The FinePix A500 point and shoot camera incorporates Fujifilm’s innovative Super CCD sensor, direct print, date/time stamp, DPOF support, PictBridge support, NTSC/PAL Video out, resizing an image. Many people are disappointed because on sale it does not include a memory card. The controls on the camera have been designed for simple, one-handed operation and it does have an optical viewfinder (Field Coverage: 75%). As far as I see, the movie mode is poor, limited and with no sound. For a 5MP camera, it only provides 4 scene modes and I find that quite strange at least: look at some Canon, at the same resolution it comes with much more. These limitations may become frustrating and you will want to upgrade.
