What owners like
Fujifilm FinePix JX500 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 1/2.3-inch CCD and 26 - 130mm equivalent 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.
What to compare
Compare it with Fujifilm FinePix JZ100, Fujifilm FinePix JV250, Fujifilm FinePix F660EXR, Fujifilm FinePix JZ200 to decide whether you want this exact body, a cheaper nearby compact, or a slightly more capable alternative.
