Fujifilm FinePix A600 review

Though its images satisfied, the Fujifilm FinePix A600's design left a lot to be desired and its wake-up and shot-to-shot times could have been faster. Between its clunky body and awkward control scheme, the A600 simply isn't very fun or easy to use. If you're looking for a simple, attractive, inexpensive camera, you might consider the Olympus FE-190 instead, though it doesn't include a continuous shooting mode. If you're looking for a budget point-and-shoot with strong manual features, consider the Canon PowerShot A540. The two cameras are quite different from each other, but each vastly improves upon the A600's flaws.
