None so far for me I have None Lens - only average quality Short battery life, few advanced features. Lens operation, firmware, shape. Slow between pictures not many really, does what it should at this price well Like all digital cameras you have to wait between shots need to buy more memory, rechargable batteries, battery charger and adapter, (all for about $100) Delay in taking the picture after the shutter release is pressed. Slippery Case, Poor Lens Cover Design,slow uploads Screen is a bit dark, but not a real problem for me..

Small LCD screen, short battery life no optical zoom I wish it had a burst mode like the olympus d-340-r to allow for fast action and recording of sporting events. I can learn to live without it especially since the quality of the printed pictures is so much better than the Olympus. Smart media card storage Getting over switching from film to disk Poor quality and eats batteries Want to take pic's all the time battery life, smartmedia card is way too small Fuji using an un-essential 5V AC adapter, available only from them! Sounds fishy... Small memory card and poor zoom mode Slow download time & somewhat degredation in photos in poorly lit rooms no lens cover None Strictly JPEG file format poor picture quality No optical zoom. SM card too small. See above :) slow transfer time Slow onboard camera - computer transfer, picture shown in LCD screen prior to shot is a bit brighter than the final image, no lense cover Useless bundled software, no DC cord included, zoom is kinda weird, not feature laden Costly power adapter! Need extra tool for fast image transfer bad zoom Eats Batteries Sometimes light spots on photos Smartmedia storage, LCD drains batteries quickly, very little zoom. poor picture quality, questionable quality control Fuzzy pictures dial seems flimsy...

N60 body, ISO 320, no spot meter, Menus and operation are not intuitive. price As any flexible camera, that is with many controls and posibilities, NOT for newcomers, not for point and shooters. Instruction manual fairly good, Nikon has used video on halide cameras to help learn many controls; may be Fuji should do same. I didn't find any yet. F60 body, ISO 320 is the lowest rating some bleeding at high res A storage and power hog. It can get expensive fast. Sucks battery power...Ni-MH rechargables are essential. Storage expensive unless you use IBM Microdrive. 3.3m effective pixels, high price, missing some useful features The S602 is a real power hog Too slow for sports, zoom not that hot, no protective filter Nothing I can think of Could use focus assist light for dark focusing Finding one with all the extras at the lower price Power hog, micro size and fumbility Limited to 3.1 MP Power hug, low-light focusing leaves some to be desired, no firmware upgrades But try something as simple as attaching a protective UV Filter. Can take some time to learn all the features. A little bulky, uses batteries quickly, takes several seconds to turn on/off NONE Eats batteries like candy No zoom during movie mode; many CF cards not compatible with movie mode No auto-focus assist lamp, fixed (non-moveable) LCD screen 1. Careful reading of documentation a MUST , 2. Will Fuji build a star in follow-up? Poor low-light focusing ability, power hungry Slow or difficult low light focusing, Manual focus lag, No PC Socket? Camera is a bit heavy. Flimsy lens cap. Price was a bit steep, and only comes with a 16mb card.

A little noisy...
No walk-up faxing Questions about sturdiness sometimes there is an error message not covered in manual or on web site The size is a little bulky, doesnt come with a USB cable. Bad scans, flaky, cheap plastic box/hinges, cant clean underside glass.
