The new E-series range of FinePix digital cameras starts with the E500 Zoom, an easy to use 4 million pixel camera featuring a newly designed Fujinon 3.2x optical zoom lens with a 28 - 90mm equivalent focal range. The 28mm setting fits far more into the picture than everyday digital cameras - no more chopped-off edges!The FinePix E500 Zoom features a wide range of exposure control, from fully auto to fully manual with all the combinations in between. An assortment of flash modes, white balance settings and macro mode add to an already impressive list of features. A 2.0-inch screen means that all of these settings can be viewed easily while framing and composing your images.The ergonomic grip and durable chassis of the FinePix E500 Zoom is designed with the photographer in mind who may find smaller 'lifestyle' cameras more difficult to handle. The E500 Zoom also adds PictBridge functionality - the industry standard for direct printing without the need for a PC or Mac.

I bought a fuji finepix E500 for my son a couple of years ago, when it was one of the Which Guide's 'best buys'. Then I got myself one when I saw how easy it was to use - so easy even I could use it.
Since then, I've learnt how to use more of then non-automatic features (like taking better zooms, adjusting light and quality and taking black and white photos). The quality of close-ups is brilliant, and it takes wonderful scenery shots too. I haven't been quite so impressed with facial shots, but they're not bad.
The video quality isn't great, but if you happen to be out and see something you want to capture its quite good enough.
If you looking for good pics, but not at professional level, then this is a pretty decent camera.
If you want to see the sort of quality it gives, take a look at my blog "Words that Flow" at http//wordsthatflow.blogspot.com

Not a bad camera, but when using the flash pictures don't come out as well as one would expect.

Great Camera Great Price
10 Dec 2004
I own a Fuji 3600 and it is an amazing camera and when I bought it, it cost about $350. The E500 by Fuji is a camera that is almost an equivalent to the 3600, but cost about half the price. The E500 offers 4megapixel quality, which is more than enough for any normal user. There are 9 different shooting modes, and then there is also a black and white option, and a chrome option. The quality of the LCD screen is the best I have seen on a digital camera, it is much better than the grainy crap that is offered on the HP digitals. The camera has a movie mode that includes sound and it takes an alright video (If you want a movie, buy a camcorder). An interesting thing about the E500 is how it stores pictures on the XD card it uses. I have some pictures already taking some space up on the card and when it tells how many shots are left with the different qualities, it says that there are 194 1mp pics available and 144 2mp pics available. The difference should be larger, but the quality of all the shots are great, no matter the quality setting. The camera also has a very good night mode that will get a ton of use. The pop up flash is a common feature on many of the digital cameras and it isn't a problem (unless you are too lazy to have your finger punch a button). The worst thing about the camera is the time between shots. It takes about 8-10 seconds after the flash of the first shot went off before you can take your second picture. The zoom on the camera is very good. The camera overall is great and I would recommend it for anyone. I bought mine at Niceelectronics.com for about $188 dollars (total including shipping and handling), much cheaper than the advertised Amazon price. And don't waste your time looking at Canon, because their cameras have a fault that is much too consistent for my taste. In many of their cameras the lens will no longer return to the camera and it will say error F18. Three of my colleagues have had the same issue at some point or another with the Canon cameras. Fuji and Nikon are the best way to go when looking for a reliable digital camera. This is a great camera.

the Wide Angle capabilities were a big selling point
8 May 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase
I was looking for a digital camera that had an equivilent lense to a 28mm. I was discouraged by so many nifty cameras that only went down to a 38mm equivilent. The difference here with that wide angle is phenominal. The biggest point I'd say is indoor, close up (not macro, but a party for example). Capturing a group of people at a close distance is much easier than having to take steps backwards up to fit every one into the photo.
A must have is the docking station. For one thing it includes a couple of rechargable batteries (the docking station is also the charging unit). A big plus for me was not having the hassle of finding the USB cable whenever I wanted to upload pictures to the computer. I find it very convenient. The docking station is not a significant expense, and you're getting an awesome camera at a really great price.
