    Product Description
    If you can?t decide whether to get a compact or a reflex camera, then the FinePix S5800 is just what you need! With the FinePix S5800, you can have the best of both worlds! This camera comes with a host of unique Fujifilm technologies, such as an 8-megapixel CCD sensor, ISO 1600 light sensitivity and a 10x optical zoom for pin-sharp shots even when you?re taking photos of moving subjects. The S5800 is also great for picking out details in the distance because its has a focal range going up to 380 mm, meaning everything from close-ups of flora and fauna to wide, sweeping landscapes are within its reach. You can access its range of scene modes and settings directly on its 2.5? LCD screen, and record all those special occasions such as graduations, weddings, family holidays and school sports days in complete confidence!

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent   July 29, 2008
    Callum Akhtar (Nottingham, England)
    I Recieved this camera today and it was much more than what i expected, i have recently grown more interest in photography and thought it was about the right time to buy a low end D-SLR at first and this is great for just that. for more casual hobbists this camera is great, especially if you just want the camera to do the lot for you on auto, also there are pre-set settings for such things like portrait, landscape, sport etc. also if you want to improve your photography knowledge and want to change different effects on your images then you can either change the mode to manual so that you determine all of the settings, apperture prority so that the camera automatically sets the appertuer and your change the other settings, or shutter prority which is the same bu it changes the shutter qutomatically obviously.


    5 out of 5 stars Compatible memory cards   July 28, 2008

    This camera can take both SDHC and XD flash memory cards.

    According to Wikipedia entries, these two types of card offer varying performance.

    The XD memory card has a theoretical maximum write speed of 4MB/s. However, the SDHC card offers up to 22.5MB/s.

    The Fujifilm documentation is vague about the compatibility of memory cards with this camera, but I can confirm that a Transcend Class 6 SDHC 8GB card is working fine in my S5800 camera.




    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Camera   July 21, 2008
    Mr. James Mcgovern (england)
    The S5800 is an excellent camera, with superb macro settings and built in modes so that you don't have to remember to change the exposure, shutter speed and flash for a night shot, for instance. Fantastic value for money, 5 stars!

    I purchased the S5800 last weekend(6/7/08) Have just received it. I must say it was very well packaged. It arrived when Amazon said it would, outstanding service and the price was unbleiveable. Amazon used the Home Network Delivery Couriers, which was great, you could track the parcel online. Having read some of the other reviews I was abit concerned about the manual being in French. I opened the box and found the manual and all other paperwork was in English, thank god, although the wife can speak and read french. The camera was very easy to setup, and within a couple of minutes I was ready to snap my first victim!. The 8.0 mega pixels raally make a difference from my old Fuji, being only 2.0 mega pixels. You can see a real depth and more sharper image. Its very comfortable to hold, with the capture button and zoom switch being in the same place. Its also nice to able to switch between the view finder and the 2.5" screen. I would not hesitate to recommend this camera or any of the Fuji range. One tip use the XD card the images seem more sharper and more depth of colour.


    5 out of 5 stars Absolutely great camera   July 5, 2008

    I bought this camera for my husband for his birthday, and he absolutely loves it. It is perfect for what he wants to do, which is just to enjoy photography without all the technical stuff. I was a little concerned at first because one of the other reviews said that the instruction manual was in French, but mine wasn't. The camera is extemely easy to use, and my husband has already taken many photos. it was well worth the price, and I believe this camera will last us well through the years. One of the things that most impressed my husband was the many different modes that you can take pictures in allows a lot of photographic ability and diversity. it definitely deserves 5 stars.
