Author's Review
This is a great camera ( WOW !) to own period. I own an Olympus S350 and a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT , but this
is the camera that produces the best images.
Pros:

1) The zoom on this camera is fantastic. My photos at 10x
optical zoom were great. I added the 5.7 digital zoom
to get a closer shot, and was impressed with the quality
of the picture.

2) The anti-blur function really stabilized the image focus.

3) The quality of the pictures was so amazing that a co-worker couldn't believe the camera actually captured the true color ( blue ) of her eyes.

4)Even in low light situations, the AF assist lamp and natural light mode produces high quality pictures.

5)Very fast start-up and auto focus time

6)Continuous burst shooting delivers crisp pictures.

7) Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) or the 1.8" LCD monitor
has good resolution ( three frames in a second )

8)I have to say the color quality of the pictures are unsurpassed.

9) Shooting modes: All 11 shooting modes give you the freedom to explore photography to the limits. Modes include natural mode for low-light situations, anti-blur mode to reduce camera shake and blurriness and an advanced portrait mode that enhances the quality of your people pictures.

10) Battery life is great.

Cons:

1) No optional flash.

2) Body of the camera is bulky, but lite.

3) The 16 MB flash - xD-Picture Card is small. What were they thinking to include this card with such a great camera. This is not the camera's fault !

4) The manual is too basic

I'm very impressed with this camera, so don't hesitate
to purchase the Fuji FinePix S5200 if you are uncertain
of buying a camera for performance.
