FinePix S5700 Digital Camera
From FUJIFILM
Fujifilm is pleased to announce the new FinePix S5700, a refinement of its predecessor, the FinePix S5600. The modifications to the FinePix S5700 mean it is easier to use than anything that has gone before. It's a faithful companion for every event, from nights out, the kids' school play or sports day, right through to countryside walks and family holidays. It's the ultimate camera for every occasion and perfect for users who always want a camera to hand, but prefer to get creative, not technical, with their photography.
Now this is a Camera!
I really like this camera so far. It shoots amazingly detailed pictures. It is easy to use, looks cool and has awesome battery life.
It takes AA batteries (4). I have had it a couple weeks and have been using it a lot and so far have not had to change them.
What else can I say? This camera is a pleasure to own. I did a lot of research, as always, and chose this one. It had great reviews in Consumer Reports, for one thing, and other models have been well-reviewed.
I did purchase a Kodak sub-compact camera before this one... I returned it and got this one instead. Boy, am I glad I did.
Update: 7-28-07. I am still taking pictures with the original batteries I put in! That is amazing. I took it camping, and took several hundred pictures. The pictures are great... really clear.
Update: 09-01-07. I finally replaced the batteries. After carrying around this one on several trips, I can say easily this is still a great camera! Having a smaller camera that I could fit in my pocket might be nice. However, I would trade quality over smallness any day. This is an awesome camera.
Awesome Camera
easy to use, beautiful pictures, light weight. I picked up the xd card to go with it. So far I've had no problems other than I wanted to take it on the vacation before I bought it but I'm glad I waited because it came out after the vacation. I love the zoom and the macro/super macro abilities. I'd never been able to catch a butterfly on film before but this is quick enough and has a wonderful zoom that I can stand 5 ft away and get a clear picture.
Easy to use. Nice step towards an SLR
FinePix S5700 Digital Camera
I love this camera. I looked at many cameras online, comparing their features, and have not been disappointed so far. I didn't want to spend the money on an SLR, but the FujiFilm S5700 is a nice step towards an SLR. It has many easy to use features and settings.
It is lightweight, easy to hold, and the buttons are conveniently located. It also has a mode which allows the camera to take two consecutive shots - one with a flash, and one without, in case you are unsure. For low light conditions, it has a feature with which you can adjust your ISO, allowing you to take advantage of natural light.
It has a larger 2.5 inch screen, which is great for seeing your shots. It's great on batteries; doesn't wear them down too quickly, and I've gotten so many compliments on the pictures I've taken. I purchased the S5700 just before our vacation this year, and haven't been able to put it down since. I am especially pleased with it's macro abilities.
