Amateur opinion (Bought 7 months ago)

Jan 17, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Great price, alot of fun.
Cons: Size is a little bulky, No Image stabalizer.
Opinion:
Bought This is really my first real camera that I have fooled around with. At first took some excellent pics, and some bad ones. As I got use to different settings,less bad pics.
Basically, for the price, it's a perfect learning camera for me.

Also bought a Sony DSC-H3 the other day at a great price. Picture qaulity is better and Image Stab. but I have to say the Fuji is more fun.

Besides, however good a camera I buy now would be obsolete in 12 months time. I would just buy another one by then. After all, we live in a disposable age.
So, instead of relying on CNET editor's rating of 6.2 (which is more or less the bottom of the class), I took a chance on the viewers' rating of 8, and my own judgement on past fuji cameras I had. Although at times, I regret not buying the camera with the features I like. So,I was pleasantly surprised to find that S5700 was rated top of the class of the 36 cameras tested in nov 2007 by the consumer ... Read more

value for $$$

May 11, 2007

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Almost all the function of a DSLR. 10x zoom. Video recording with sound & zoom in/out function
Cons: Power button position, can accidentally switch it on or off. Exposure speed max is 4 secs. 4 AA batt
Opinion:
This is really a valued for $$ digital camera. Image quality is not compromised even though this powerhouse cost less than $400.
