Fuji Finepix 1300 digital camera

[written July, 2008]
I first got one of these back in 2000 as a free giveaway from Staples with the purchase of Windows or Office. At the time it was a state of the art camera.
By all of today's standards it's hopelessly obsolete and you would think it was junk. BUT NO!, it's not. This is a GREAT camera for quick, no-muss, no-fuss E-Bay pictures and quick photos you just want to E-Mail to someone. Ok, no zoom and it's only 1.3 Megapixels (although it is a VERY, VERY GOOD 1.3MP ... comparable in overall quality to many 2MP and even some 3MP cameras). But you can take the photo and be done in 30 seconds, it's small, compact, and it's ridiculoulsly easy to use (it has almost no settings or adjustments), it just does the basic picture taking job and you are done. It does it well, no muss, no fuss, done in a flash.
There is one huge drawback: It uses SmartMedia cards, which are no longer made, which can be expensive to buy (even used) and which a lot of the newer card readers won't read (it also has a USB port assuming that you have the USB cable).
Buy one? These are available for under $10. If you get one at that price, if it comes with a memory card and cable, it can be a good deal. However, about $10 (plus shipping) is about all that it is worth.
