You have always been able to enter with a non Fuji camera - but as always - you will not win - only Fuji cameras win.

Angie is Right If You Read The Rules Anyone Can Enter But must Have Taken the Shot With a Fuji camera To Be able to Be Judged for Winning

use 'save as' and it should retain the exif

Fuji film allows pictures to be entered into the competition on the understanding that they have been captured using a Fine Pix camera, they are the property of the photographer and that the photographer is entitled to use them. Fuji film accepts no liability whatsoever for images uploaded  so not taken by a fuji finepix camera Carnot be entered

Thats an excerpt from the rules, it says it must be captured using a finepix camera

Tell them that if it was a winner, see what happens but thats what the rules page says

I think the problem lies in the word 'Enter'. An image taken with a non Fuji camera may be placed into the competition pages for folk to view, but it isn't entered into the competition because it doesn't conform to the rules. These photos are left in the competition gallery for interest, photos which were stolen from someone and Fuji realise or are told are removed.

I use "Fast Image Resizer" (Free download) to reduce my images, you can specify the reduced size and also have the option to save or remove the Exif.  Google it.

erm .well i don't know how true it was .but the winning entry by one of the members .so someone said .but i`m not sure if it was a wind up.was taken by a Nikon .that's what someone said when the winners was put onto the forum .i`m not saying it was a Nikon .i`m just stating what someone put onto the forum .in my opinion.it does not bother me if it is .or not taken with a Fuji camera .but that's my opinion .and the taker of the picture is one of my favorite photographer on the Fuji site .i just thought i`d put my opinion about what was said at the time .only the person that took the photo , could anser weather or weather not it was a Fuji camera .

Surely with so many entries that they should be limited to those taken with a Fuji camera - otherwise what is the point in a Fuji site.. When I first joined I thought this was for Fuji ownnes given that there are many other sites for other makes and all makes.

(I know I'm going to be lynched for this but hey I did not use capitals)

Noel, the guy that left that comment, is my boyfriend

It was a joke harking back to when he won a good while ago and there was a BIG kick off on the old forums by someone claiming he used a nikon and couldnt have taken it with a fuji..

weeeeeell .lol.Carrie.i understand what you are saying .Fuji is unique with its competition as far as i`m aware .but i also look at the competition as a photo competition .and not a camera one .i think it would be good if we could use which ever camera we could .as it would give us a view from all angles .and see what camera can gain what others cant .then Fuji could work on that i suppose .but if its got to be a Fuji .than so be it .i admit .when i came onto Fuji .i thought these cheaper cameras were just that .but i have since been very surprised by some of the quality they can produce .when used properly .and that in its own makes me wonder .what a 20 grand camera as better .also it gives people that cant get all these expensive camera.and love photography .like many do .but it doesn't cost a arm and a leg to produce it . so that's many thanks to Fuji for this .and as for the new hs10 .this one is really starting to impress me a lot .even the auto made works well .or so i`v seen .i will be getting one very soon i suspect .ho .and the comunity on here .is super .

Aaaah would that be Noels 'manipulated' jumper on the beach. Haha.

I remember that debate quite well. Yet another case of sour grapes, similar to when Jen won a prize and the cries of 'clique' came about.

Some people eh?

Regarding Noel, only 3 days to go until we see how he got on in his quest for a big shoot.  Fingers are crossed.

Besides...it wasn't a Nikon..it was a Canon....

Oops, there I go again..! LOL!

Fnarrr!
