Summary:
Given that the "Super CCD" sensor is still used by Fuji alone, one would think it just inst that good. Well, it is, and it isnt. Fuji no longer calls the camera a " 6 MP interpolated" camera, but a 3.3 MP with a 6 million pixel photo file, which is much closer to the truth. You get more information in that file than any other camera outside of a 5 MP camera will give you. It really does " Stuff" the photo file full of every bit of information possible, a credit to Fuji's processing power in-camera. This rivals the other makers " all in one" cameras costing some $400 more. The Zoom is a very credible 35-210, and a fast f 2.8 at the wide end, with great clarity and rendition of colors. with the capability of putting good quality camera filters in front of the lens, you have a quality all in one set up that doesnt require any major fiddling with once out in the field. Just keep shooting ! !

Strengths:
nice zoom range, 35-210 equivalent, fast f 2.8 lens at wide end, adequate flash, but with a hot shoe for external flash a big plus. 5 shot burst capability in burst mode, 4 file choices with 4 selections for quality each ! ! Photos that really do look better than any 3-4 MP camera out there, and I had a Casio 3.3 MP 3000 EX that has a genuine Canon lens, and it outshines that camera that I was very happy with. Takes Smart Media cards that are VERY affordable, probably the best bargain out there for camera media. Cheap rechargeable lithium ion batteries that cost the same as ONE camera battery for a regular 35mm camera, that takes TWO of them. Having a car charger is a big plus, charge up while heading to another location is a breeze. Ability to save in tiff mode is a big plus for getting the most info possible in your photo.

Weaknesses:
128MB card is biggest you can use. Not a serious draw back, since Smart Media cards are usually 15-25% CHEAPER than most other cards. Batteries last a reasonable time, but always carry a spare.

Casio 3.3 MP 3000 EX, very nice camera, quality Canon lens, but eats batteries. marvelous pictures, close to the Fuji, but not quite, and no tiff mode available like the Fuji

Price Paid:  $800.00 from eBay.

Summary:
After reading all the good reviews of this camera, I finally decide to buy it. I had a Nikon995 few month back, but it is nothing compare with the 6900. I am much more satisfied with 6900 for it''s quality, design, and the super-user-friendly interface. The buttons are at the right place for me to access, the hot-shoe for ext-flash, the ablity to add lenses. My friend even regret he didn''t get a 6900 but a Sony s80..

Strengths:
buttons are at the right place, grid has a perfect size for my palm, quality is sharp and clear. ext-flash. ability to add lense/filters.

Weaknesses:
the door for the A/C and USB are somewhat felt easy to break. but if you take good care of it then not to worry. slow focus and lens made hand shakes movement very noticeable.

Price Paid:  $580.00 from ebay

Summary:
I was forced into buying a digital by two clients so looked for a quality item at the right price, I did not anticipate keeping it after doing the two jobs, how wrong I was! Want to buy a ''blad?

Strengths:
Super lens, but it is a Fuji and their lenses are always the tops. Easy to master and terrific image quality.

Weaknesses:
That door, the silly mistake of threading the outer lens body for filters instead of the retracting lens body.

Similar Products Used:
none always used medium format in the past including Fuji 645 and 670''s

Customer Service:
never had to use it for the medium format and hope never to with the 6900

Price Paid:  $699.00 from Local Store: www.ber

Summary:
I am not a good photographer, so I needed to buy a camera that would do all the work. I picked this one becasue of the SLR style, high zoom, and adaptability to add extra lenses. I enjoy it very much, but I struggle with getting the lighting correct. That is most likely my own inexperience though. I took it on a cross country trip just days after purchase and it takes amazing landscape shots. Sunsets are tough to capture, but like I said it is my own inexperience. The price was not too bad either as any camera in this range had no where near the amount of extras built in. I recommend this for anyone who wants to take near professional quality shoots but is inexperienced in photography. People with experience would definitely be able to take advntage of all it offers from aperture settings to the white balance, ISO and shutter speeds. I am waiting on my Fuji NX-500 printer so I can share these pics with others. I never thought my pictures could look so good.

Strengths:
Simple to use; comfortable to use. It requires two hands to operate smoothly but I enjoy that. Zoom is amazing. I take pics mostly on the #m Norm setting and they look great on my computer or hooked up to my 27 in TV. Impresses everyone who sees any shoots. Constantly finding new feautures

Weaknesses:
Trobule getting lighting correct. The shutter is amazingly quick, but on those fast settings the pictures come out dark. When trying to take pics in the dark, the flash is phenominal(!) but the autofocus sometimes does not work and the manual focus is not easy to set either. Video is not the clearest, no sound. It doesn''t matter much to me though because I wanted a STILL PICTURE camera and sound would take up more memory preventing more shoots to be taken. Also, the low clarity adds character; I compare it to the opening credits of "The Wonder Years."

Similar Products Used:
I tried only a few other cameras and completed most my research online. Fuji 6800->zoom not enough; was a point and shoot Minolta Dimax7->Had a few nice components but picture did not seem as clear;

Customer Service:
Have had no need. THis is my second fuji camera. Had an APS(Endevor 3500ix Zoom) and the company has been reliable to me.

Price Paid:  $650.00 from B&H

Summary:
I do not think of any better camera for the money. Great colors and shades. 6x optical zoom can not be beat.Excellent detail and clarity of the lens. Superb picture quality. When printed up to A4 size with good inkjet printer the pictures are equal to 35mm prints. Works great with optional 1x5 zoom converter lens. Great calrity thrugh out entire focal lenght of the lens.6mp setting produces larger images, but the quality is superb.

Strengths:
All above plus the ability to use the camera with wide range of Cokin filters. Works great with external Vivitar flashes(not dedicated)

Weaknesses:
Should be shipped with atleast 64MB memory card not 16.Hard to fing good external flash that is dedicated for this camera.
