Amazon.com Product Description

The Fujifilm FinePix A600 6.3MP Digital Camera joins the Fujifilm FinePix A400 and A500 in Fujifilm's entry-level digicam line-up. The A600, and the rest of the A-series cameras, are ideal for the first-time digital buyer or any photographer who craves an inexpensive point-and-shoot digital camera, but don't be fooled by the simplicity.

The large, 2.4-inch LCD monitor makes it a cinch to frame the perfect shot.

Just because this camera won't drain your pocketbook, doesn't mean you'll have to settle for poor image quality.

The FinePix A600 combines 6.3-megapixel resolution with an award-winning, innovative Super CCD sensor. The sensor features an octagonal pixel design that allows you to capture highlights and shadow detail in every picture you take (the Super CCD sensor is the recipient of the IEEE's Walter Kosonocky Award for Outstanding Achievement in Image Sensor Technology). Using the human eye as a model and mimicking the way it functions, the sensor enhances vertical and horizontal resolution, improves color reproduction, widens dynamic range, and increases signal-to-noise ratios and light sensitivities. All of these factors play important roles in the production of higher-quality digital pictures.

The A600 features a 3.0x optical zoom Fujinon lens with a focal range equivalent to 36-108mm on a 35mm camera. Fujinon, Fujifilm sister company, produces these high-quality optics that are used by broadcasters, astronomers, scientists, the military and others to bring their subjects closer with crisp, clear image quality. The A600 comes equipped with a large, 2.4-inch, high-resolution (112,000 pixel) LCD monitor housed in the attractive metallic-finish body. The bright, sharp LCD features an anti-glare coating that improves LCD viewing in direct light. Compose your photos with ease in all kinds of light conditions with the assistance of the A600's monitor. Plus, its generous size adds to the pleasure of sharing photo playback with friends and family.

For best results, choose a shooting mode that optimizes the A600's exposure for a given situation. Macro shooting lets you zoom in on small details. The Sport mode captures fast movement, and the 3:2 Format mode helps you frame your shots for the best results for prints.
Ever run out of digital storage just at the wrong moment? Not with the A600. With 12 MB of built-in storage you'll never have to miss that special shot. Think of it as your internal insurance policy for those great, not-to-be missed photo opportunities. Amazingly easy to operate, all you have to do is switch-on the FinePix A600, and you'll be ready to shoot. Controls have been arranged for one-handed operation, eliminating the need to fumble with a bunch of ill-placed buttons or scroll wheels. The full range of functions includes the 3x optical zoom, a selection of convenient scene positions (portrait, landscape, sport, and night), enhanced macro mode, and slow synchro flash. You can even view your photos in 3:2 aspect to ensure that all the elements of your picture are included when you order prints.

Other camera features include a QVGA movie recording mode (10 fps) with monaural sound for capturing quick, digital video snippits; a video output for your TV monitor (NTSC/PAL) to display photographs on your television; a USB digital interface for PC connectivity; PictBrdige compatibility; and an xD-Picture card compatible slot. The FinePix A600 is powered by two AA batteries.

The worst customer service!!!.......2007-12-24

The camera is fine as long as nothing goes wrong. Fuji has the worst customer service I have ever delt with. They pass you from one person to another and do everything they can not to help you. Be prepared to deal with the worst customer service in the business. I really hope this helps you.

Good camera. Got it for my daughter. No viewfinder just the digital screen and lens. 6.3 megapixel with 3X optical zoom and pretty good resolution and color for under $100 refurbished. I rarely like to buy refurbished goods but I've been pleasantly surprised at how well the cameras held up. My daughter is looking forward to using the camera for the holidays coming up. She took some nice pictures on halloween.

I love this Camera!!! .......2007-06-05

I can't say enough good things about this camera!!! I had a Fujifilm finepix 2650, but on the 28th of May, the last day of my vacation I dropped it taking what was going to be the last picture before we headed home, after that I couldn't get the lens to focus, so the hunt was on for a new one, I knew I wanted a Fuji because I really liked my 2650, but I couldn't find that model; except one's that were refurbished and I didn't want to go that route. I looked at this camera and it had everything I was looking for and more. I'm very happy with my purchase and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one or maybe two, especially from this seller, excellent service and fast delivery. It takes beautiful pictures, it's very easy to navigate, and I love the fact that there's sound on the video clips, that's something the 2650 did not have. I haven't been able to put this thing down. Thank you Amazon and buyers_store excellent service as always. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone who is in the market for a new camera.

Love this Camera!.......2007-05-12

I have a 35 mm Nikon and love the quality of the pics. So, I was skeptical to purchase a digital camera and be dissapointed by the quality of the pictures compared to the 35mm.

I was not dissappointed. This camera is easy to throw in the glove compartment/jacket pocket, etc. The quality of the pictures is great. Dowload to the software, is fast and easy (I use various softwares) and print at home.

I have enlarged pictures to a 8x10 and had no pixelated pics.

The colors are sharp and the Super ccd has a lot to do with it, the mega pixels does not determine the quality of the picture.

I use rechargeable batteries and always carry a charged spare. It does eat up the batteries quickly, but with rechargeables around, it is not a problem.

I shoot a lot of pictures and this has been extremely easy to use and download. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the battery issue, but I could give it 5 because even and 8 yr old could use it.

The learning curve is intuitive is you don't want to use the manual.
Firmware upgrade found easily on Fuji's website.

Decent.......2007-03-29

I own a Canon SLR camera and it has been my carry everwhere camera for many years. It's big and bulky! I finally broke down and bought this compact easy-to-carry camera for taking snapshots after researching different brands/models. I can honestly say that I am not disappointed in the least. My SLR will take better quality pictures overall, but it is tiresome to carry around and set up. The picture quality of the finepix camera is GREAT! Even enlargements look crisp and clear... I've enlarged some of mine to 16x20. The one downside, it burns batteries extremely fast. I would invest in some good rechargeable ones if purchasing!

Product Description

Let's cut right to the chase. Our Shorty-Plus 2x barlow is the highest-quality, most versatile barlow you'll ever own. Here's why. It features an air-spaced, three-element apochromatic optical design of 27mm clear aperture, for superior image sharpness and color correction. And, the Shorty-Plus boasts fully multi-coated optics for even greater light transmission. It's small size- just 2-3/4" long- makes it more convenient to use than longer barlows, especially in telescopes equipped with a diagonal, such as refractors and Schmidt-Cassegrains. Its anodized aluminum housing accepts 1.25" eyepieces or diagonal and has a thumbscrew lock. The Shorty-Plus doubles the magnifying power of any eyepiece, providing better eye relief and edge sharpness than you'd get using a shorter-focal-length eyepiece by itself to achieve the same power. Weighs 5 oz. Made in Japan. One-year limited warranty.

Gets the job done.......2007-01-06

As with other Orion products the Shorty Plus 2x 3-Element Barlow is a quality item. As to whether it is worth the extra money for the 3-Element over the regular barlow, save yourself the cash and get the regular 2x Barlow. I would recommend a "shorty" barlow for most scopes as longer 2+x barlows can be difficult to focus.

Best 2X Barlow on the market!!!.......2004-02-10

This is the best 2X Barlow on the market for the price. What makes it better is it uses 3 lenses instead of the normal 2. I am using with with my Meade ETX-125 with UHTC coating. I would say it would work well with any 1.25" eyepiece telescope.
