I love Fuji digital cameras and believe that you cannot beat the image quality. Everything other reviewers have said is true but the one thing that makes this camera pretty much unusable for me is the extremely weak flash. I'm a Realtor and need great indoor shots of large rooms. This camera says the flash goes 13 feet but even that is not strong enough. I took a photo of a beautifully set dining room table. The first few feet was lit..the rest was not. I thought of using this camera for only outdoor photos but even that won't work a lot of the time. When taking people pictures I almost always force a flash so that their faces are not in the shade. I took dozens of people photos of an outdoor charity event I sponsored with a forced flash and none of the faces came out.
If enough people complain about the flash I'm hoping Fuji will improve upon it. As for now I need to go shopping for another camera.

Very Big Bang for the Buck.
Surprisingly versatile for a consumer level Super Zoom P&S camera.
The result right out of the box at default settings are good.
If you read the manual, and know something about photography, it really rocks.
It is no DLSR, but it is the kind of camera you can hand to beginner and they can do quite well.
As they learn more it has the capacity to allow them to grow and experiment.
It is light, quite compact and durable.
Actually it make a perfect vacation camera for when you want to go light and easy.
It made a perfect Gateway Digicam and led me to get my DLSR.
But I wll still keep the Fuji for those trips to Miami :)

I got my S5200 last September through Amazon. I was upgrading from a HP Photosmart 320 (low MP point-&-shoot) and didn't know much about this class of camera. Most of my camera time is spent getting shots of my 17 month-old son and the HP was not keeping up. After extensive research, reviewing an endless stream of customer and semi-professional reviews, I took the plunge and ordered this one.
I like the construction of this camera. I found that for the price and features (and % of positive reviews), the closest comparable camera was the Kodak Easyshare Z740. The Z740 and several other similar class cameras all had the cheesy gray plastic shells that most cell phones have. This makes them seem flimsy and delicate. The black, hardened plastic of this Fuji, coupled with the rubberized grip around the lense tube (for lack of a better term) give this camera a sturdier feel and more professional appearance.
Since I am not an experienced photographer and only have experience with low-end
