Fujifilm FinePix A600 Review
Tuesday, November 14th, 2006The Fujifilm FinePix A600 doesn’t do much, and it isn’t very pretty, but this shooter does deliver decent photos for less than $200. Some might call it the archetypal budget snapshot camera–a clunky, six-megapixel point-and-shoot with a cookie-cutter feature set.
