Fuji FinePix s5200????[views:1221][posts:5]___________________________________ [Jun 14,2006 11:42am - Digiman ""] hey, to u guys that use cams, what do you think of the Fuji Fine Pix S5200 as an entry level digital cam? I'm looking for a cam that can take awesome pics, 5mp, 10x optical zoom, and i don't want to wait in between shots! point and shoot cams you gotta wait like 2-3 seconds before its ready to go again. and if you use that thing in a hall or something the pics never come out good (not enough light). thoughts? thanks. |

I bought my mom the kodak one, but like all of these consumer cameras, you are going to get that lag. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Fujifilm/fuji_finepixs5200z.asp if you don't want no lag, drop twice as much on a nikon d50 and you will be much happier. otherwise you are just wasting your money on a camera that won't do what you want. |

A few people are like why do you want such a huge camera!? Well I like the fact that I can soom in at 10x optical and i like the big lens not the pinhole lens found on all digital cams today. but i mean if i'm not gaining anything more except 10x optical on the Fuji then i mine as well stay with the point and shoot.... |
