Fuji digital cameras are quite popular with people who want a camera they can trust to work, and trust they will be able to work, without spending too much. Fuji is not as well represented across the digital camera spectrum. Other companies offer more entry-level models and professional models but Fuji does well in the mid-range and prosumer market.

Prosumers are those people who have more skill and demands than the average consumer but not the need to spend thousands of dollars. Cameras such as the SLR-like Finepix S5000 Z, S7000 Z, and S20 Pro offer plenty of imaging power for well under $1000. For the more demanding professional, they have the Fuji Finepix S3 Pro for $3000.

It seems that Fuji digital cameras only come in two sizes, 3Mp and 6Mp. They offer a wealth of 3Mp models from the modest point-and-shoots, through the flashier ultra compacts, to more fully featured prosumer models. Always look for the effective pixel counts of digital cameras rather than just pixel counts.

Fuji Digital Cameras Can Have Misleading Pixel Counts
Fuji digital cameras are not alone in padding their pixel counts. (Once one company does it, they all have to.) Sensors have different arrays and techniques for detecting light and color. Grey areas in pixel-counting allow some companies to claim up to double their cameras effective pixels. Some cameras that claim a 12Mp rating really only deserve a 6Mp rating.
