Enlarge an image or trim it to alter the composition. When you examine an image taken with the MX-2900 Zoom, you'll notice how the skin tones look natural, the green leaves say it's springtime, and the sky is a luminous blue. One source of this accuracy is the advanced spectral characteristics of the MX-2900 Zoom's RGB primary-color filter. Along with Auto White Balance, it ensures that the colors are faithful and vibrant.

Customer Rating: - Takes a lickin & keeps on clickin
This camera was knocked out of my son's hand by a ceiling fan onto our basement floor, fell out of my shirt pocket onto a concrete sidewalk outside the National Cathedral in DC, and has otherwise been bumped, dropped, and generally mistreated for going on two years, and it still takes pictures -- that with the right printer, paper, and software -- I can blow up all the way to 11X14 inches with true photo quality. There isn't enough good I can say about this camera. Of course, it's no longer a current model, but at the prices available today -- and assuming you use a card reader of some kind to download pictures from the smart media cards -- it's still a great camera for the money.

Customer Rating: - mx2900 digital camera
I purchased this camera almost two years ago, and I am well satisfied with it. I use a hp1000 printer with it and only hp premium plus glossy or matte paper. The pictures are magnificent, I have printed some of my pictures for comparison on much more expensive printers none so far have been better than mine.

The only thing I have against it,is that it didn't come with a leather carrying case. If one is made specially for the mx2900 I am not aware of it. If there is one made how do I get one?

I can not find a bad thing to say about this camera! If I was to look for an area for improvement I think it would have to be: Better ability to take wide angle pictures. Other than that I love it.

Customer Rating: - Excellent Hardware, less than excellent software
I love the camera. The zoom works easily and the optical viewfinder means I never have the battery run down during a day of shooting. But...Fuji uses an odd TIFF file system when taking umcompressed photos and regular software won't read the file. You have to use the Fuji software and convert the file to JPEG. Their software is not user-friendly. Fortunately, I rarely take TIFF images. The JPEG images at the 1 megabyte level are fine for anything but portrait work. Excellent construciton and excellent color rendition. I've used the camera for a year and will soon upgrade to a 5 megapixel unit, keeping this as a second camera. One really irritating thing: The "close-up" setting does not go back to default when the camera is turned off, which can ruin a lot of pictures if you're not careful to turn the "close-up" off when done taking close-ups.

With that exception, the controls are easy to operate and the camera has served me well.
