This is an inexpensive digital camera, point-and-shoot, that uses a xD picture card as storage medium. I had lost my original Fuji Fine Pix A340 and wanted a replacement because this camera is lightweight, compact and takes decent pictures. A big plus is the viewfinder that can be used in lieu of the LCD screen which is unusable in bright sunlight, as with most digital point-and-shoot cameras. Transfer of picture files to personal computer is very easy using any xD picture USB stick. Instruction manual is useful and is still available on-line
This was purchased as a replacement for a dropped and broken camera of the same type. The best feature of this camera is the built in viewfinder which follows the telescopic function and lets the camera function like a miniature SLR camera. The view screen is very small but with a good view finder who would want to use any view screen as they all have problems with reflections and ambient light which makes them point and shoot only! At 4.0 MB the quality is excellent until prints larger than 8x10 are desired. If a copy of the original CD and a blank memory card prior to the newer M + or H series of XD cards is available, the cameras software can be upgraded to accept these newer cards which have much faster writing speed than the earlier cards. The increased memory of the new card may be useful for some users but I prefer to download and work with a small quantity of images at a time. All in all these are excellent cameras and are one of the last pocket digital cameras to offer a real viewfinder as that requires a thicker body and most now may as well be phones without communication ability.Read full review
This is a great camera. I've liked Fuji cameras since I've had one in the film version. The A340 has a clamshell lens cover design that is rugged and great for travel. Fuji shares the XD card storage design with Olympus cameras, so there might be compatibility issues now that everything is going the SD card way. If you can still find this camera in good condition, it is a spectacular value for the money.
good image quality, easy to use, good value.
