Fujifilm FinePix S5500

I am here to tell you about the Fujifilm FinePix S5500 that I have recently bought, and how I am so pleased with it, that as the title says, I firmly believe you will not get another camera with this quality, for the same price.
I'm not going to bore you with all the features, as no doubt if you are looking round to buy a camera, you probably have overdosed on all of those anyway, and are fully aware of what each and every camera does within the price budget you are looking at.
What I am going to do, is tell you how I came about this camera,and now I have it, the benefits and reasons why I think it is superb value.
I was having a conversation with a few people at work about digital photography, and a couple of them just happen to be keen on cameras. One of my colleagues then told me about a survey he read, about how someone got a whole list of digital cameras ranging from £100-£5000 (the £5k one being a Nikon).
The purpose of the survey was to see if there was such a difference in photo quality between the top of the range cameras and the not so expensive ones. Without going into too much detail, the Fujifilm FinePix was the closest in quality to the Nikon,superb qualty pictures and a credit to its manufacturer.
Now i understand this camera is not going to be to everybody's taste - there are downsides to this camera, not being faults, but a reason for someone not to buy it. For example, it only has a 1.8" lcd screen, plenty big enough, but some people like bigger, and also its not a slimline camera, so for the people who like to take their camera everywhere with them this may not be for them, as its not the kind you put in your pocket. But it does have the perfect grip to be able to hold with one hand whilst taking photographs.
I kid you not people, this is a great camera. Ok it only has 4 millionpixels, but isnt that plenty enough, I mean, how big do you want your pictures hehe. Another benefit for this camera, is it has 10 times optical zoom, so it feels like you're taking pictures with your binoculars unlike other slimmer cameras in the same price bracket which only have approx 3 times optical zoom.
So, to sum up if you want a camera that takes superb quality pics,has a great zoom feature, good finger-grip handle, and your not bothered about having to take it everywhere in your pocket, then for the money, I strongly recommend this product to you.
