Good – My dad has one of these cameras and sometimes I am lucky enough to use it,its real easy to operate and you can even record digital movies with sound, the lenght of the movie really depends on the size of the memory card,only thing is when you are recording you cant zoom in and out it stays at the setting it was before you started recording.

of using DSLR. Pictures are of high quality. High optical zoom is an additional advantage. Very commonly found in online as well as local market. Video recording with sound - this made me purchase it over Olympus. Size is little bulky. Power(battery) consumption is high.

for better quality than .jpg, easy to connect to computer to download or TV to view, handles low light better than some similar digital cameras, instructions are moderately well written, I bought one of the first ones on the market and no reliability issues so far, protect the LCD screen with one of those disposable screen protectors for PDAs, can get extra lenses and filters (some Olypmus and other brand lenses fit) Need a tripod at full optical zoom, no facility for cable release, only 3.1 mp, XD cards cost more than SD, need to buy rechargeable batteries and charger if intendig a lot of use, I'd like a wide-angle lens but extras lenses(Fuji and otherwise)are hard to get and decent quality are expensive

Excellent – love this camera, bought it when it first came out (about A $799), have been using it quite a bit recently since our new baby was born. overall a good camera that produces nice pictures, like a combination of a digital SLR & point-and-shoot camera. great optical zoom, produces nice clear photos uses too many 4(AA) batteries, and a bit bulky

Good – Great product, recommend it to anyone. Kids love seeing there picture after you have shot it. Can delete as many as you like, therefore the more the merrier. So simple to use, even if you dont have a general knowledge of Digital Camera's (like me). I picked it up straight away. can be a little slow on the shutter speed at times, and the small… Read more

delay between pressing the shoot button and the actual shot being taken is annoying sometimes - you miss the kids doing something in that half second sometimes.

Excellent – excellent, well worth buying, I changed over from an slr with all the extras & this is so much easier but I do have the latest model(S5500). Can be picked up for $450 on special, grteat buy. Simple to use, extras(lenses etc) easy to buy on ebay & not to expensive, great zoom, new model has higher resolution and is a more reliable camera

Good – The menu is nice, simple and easy to navigate. Ergonomics are good. Picture quality is good. Runs on AA batteries. Overall, it has plenty of bang for your bucks if you consider all the features for a relatively low price. Very simple and easy to use. Captures great pictures if used correctly. Value for money. Unlimited movie with sound. Slow shutter speed. Only 3.1 megapixels. Movie quality is average.

Good – Great product, recommend it to anyone. Kids love seeing there picture after you have shot it. Can delete as many as you like, therefore the more the merrier. Ease of use. Pictures look great. Can delete dud photos without wasting your money on printing them. If you don't know quite enough about photography the photos can end up being a bit blurry if not on the right setting.

OK – The fujifilm s5000 is a great camera for an enthusiastic photographer to learn on Large optical zoom Great manual control of exposure settings noisy images minimum iso is too high only 3.2mp
