What owners like
Fujifilm FinePix 1500 works best when you want simple snapshots, direct flash, and the relaxed character people look for in older digital compacts rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its 1/2.2-inch CCD and Fujinon; fixed lens; f=6.6mm; 38mm equiv. are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
