Editorial Review:Product Description:Clean sleek lines mark this 2.0 megapixel model out as an exceptional mid-range model. The 3X optical zoom lens delivers results that are sharp and lifelike whilst the programmed auto exposure mode makes great photos a cinch. The FinePix A203 also features the ability to record QVGA (320 x 240 pixel) movie clips of up to 20 seconds duration each, which can be combined into movie footage using the included VideoImpression software. The FinePix A203 is an ideal solution for anyone wanting a very compact and simple-to-use camera that delivers outstanding results.
Amazon.com Product Description:For the novice digital photographer, the Fuji FinePix A203 offers a 2.1-megapixel resolution with flexible functions in a trim, slim design--just over 5 ounces with batteries. It's also one of the first digital cameras to utilize the tiny XD memory card.
Optics and Resolution Featuring a CCD sensor with 2 million effective pixels, the FinePix A203 delivers a wide range of detail and color (with images up to 1,600 x 1,200 pixels) and prints up to 8 by 10 inches. The FinePix A203 features a fast f2.8 Fujinon lens with a 3x optical zoom and a 2.5x digital zoom for a 7.5x total zoom. Its lens focal length is equivalent to 38-114mm on a 35mm camera.
Storage and Transfer The FinePix A203 is one of the first digital cameras to be compatible with the new XD memory card. Comparable in size to a penny and weighing less than 1/10th of an ounce, the new XD memory card is not only currently the smallest image-storage medium, but it also uses less power for better battery performance and has faster data transfer rates than other memory cards. The included 16 MB XD card will store approximately 25 images at fine mode and 39 images at normal mode.
To transfer images to your computer, simply attach the included USB cable between your PC and your camera--your computer should automatically recognize the camera and let you move the pictures to your hard drive.
Movie Mode In movie mode, the FinePix A203 produces digital videos (with no sound) in QVGA (320 x 240) format for movies approximately 60 seconds in length at 10 frames per second. The limited resolution of your movies guarantees that this feature won't replace your camcorder, but it's perfect for when you just want to capture a quick movie and e-mail it to a friend or relative.
More Features - 1.5-inch LCD monitor
- White balance: auto, plus 6 selectable positions in manual mode
- Flash modes: auto, red-eye reduction, forced flash, suppressed flash, and slow synchro
- Sensitivity: ISO 100 equivalent
- Shutter speed: 1/2 to 1/2,000 second
Power The FinePix A203 is powered by two AA batteries (alkalines are included). We recommend getting a set or two of rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries and a charger. A digital camera will kill a set of alkaline batteries extremely quickly, especially if you're using the camera's LCD display, so they aren't recommended except in a pinch.
Size At 3.8 by 2.5 by 1.4 inches and 5.1 ounces (without battery), the FinePix A303 is an easily pocketable point-and-shoot camera.
Contents This package includes the FinePix A203 digital camera, 16 MB XD memory card, two AA alkaline batteries, USB cable, hand strap, and CD-ROM with software and USB drivers for Windows and Mac.

Great digi camera
Yes, there are better digital cameras out there but for the price (I paid $100 for it 2 years ago!) and the quality of pictures, which is surprisingly good, and because it IS tiny (I often carry it with me everywhere), I have to say that I really love this Fuji camera. Check out my pictures of my recent trip to Mexico. I had three cameras, two film cameras (including the amazing Olympus IS-50 ZLR) and the A203, and the latter's images, though a bit soft, held up pretty well against the photos from my 35mm cameras.

Good reliable camera
This is a great camera, but the only problem is that its out dated. There are better, faster, and more stylish camera's out there now. But from when i bought it, till now, it has given me no problems.

There is no market for this camera.
I bought this camera and regret it since returning it will cost a huge restocking cost (i didn't buy it at amazon). For the same price as this A203...you can find the 3mpix version the A303. So why does Fuji even make this A203? I'm not sure. A good price for this camera would be (One hundred ninety nine dollars).
As for the camera itself, its picture quality is impressive...but the most annoying characteristic is its around 4-second delay after taking each picture. That means you cannot take pictures in rapid succession. Aside from that, it's controls are very easy to use, battery-life is excellent, and its compact size make it nice camera...but do yourself a favor and buy the A303. Might as well get 3mpix for the same price as 2mpix.
Another thing about this camera is that it is one of the few that is Made in Japan. So there is no cheap Chinese or Mexican labor involved in manufacturing this camera.
