Currently looking around for a decent digital camera, and the FinePix 6800 seems to fit the bill & have received good reviews.
However, anyone here either own one or used one? Is it worth the money or are there better alternatives at the price (c£540 with 64mB card)?
All views gratefully received.

Dont know why I thought it was a 6800 but never mind! might be worth looking into the 4700 finepix tho, dunno what they cost now, but they were 600 odd 6-8 months ago?!

Mr Blowdog has one. Probably because it says "porsche" on it 
Personally, I've got the 6900 which (flame suit on) uses the same CCD but has more control over features and a larger (6x) optical zoom.
Excellent bit of kit, providing you don't want full photographic control, or a 6x zoom in which case buy the 6900z. But the 6900z is bulkier.
Hie thee hither to Jessops, or another local specialist, and have a play. You shouldn't be disappointed in the quality!

After looking at various results from each I chose the Canon Powershot s40. I am replacing an old Fuji so was quite keen to get one again, as it has been great, but found the pictures had a lot less 'depth' and didnt quite have the same clarity as the Canon. The difference was very marginal though. In the end I also preferred compact flash rather than smartmedia as I have changed over since getting a Compaq Ipaq.

Try looking on www.pcindex.co.uk to get the best price. I've got a 4700zoom which is ace, although you can get camerashake if the light is bad (outdoors in winter). Got mine from Dabs.com

Avi, what's a "bargain" price?
If it's too cheap, be very wary.
But otherwise they are superb 5MP cameras with an excellent lens, and excellent quality. Feels a tad plasticky, but is really one of the best sub-£1000 cameras out there.

Nick, It is from a trusted supplier, I think it's about £700. Look's like the best option for me, and the Macro Functions are perfect for what i require.

Yep I've got one and it's ace. I got mine from unbeatable.co.uk for £529.99 but then bought the 64 meg card for £30. saw it even cheaper on Pricerunner.co.uk. Buy it, its an ace camera.

Thanks for the replies chaps.
Have now bought it - £530 incl additional 64mB card - & will be trying it out over the weekend. Will then probably spend many a frustrating hour failing to post the pictures onto this board
Actually noticed that PC World advertising (The Times 21.12) it for just under £500 with the standard 16mB card.
