The Ideal Compact Camera
I bought the Finepix F30 nearly 1 year ago and have been most pleased with it.
I have taken pictures with it that sometimes even I don't believe, they almost match DSLR quality. It's macro works well up to roughly half a foot away from the subject, occasionally a pain to get the focus right, as it utilizes auto-focus (AF) after all. With 6.3 mega pixels in its arsenal, the resolution of the pictures will not disappoint any one looking to take pictures when out on holiday, or with friends, or even just for fun.
The scene position function is an extremely handy tool. For example, the 'sunset' setting automatically boosts the contrast and saturates the colors when attempting to capture sunsets or sunrises, which come out delightfully beautiful. Other handy settings I have used very often are the 'flower' setting (macro mode, high saturation) and the 'text' setting (macro mode, no flash - for digitizing documents, drawings and texts). There are over 10 scene positions all in all, including 'natural light', 'party' and 'potrait'.
I have had problems with the sound though - after a month or so I realized that the microphone was not working and could not record sound. But thankfully the problem was fixed in less than a week after I brought it to the repair center.
The battery life lasts roughly 2 days to over a week depending on how much you use it. It takes roughly 4 hours to charge, which is a average for a compact camera.
The ISO capability is on top of the line as a compact camera. The F30 is well-sized, affordable and user-friendly, which I recommend to any photography enthusiast who is not prepared to spend a small fortune on a professional DSLR, or just anyone looking for a good, simple compact camera for capturing memories.

Functional
0 of 1 found this helpful I have been using the 9850GB PLUS for almost half a year now, and have not run into any problems with it so far. It is a little bulky, having been used to using non-graphing calculators which are smaller. Also a little slow when drawing a graph. Takes time to load. I learned to use it in a day or two, directions are straightforward. You can find the manual online. My only grievance is that you cannot change fractions to decimal points. Overall a good calculator, does what it's meant to do.

Simplicity
2 of 2 found this helpful ..at it's best. If you're looking for a cheap, low-maintenance phone, and if all you're looking for is to make phone calls and send SMS, then this is the phone for you. It's durable, highly affordable and very easy to use. I have used it for several years and have little fault to find in it. It's only con is that it has little aesthetic value - it isn't sleek nor stylish, but it sure is hardy. Like all nokia phones, you can drop in a hundred times, the battery will pop out, the keypad will come out of place, but you put it all back and still it will work.
