that I lean back and put the keyboard on my lap). Unlike other non-number pad keyboards, this one maintains the full-size of the key pad - I've used others that cram the keys too close together. It's compact and it doesn't go crazy with programmable keys like others I've seen. Plus the programmable keys are small unlike others I've seen that are cartoonishly large and make the keyboard too big. It's wireless ability is strong. Quality level is high and it's quite sturdy. I had no installation glitches with my Windows 2000. Some have said the wireless connector should be USB instead of PS/2, but frankly it made zero difference for me. Also, I have not experienced any of the problems that I read in some other reviews for this keyboard. I strongly recommend this keyboard.

Quick Review.......2003-04-24

Couldn't get key's to work. Mouse slow.
Returned.

Not up to par.......2003-04-12

Bought this keyboard after having previous experience with an RF Wireles Keyboard + Mouse from memorex. Was interested in a combo unit. The range of this unit is barely 8ft with many "blind" spots where the signal drops out. Very unlike the memorex unit. It's possible I just got a defective unit. But an online review from another person listed simliar problems. Avoid. Hope someone can find something better.

Not the best alternative.......2003-04-10

This keyboard, also branded by IBM, is a very nice, compact size that fits very well in the lap. I did not suffer any dropped characters except when the batteries were dying. The downside of this keyboard is the mouse. It is unlike any I have used on laptops -- neither the eraser type or the touchpad variety. It's more like a mini joystick that has a very slow response speed and not very good precision. I ended up getting a seperate wireless mouse to supplement the keyboard mouse. Nice keyboard, lousy mouse.
