I feel this camera performs well in its class.

This camera readily connects as a usb mass-storage device. The camera also supports the PTP protocol however, I have not used it in that mode.

Files are stored within the dcim/100_fuji/ subdirectory on the camera.

Notes about the camera:
The camera housing and plastic feels cheap, but it performs fairly well. The LCD is not protected, and can get dirty/smudged/damaged easily.
The first pair of alkaline batteries I used, which may not have been fresh, were quickly drained. I have had much better success with NiMH rechargeables.
The flash, which is reputed to be weak, is somewhat easy to put a finger on.
The USB and video out ports are exposed.
The memory card is curiously located along with the batteries behind the same access door.
Cycle time (time between pictures) is not fast

I've set the camera up with hotplug (after a fair bit of needless head-banging) to transfer pictures immediately when connected. Contact me if you would like more info on how that is achieved.

The camera works perfectly under Linux. Attaching the camera to the computer via USB cable, or inserting the XD memory card, brings up a menu. It can't be much easier than this.

One word of advice: don't cut/delete photos from the XD card via linux. Make sure you copy the photos you want from the card to your hard drive, then format the card in the camera. If you do not do this, it is possible (although not incredibly likely) to corrupt photos on the card (fixed by formatting the card again, although you'll lose corrupted information). I believe that this is the case with all Fuji cameras.

This camera was a great performer for its time. You'll now be able to get a much more powerful brand new camera for a very low price, so it looks like this review is just for the books.
