FUJIFILM FinePix S5000 Digital Camera

Pros: Solid body feel, easy and smartly designed controls, great value for the money
Cons: Weird shape tricky for buying camera bags, skimpy 16MB xD card ships with camera

To set this review up properly, you need to understand a little of where I've been. My first digital camera ever was the Minolta Dimage V, a VGA-quality camera with a tilt-swivel lens head that succumbed to a single fall on the ground, and a Nikon ...

Pros: Lots of settings, ability to add filters attachments to lens, similar to expensive SLRs
Cons: Takes time and practice to fully use camera

Shopping online for a good digital camera, I was cued in on the Fujifilm FinePixS5000 when I mistakenly typed the wrong website for epinions and came to a site that compared digital cameras, with the Fujifilm FinePix S5000 as one of the top 3 on the ...

Pros: 10X-zoom, easy to use, lightweight even with batteries, 5-rapid pics, quiet operation, DURABLE.
Cons: Small memory card, battery dies without telling you, control knob moves inadvertently

New single important comment as of February 29, 2004 - I attended a cub scout meeting last night and one of the little rug rats dropped my camera about 3 feet to the vinyl (cement underneath) floor, the camera bounced, the battery door opened and all the ...

Pros: look, feel, ease of use, size, weight, image quality/size, zoom, price, lens, adaptability
Cons: lower shutter speed limit 2 seconds, ISO annoyances, white balance needs further control

When i decided to upgrade my very poor digital camera (purchased for about £100....you get what you pay for!) i carried out a little research, mostly on the internet and after a while i narrowed the choice to two cameras. I wanted a large zoom and slr ...

Pros: 10X Optical Zoom Ergonomics
Cons: Too much JPEG Compression No way to turn off digital zoom

I have been using the Fuji S5000 for about a week now and I really like it. This is my 4th digital camera and by far the best. The main reason for my purchase of this camera is that it offers manual control. One of the surprises on initially getting ...

Pros: Size, picture quality, zoom.
Cons: Lag time, ease of operation, not for beginners.

After reading all the reviews here I decided this was the digi for me and told my husband who bought it for me for xmas. I was so excited when I got it and started taking pics right away, first thing I noticed that drives me nuts is that it makes you ...

Pros: Great zoom, remarkable resolution.
Cons: Sometimes forgets to turn off.

I've owned many digital cameras over the years. Everything from one of the first, which didn't even give a resolution or have a flash, (and cost a mortgage payment), to several Sony cameras, to this S5000. I am glad I bought this baby. Its 10X optical ...

Pros: 10x digital zoom Automatic and manual settings Feels durable Takes quality pictures
Cons: Larger than most digital cams, but I think the pros outweigh that con.

I've been looking to upgrade from my low, low quality digital cam for quite sometime, but when I started to do the research, my head was spinning. So many cameras, so many options, so many pros and cons to weigh out. Based on the reviews, this camera ...

Pros: The 10X zoom is worth every penny.
Cons: Flash Photos: there is a noticeable delay before it is ready for the next photo.

I am no professional photographer, but have used the Kodak DX3600 digital camera for a couple of years. I have always wanted a better zoom than the 2x optical provided by the Kodak (I will ignore the digital zoom). I was intrigued by the 10X optical ...

Pros: Great quality lens, picture quality stellar, physically attractive body, useful in-camera modes, LOW price
Cons: Lower resolution than some other cameras (at 3.2 megapixels), but Fuji makes these megapixels count

The Fuji S5000 can produce what are, without a doubt, some of the best quality pictures in the non dSLR digital camera market. The S5000 benefits from Fuji's brand new Super CCD technology, giving it wider dynamic range (can capture more information from ...

Pros: Great zoom, ease of use, complex options, movie feature, price
Cons: 16mb memory card, multi-shot mode works poorly.

This is actually my 5th digital camera and I can not immagine how I got allong with all the regular point and shoot's up until now! This camera has a fantastic zoom (10x optical, 22x digital) a sufficient built in flash, Movie w/sound feature, and ...

Pros: Zoom, features, great feel, QUALITY color, batt life, filter adapter.
Cons: Shutter lag, no TTL metering.

I've had the S5000 for about 3 months, but am returning it in favor of it's head to head competition, the Minolta Z1. I won't talk about the Z1 in this review, but rather focus on the pros and cons of the S5000. Firstly though I must say that I DO love ...

Pros: Easy to handle/use, AA batteries, grunty flash, heaps of zoom, great pictures, looks impressive.
Cons: Mode wheel, manual focus, zoom control badly placed for left eyed users.

The S5000Z represents the best value for money in the digicam market today. Now that is a bold sweeping statement but it is true, I have owned this camera for one week and it has surprised me at every turn. An ergonomic delight, it just fits right into ...

Pros: Almost everything
Cons: Mode wheel too loose, should be able to lock better

A few weeks ago, I started looking at upgrading my Kodak DX3500 digital camera. First thing I did was the obvious - went to the store and looked at what looked cool. I became interested in the SLR style digital cameras, but was put off by the price. ...

Pros: ease of use, high quality imaging, wide range of zoom, GREAT ergonomics, Good price.
Cons: Not a 6.0MP camera, don't like the strap.

Had mine for about nine months, and I absolutely LOVE this camera. It's got more features than I need, I tend to do mostly quick shots for a small newsletter-type magazine, and for this it works great. I'll occasionally do web photography or eBay sales ...
