Mine is a few years old, I think it's the Finepix 3800 or something close to that. It was around $350-$400 when I bought it...you can buy it's equal these days for about $175 or so I think.
My problem with most of the lower end digital cameras is the fact that I'm no elf, and my hands aren't elf sized. I have a hard time with them getting in the way of camera operations. The Fuji was a bit bigger so it won out over others. The reviews at Steves-digicams.com were helpful as well. But now the bezel and shade are long gone, the battery door has to be held on with tape, the lens doesn't like to extend, and if you shake it...You get a small pile of sand.
I bought the camera to abuse, and abuse it I did. It was in my backpack/camelback while riding ATV's, mountain bikes, horses, at Helga's House of Pain, going snowboarding, etc. Even though it's now falling apart after 4+ years of abuse, it still takes some pretty dang good pictures...If I can get it to turn on
