    4 Stars SLR Styling & feature, point and shoot in nature. 29/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good image quality, Exceptional Zoom, Good look and Feel, Full manual controls.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No external flash port, Manual controls somewhat awkward, No MF/Zoom Ring, no image stableizer.

    I would love to think myself a great photographer. I liked that I knew how to use aperture and shutter speed get a desired effect. In truth however, I was a fraud. In my life, I have owned but two digital cameras. The first, an old 2 Megapixel Kodak point-and-shooter, and more recently the "stills" option on my Panasonic Mini-DV camera. Still, using the limited manual features on that camera inspired me. Enter the Fujifilm FinePix S5600 Zoom. As it's SLR styling would suggest, this camera includes all the features you would expect from Pro cameras, yet, as it's price point implies, at it's ... more

    5 Stars A must have camera! 22/02/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Superb quality and features at a great price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None so far

    Having owned a Fuji Finepix S2800 for a few years with no real complaints I at last decided it was time to upgrade.The main reason to upgrade was the S2800 was still a fairly basic camera that although took great pictures was begining to struggle taking pictures of my main interest ,that of rugby. I had no hesitation at going for another Fuji and at first looked at the impressive S9500 but eventually decided against this camera basically on its size. The S5600 has many of the features of its bigger brother but in a much smaller unit.The camera is small being only 113.5mmx85mmx112mm and ... more

    5 Stars An outstanding camera at a good price 18/02/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great value, 10 x zoom and quality 5 megapixel images

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Camera is too large to fit into handbag etc

    I've owned three digital cameras in my time, and in terms of picture quality and the capabilities of the zoom feature, this camera is by far the best, and worth every penny. I'd recommend it very highly to anyone needing a high quality camera with a powerful zoom action - but it won't fit into a handbag! The camera looks like an SLR Camera (though it isn't), and some people may be put off by the size of the camera, which is 11 by 11 by 8 cm. However, the quality of the camera far offsets the slight disadvantages of the camera size. For starters, the camera takes pictures at a range of settings ... more

    5 Stars Outstanding value camera from Fuji 12/02/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages 10 times optical zoom plus 5.1 megapixels, substantial solid casing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The large size may put some people off

    I've owned three digital cameras in my time, and in terms of picture quality and the capabilities of the zoom feature, this camera is by far the best, and worth every penny. The camera looks like an SLR Camera (though it isn't), and some people may be put off by the size of the camera, which is 11 by 11 by 8 cm. However, the quality of the camera far offsets the slight disadvantages of the camera size. For starters, the camera takes pictures at a range of settings up to 5.1 megapixels. This quality image could easily be enlarged to A3 or even A2 without any problem from pixelisation (when the ... more

    5 Stars Perfect for Amateur Photography 26/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages SLR features, easy to use, compact

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Uses a lot of batteries

    I got this camera for Christmas 2006 as I wanted a better camera for amateur photographer. This camera has been perfect for me. It is a normal camera with SLR technology, at an affordable price. The reaction time is fast, so much faster than my previous standard digital camera, that I was amazed. I was able to capture what I wanted when I wanted, which worked perfectly, considering I mainly photograph horses show jumping! The optical zoom is also fantastic, allowing fantastic close up shots, without any compromise on the image quality! I think my favourite feature is the opportunity to either ... more
