This camera came in handy while shooting my daughter playing sports. Indoor volleyball doesn't allow for a flash so the ISO 1600 was a life saver. Has sveral shooting modes including aperture priority and shutter priority. I was able to capture the bat hitting the ball in siftball games.

This is my second Fujifilm Finepix camera.  The first one I wore out I used so much.  The picture quality speaks for itself - when you say a picture is worth a thousand words, it's true when you're looking to compare cameras.  You've gotta get to a store and take pictures to see for yourself the quality.  All the specs in the world doesn't always make the difference like seeing the quality for yourself. The best features of my camera are the quick and easy to access settings (like for low light or sports shot).  Auto is pretty much what I use but the other options are at my fingertips if I need to access them quickly.  The zoom is what I need. One of the things I don't like about the camera is it's size - it's not the most portable sized camera out there.  But quality to me makes up for that inconvenience.  The camera is very easy to use once you are familiar with all the functions.  It's proven to be good for me.

**The Fuji - FinePix S5200 10x Zoom Digital Camera w/ 5.1 mega-pixel is great for professional and every day use. The menu's are easy to locate and use.  You can use the auto settings or choose your own.  I love this camera and have used it on many occasions at my children's school for school book photos.   I've also taken Senior pictures. I'm also very happy with the video clip feature. I have never been disappointed in this camera. It's a great camera for when you more than just a point and shoot or when you are just starting to try for more professional photos.**

I bought my camera when it first came out, and I really enjoy using my Fujifilm FinePix S5200 camera.  I rarely leave home without it and It is fairly simple to use.  You basically set it on auto and shoot.  I have used the other settings also. Making a video is easy also. Make sure you have at least a 1 gig menory card in it. It is very easy to figure out how to look back at the pictures, change the batteries, take out the memory card, format it, etc. What I like best is that it uses double A batteries recharable batteries, easy on ones budget. I also like the idea that the lens cap is attached, since I have the habbit of losing things. This is a great camera for any level of user.. I love the how it handles close up shoots, which I do allot of them. I use my camera mostly to take wildlife photos, that I upload to my gallery at artzone,or to make textures for my 3d models clothing. All in all I give this camera 10 stars.

This is a wonderful camera.  It can be used as point and shoot or you can make manual adjustments.  With 18X optical zoom and 3 X digital zoom I can get good shots of my pet Prairie Dogs and the many birds that visit our feeder.

I love the flexibility and options on this camera. I purchased it as an extra to my collection. My 4 year old granddaughter wanted to use it. It took about an hour of her playing with it to figure out how it works. She took some great pictures. This is a great camera for any level of user.

I really enjoy using my Fujifilm FinePix S5200 camera.  It is fairly simple to use.  You basically set it on auto and shoot.  It is very easy to figure out how to look back at the pictures, change the batteries, take out the memory card, format it, etc., even for beginners like me.  I would say that the only problems that I have with it are that the shutter is just a little bit slow sometimes (such as when taking soccer pictures) and the flash is not great for night pictures.  Other than that I love it.  It comes with an attached lens cap cord which is great for me because I tend to loose the lens caps for my cameras.  It also has a strap so that I can carry it on my shoulder or around my neck.  It has a wide viewing screen so you can see pretty well how the pictures are going to turn out.  It does also have multiple settings including a record feature- how long it records depends on how much space you have in your memory card.  I enjoy the record feature because I can get still shots and video all with one camera rather than taking my video camera around for everything.  Great for outings with children where you want to capture their first moments.  The video quality is really good for this camera's capabilities.

Recently bought the fuji fine pix s5200 and we love it.  Its super easy to use, easy to load photos and takes really great pics. My 5 year old daughter used it (with supervision of course!!) at a local aquarium and some of her pics were better than mine!!

I purchased my Fuji as my second digital. The first was a Kodak Easy Share and it was ok but I was never overly pleased with it. The Fuji has just blown me away with the endless capabilities it offers as well as it's ease of use! Picture quality is fantastic and is every bit as good as my husbands expensive film camera that he uses for professional shots at weddings and such. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone who wishes to have consitant quality shots in almost all situations with ease of use. I could not be more pleased with it and the photos I took on my vacation to Cades Cove and Biltmore House speak for themselves. Check them out!
