A deal for the daylight photographer
As we said, this low-priced camera can surprise you with its image quality, but there's a caveat: the A201 simply isn't a good choice when ambient light levels are very low. Fujifilm's claim of a 9.8-foot flash range also seems overly optimistic--we'd say more like half that distance. The good news with flash photography is that we didn't see the bluish cast that plagues some digital camera images, giving a horrid zombielike quality to human flesh tones.
In natural daylight or under bright fluorescent fixtures, the A201 produces well-exposed photos with pleasingly saturated colors. Better still, novices should be able to rely on the auto white-balance and exposure most of the time. The only major problem we encountered outdoors was that the camera's metering system made it hard to compensate effectively for backlighting; subjects tended to come out in silhouette.
