I purchased this Finepix camera as a refurbished item for my nephew to replace a crappy vivitar he had. I was able to find it for around + shipping (compared to 5 new). Once I received it I opened it because I was unsure about the quality of the camera and the condition since it was a refurb. It had some small scratches but still looked pretty sharp. Simple colors, small but reasonable size, and easy to use accessories were the hallmarks of the E510.

I turned it on and played with it for awhile. The camera has as many features as most high-end 35mm units. It takes full video with sound. The photos are stunningly clear and consistent. The pictures can be set a 5Mpixel or several lower settings to conserve memory. It has more features than I can or am willing to describe here. The real downside is the xD memory card, they're teeny tiny small and more expensive than other flash memory. If you are looking for a consistent, FAIRLY simple (if you've used 35mm cameras before this is no problem), and reasonably priced camera, you've found it. Even closer to the brand new price of 5 I would consider buying this camera. My nephew loved the software cd that came with it. The included software didn't need to be installed for Windows XP (plug and play). He described the photo management software as a very basic version of photoshop. All in all this is a fully functioning digital camera for a great price.

Still good in 2009 ! - Anthony H. Conroy - Melbourne Australia
This amazing camera will still do more than most low to Medium priced
Digital Cameras even in 2009 ! Typically Manufacturers have been driven by the need to go for higher megapixels (not always a good thing) and in order to do this have sacrficed things like optical viewfinders ,Multi shooting modes eg Full Manual,Shutter Priority,Aperture Priority etc,to name a few!
Ok i know it's bigger than the cameras we are seeing now, but not many cameras will run on two "AA" batteries and you can even buy these in Katmandu ! The lith-Ion batts supplied for the majority of current cameras
are almost expensive as the cameras they go in ,and they always seem to need recharging.
One last thing the lens starts at 28mm(Wide)so you will be able to get the subject in the frame let me tell you this is a big advantage.
You can still get hold of these, even 2nd hand is worth considering, and also the E500 which is only one Megapixel less, but still has all the features of the E510 Even though i have expensive Digital SLR's i find that i actually use the E510 more
