CNET Asia Review
Good
The good: Stylish design; infrared transmission for mobile printing; continuous shooting which was not available on the Z1; snappy performance; maximum ISO 1,600 setting. View score
The bad: Connectivity ports are all on the accompanying docking cradle; no optical image stabilization; limited manual controls and scene modes; high ISO levels allows for dim-light shooting but images noisy above ISO 800.
The bottom line: While the FinePix Z2 offers what a basic snapshot photographer would need in his daily shooting needs, the unit is crippled without its docking cradle which houses all the necessary but essential connectivity options.

The best ultracompact, point and shoot digital
May 11, 2006Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Slim, stylish, light weight, fast shutter speed, great pictures
Cons: I do not mind carrying the cradle to recharge it when I travel
Opinion:
A really great ultra compact, point and shoot camera. This is the third digital camera I bought and I love it. I bought an additional 1MB memory card with it. I always carry the camera with me, in my pocket or shirt pocket. It is a slim, stylish camera (I have the black version)and light weight. Fast shutter speed, ISO up to 1600. The "N" natural light feature allows to take good pictures without flash in lower light conditions. Five scenes modes is plenty, if you have more, this not a point and shoot any more. Nice 2.5" LCD to review the pictures taken.The 5.1 million pixels gives very good prints for pictures that are cropped. The 3 optical zoom is all internal and is very useful when you do not want to be too close to the subject.Continuous shooting is a good feature. The movie mode gives additional flexibility. Very easy to use.
Great pics but not for beginners
May 3, 2006Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: small, takes sharp, crisp pics with flash at right lighting
Cons: very sensitive to blurr images due to camera shake when not using flash, lousy warranty scheme
Opinion:
the function "N" (natural light) is very useful, produces v good pics, but ONLY if you don't shake, easily causing blurred images when not using flash, which is v unsatisfying. sometimes flash doesn't work well in normal light situations e.g. the image is all blackened. what i didn't like the most was - the cradle tt came along with the digicam, which is also the battery charger was spoilt after only 2 mths of use, i sent it in for repair under warranty - but the service ctr said this is not covered! ?!? how can they not cover the proprietary battery charger? and wanted to charge me S$42 for a new charger/cradle! absurd!
overall, v unhappy and unsatisfied customer due to faulty battery charger which is, worse still, not under the warranty scheme. good sharp images - only if taken with flash, very sensitive to camera shake when taking without flash
