Customer Reviews

No lens Cover
Very Good Camera... however I did not get a lens cover that was suspose to be included... contacted the seller and was told one would be shipped out.. Still have not received the cover. Not satistied without the lens cover for this camera. I have sentseveral e-mails trying to contact the seller with no response.

Great deal for the money
A friend had this camera - we were so impressed we found it used for about $150. Shoots pictures FAST and has a great zoom. Since we seem to destroy a camera in about a year - no sense paying $500 for the latest model.

Fuiji Finepix S5200- Great Camera even for beginners
I love this camera. This camera is the best camera I have ever used. It does night shots, sports/action shots, zooms in 10x. I have owed it for over 4 years. At first I bought it to take photos of my Siamese kittens. I get perfect shots with no red eyes. The Fuiji lens is terrific for taking pictures of animals w/o eye glare. This camera also has manual settings for more experienced users. I am in a college photo class (B & W film) and was able to use this camera to aid in the film shots.
I cannot say enough good things about this camera. We used it to document pregnancy and after our son was born, soccer games, wildlife shots, flowers and butterfly pictures. I have used it to take pictures of my dashboard in my new van and the pictures come out great. It takes good video clips. I bought a lemon.

I unfortunately have to replace this camera. I paid 380.00 for it new and 99.00 for the 1GB XD memory card. That was over 4 years ago though. I just order the Fuiji S8100fd to replace this camera. This is more advanced camera w/ 10 megapixels. After using this camera w/o any problems I will always replace it with another Fuiji. They are really good cameras. It has been dropped on pavement and it still worked. It also fell off kitchen table and still worked. (Not recommended) It is a pretty tough camera. I have 3 children. My 14 year old uses this camera also. I wish I didn't forget thsi camera in the diaper bag with a leaky sippy cup of milk.
