Do a bit of arial photography, and after upgrading from cheap microtech unit ( Well same price really) I found this S5800 to be perfect for the job. It's strange, but megapixels seem to come in different quality, because the 2 camera's were both 8 megapixels...but the quality of the Fuji out shines the Microtech 100 fold. Go figure! The other thing I like about this unit is the digital zoom...it is absolutely genuine and perfect for long distance. For example of the zoom, I spotted 2 ducks way out in the field and thought I would test it for quality and zoom. These ducks were mere spots in the distance. I slid zoom to full, and snapped them. After downloading and viewing I was able to see the eyeballs of those critters as plain as day. I latter stepped out the distance...approx 260 meters. Wow...for the price this is much better than average. I have absolutely no reserve in recommending this 5800 Fuji to the average user. Well done Fuji.
