Optical Photography

Is the Fuji 14MP/30X Optical Zoom Digital Camera a good camera to purchase for photography?
..Yes I am just starting, but it is something that I have been wanting to do for awhile now and definitely something I am looking to take seriously.
I used to own it, from your question I am guessing you are only just starting photography.
If this is the case then it is a very friendly camera and great for those quick shots, if you are however looking to take photography then you would want something like a DSLR such as the Canon EOS 550D which I upgraded to.
How much are you looking to spend and what sort of level are you looking for?
Please provide more details and I shall update with more info!
Ok, if this is something serious but still a first starting then that camera is fine, providing you keep up with it! The camera isn't a bad camera and is fine for amateur photography and for those learning.
Once you have worked on your shots (and I recommend joining a club) and in a couple of years or so you can look for something else.
The only down side with that it automatically auto focusses. It sounds good but it stops you getting fast action shots.
Other then that! Great camera for learning and GOOD LUCK!
