Fj 2800z not bad what, I had one also.....

2.1MP, 6x optical zoom, webcam function, movie clip wif audio, all in a $600+ package.....vibrant colors too...though now I understand that it's a matter of haevier saturation.

Another typical case of itchy fingers........

A couple of tips for u.....when taking night shots the shutter will be at its slowest --> 1/2 sec. Hold ur DC steady if not the shot sure blur blur....

Also, when using max 6x zoom u need a steady pair of hands too...cos any minute movements is multiplied 6-fold....

Enjoy ur new toy.

Make sure u got lots of light in your room or get a table lamp when using web cam mode. Y not use netmeeting or cuseeme?

if i remember correctly, webcam using fuji 2800 is very dark, you need very strong light in your room to see propoerly

 

[Ling Nightsky]

my room isn't britly lit... but anyway, i'll try out first

Congrats, Ling! Anything to share regarding the exchange process? So that next time we'll know if we ever need to do any exchange with AP...

That seem to be a problem with most webcam enabled DC.

is that more a problem with home lighting?

I had the problem with my ricoh rdc6000 when i used it for home conferencing last time. Also tested a creative webcam and the creative one is slightly if not much better. The usual remedy is to put a table lamp behind the cam to illuminate yourself. I think this is probably bcos the web cam video capture settings are not optimized for low light situations such as room light at nite.

congrats on getting ur new toy!!!

 

[Ling Nightsky]

yup, it's dark... i think part of the problem also lies in my room

 

[Ling Nightsky]

i set up a light... now it's much better

If u use during daytime, try opening the windows to let more light in.
