Great camera....learn how to use it [Posted on 2008-01-24]
I've had this camera for over a year now. I went from a mediocre handheld pocket sized camera to this and I love it. It has amazing picture quality and you can do so much with it. It's amazing for nature pictures.
The only thing I would say about this camera is if you get it take the time to learn how to use it. I went from basically a point-and-shoot camera to this and there are sooo many settings on there I'm still learning (but that's my fault because I've just begun to really sit down with the booklet) and it has so much potential. The past year I've taken great pictures (compared to the old) but I'm realizing that with all this camera can do if you just know what settings to use you can take amazing pictures.
It's really a great value for the price and I highly recommend it.
Love the Quality! [Posted on 2008-02-06]
I have owned this wonderful camera for about a year now, and have no complaints! It takes amazing photos. There are so many different settings, from "portrait" to "outside" to "action" that I can capture anything I want with wonderful results. I have 3 kids that are always moving and I can get non-blurry pics of them! It's good enough that I've taken wedding pictures that turned out better than the professional photographers! And the prints? Wow! For the price, there isn't a better digital camera on the market. And the fact that it takes 4 "AA" batteries may be a turn-off for some. But let me tell you, when you're in the middle of nowhere and your battery dies, it's nice to know that a trip to the store can get you up and running again!
As good as my S3 IS, If not better.. [Posted on 2008-03-20]
Ok, so the 5200 is 5MP instead of 6 and it doesn't have Optical IS but it still beats my Canon S3IS in 1) Low Light and 2) Photo Sharpness. If you look at my S3 review you'll see that's important to me. I've always been a Fuji FinePix fan for it's sharpness. This is the standard I juge all other camera's by. For some reason, a lot of people don't recognize Fuji. I can't say all of the FinePix line is great, my wife's F470 SUCKS for sharpness. The 5200 is getting harder to find and a new camera generally costs more than the S3. That is Fuji's fault in my opnion. Why they didn't put Optical IS is beyond me, but it is still a great camera.
Great Camera [Posted on 2008-05-02]
This camera just keeps getting better and better the more I learn about it. The 10x optical zoom is great for theme parks and zoo's and such, or a number of other events and circumstances. Takes great picutres, and is very easy to use. Owners manual is helpful and easy to understand. Highly recommend this camera for anyone who wants seriously excellent personal picutres.
Fuiji Finepix S5200- Great Camera even for beginners [Posted on 2008-05-04]
I love this camera. This camera is the best camera I have ever used. It does night shots, sports/action shots, zooms in 10x. I have owed it for over 4 years. At first I bought it to take photos of my Siamese kittens. I get perfect shots with no red eyes. The Fuiji lens is terrific for taking pictures of animals w/o eye glare. This camera also has manual settings for more experienced users. I am in a college photo class (B & W film) and was able to use this camera to aid in the film shots.
I cannot say enough good things about this camera. We used it to document pregnancy and after our son was born, soccer games, wildlife shots, flowers and butterfly pictures. I have used it to take pictures of my dashboard in my new van and the pictures come out great. It takes good video clips. I bought a lemon.
I unfortunately have to replace this camera. I paid 380.00 for it new and 99.00 for the 1GB XD memory card. That was over 4 years ago though. I just order the Fuiji S8100fd to replace this camera. This is more advanced camera w/ 10 megapixels. After using this camera w/o any problems I will always replace it with another Fuiji. They are really good cameras. It has been dropped on pavement and it still worked. It also fell off kitchen table and still worked. (Not recommended) It is a pretty tough camera. I have 3 children. My 14 year old uses this camera also. I wish I didn't forget thsi camera in the diaper bag with a leaky sippy cup of milk.
