4 out of 5 stars   Great for Travel
By Mountain girl on January 25, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix JX420 Black 16 Megapixels, 5X Optical Zoom Digital Camera with HD Video (FJFPJX420)
Pros: Easy To Use, Good Image Quality, Great Zoom, Small / Compact
Cons:
Other Comments: I haven't used it enough to know a lot, but like the picture quality, size and zoom. I bought this for a trip to Costa Rica where a small, inexpensive camera that takes great shots and videos is all we need. This should fit the bill perfectly.

Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix JX420 Black 16 Megapixels, 5X Optical Zoom Digital Camera with HD Video (FJFPJX420)

Other Comments: We bought this camera through a really great Groupon deal for our son who is eleven years old. We wanted to buy him a real camera to replace the really cheap one we'd bought before, but not pay a fortune due to his age. I kind of worried about what we might be getting, since it was SUCH a good deal. Since it was a brand new product, not one that had been proven faulty, we took the risk and bought it. That said, our son has thoroughly enjoyed having it. It takes really good pictures and video. There doesn't seem to be a downside to the purchase so far. The battery seemed to wear out fairly quickly, but I think it was because he was on it tweaking, testing and experimenting with it non-stop. I know he and some friends have been making little video productions, so those may explain the apparent shortness of battery life I saw. I think the life is more average now that he is not using it every other minute. It experiences the same issues almost all compact cameras do, like the occasional mis-focused photo, the user-pushing-the-button wiggle and the "subject moving just as you push the button" blur. The camera features all seem to work as expected. His very first picture recognized that Mom blinked. We did have driver problems trying to connect it to a Windows XP x86 system (I got tired of trying and gave up finally, not sure what the problem is.), but it works great on Windows 7 x64. I had to dock the review just bit for that. We put a Transcend 8GB Class 6 SD card in it which seems to work great. All said, it is a great little camera and seems to work every bit as well as any Canon or Nikon in the same class that I've used or seen take pictures. I almost considered giving him our old Canon 10 megapixel instead and keeping it for ourselves, but his excitement on Christmas morning was well worth it. I would definitely recommend this camera.

3 out of 5 stars   Needs Improvement
By Wanda on January 09, 2012
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix JX420 Black 16 Megapixels, 5X Optical Zoom Digital Camera with HD Video (FJFPJX420)
Pros: Compact, Many options, Some pics turn out great
Cons: Very short battery life, Some pics turn out badly, Must check each picture
Other Comments: Use this for [@] pics/selling; general home pics -- high resolution, but you really have to study your settings to get the resolution -- also have to check your pictures carefully to see if you are getting the quality you want; some pics are very fuzzy or discolored, even on automatic setting The most frustrating feature is the extremely short battery life...if you have it fully charged and use it just a little, the battery needs recharging just about every day. Best to have an extra charged battery on hand to insert when this happens. Fuji needs to make a much better battery for this model.

Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix JX420 Black 16 Megapixels, 5X Optical Zoom Digital Camera with HD Video (FJFPJX420)
Pros: Pros Price Size
Cons: Cons Picture Quality
Other Comments: I was excited to get this camera. It's a new model and compared it on the Fuji website to some of the other models and was pleased with the features. Unfortunately, almost all of the picture come out blurry. I have read similar reviews and believe this is an obvious repetitive issue. I would not recommend.

4 out of 5 stars   Cheap with all of the Pros and Cons
By FuzzyBoots on December 30, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix JX420 Black 16 Megapixels, 5X Optical Zoom Digital Camera with HD Video (FJFPJX420)
Pros: cheap, High resolution, Fast
Cons: Middling motion tracking, Confusing interface
Other Comments: I bought this as a gift, so my experience was secondhand. The picture on the screen blurred when the camera moved, and we found that often, this left the picture blurred as well. It took several minutes to locate the timer function due to the lack of a quick-reference manual that covered anything other than powering up the camera and pressing the shutter button. Nonetheless, it was less expensive than other cameras and it does have a fast response time.

2 out of 5 stars   returned it, not a fan

Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix JX420 Black 16 Megapixels, 5X Optical Zoom Digital Camera with HD Video (FJFPJX420)
Pros: Panoamic pictures, Large screen, Lightweight, Small
Cons: Blurrs easily, Flash didnt always work, Too much of a delay, Not great pictures
Other Comments: the camera wasn't that great, the pictures got blurry and a little pixelated, the flash didn't always go off when it should of. I would take 3 pictures in the same spot without me moving or zooming or without the subject of my photo moving and without changing the lighting and each picture would come out different. there seemed to be a delay on the the shutter button, i would have to hold it down for a while before it would take, even if I focused the picture by holding it down half way first. I returned it, I just didn't think the quality of the pictures was that great. It was great how the panoramic pictures took though and how it was so lightweight and small.

Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix JX420 Black 16 Megapixels, 5X Optical Zoom Digital Camera with HD Video (FJFPJX420)
Pros: Very easy to use
Cons: No memory card included
Other Comments: Gave this to both my 7 & 9 year old daughters as gifts. REALLY easy to use - they both figured it out without any instructions. Nice photos and good speed and zoom... No real negatives, but wish we had realized there was no memory card included as we would have bought one ahead of time.

1 out of 5 stars   Not Working Properly
By Jeff on December 19, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix JX420 Black 16 Megapixels, 5X Optical Zoom Digital Camera with HD Video (FJFPJX420)
Pros:
Cons:
Other Comments: My camera is not working properly. There seems to be a problem with an interior component. When the camera comes on, it is all blurry and I am unable to make out any images. After a while, it will "click" and then it can be used. Unfortunately, it is too close to Christmas not to have a camera. At least I have a partially working one. I am also confused by a note inside the box stating that I have to contact Fuji with any problems. I would love to return it to who sold it to me: Beach Camera.
