Digital Cameras : Fujifilm FinePix S5200

I bought it for my son, who is taking photography classes in Senior year High School. I want one now, but I already have 2 newer FujiFilm pont and shoots! I need a good camera for my business, as I take thousands of pics a month as a Motion Picture location scout. Looks like pro camera, black over black, has automatic pop up flash, easy to use right out of the box, incredible pic quality (and I have 3 SLR's and 3 Digital cams), color is deep and rich, controls are intuitive. Uses 4 AA batteries, no hard to find or expensive batteries. Smallish screen (1.8") but washes out less than most, plus you have a thru the lens viewfinder to peep through, color LCD also. Typically, Fuji cameras have great features for the price, well made, and the Super CCD technology is truely inovative! Highly suggest you go for it. Paid $239.00, and it was on clearance. Also get the FujiFilm 1 megabyte xd memory card for long videos and lots of pic storage. And I've made up my mind, I'm getting one for myself!! Hide Full Review

This is my first digital camera, but I had used my parent's camera for a while. I love this camera. It has basic settings for newer users, then it has more advanced features that I haven't even bothered trying yet. I am really pleased with the quality of the pictures. They are sharp and beautiful. I thought it would be huge and heavy and bulky before I got it, but it is surprisingly pretty bright. The zoom is awesome but to get a picture to be clear when you zoom all the way in, you would need a tripod. I am very pleased with this camera! Hide Full Review

this is an alround wonderful camera. i do about 95% of shooting in auto, and i dont have any problems. the one thing that bugs me is how loud it can be when zooming and focusing, but most other cameras like this have the same problem, so its kinda a lose-lose situation. all-in-all its a great camera, easy to use, sturdy, light, and has lots of features. i give fuji a 5 outta 5 Hide Full Review

Recently purchased the FinePix S5200 and immediately put it through its paces. If you can read, you can use this camera right out of the box. Takes amazing pictures on auto everything; and with a little more studying of the manual, you can really get into the whole photo experience. I downloaded pics of my kids for starters and it was so easy to do after the software installation (easy) that I found myself taking pictures of everything, just to experiment. I'm planning a trip out west this summer, and wanted a camera to take pics of wildlife from a distance. The 10X zoom will do that and more. I'm thrilled with this camera: looks like an SLR only light as a feather. The viewfinder is small by comparison, but you can toggle between an LCD and optical viewfinder, so not a problem. Try it...you'll love it! Hide Full Review
