Advantages: High Quality Images, Clear Zoom, User Friendly

Disadvantages: Slightly bulky, but who cares about that

This is quite an amazing piece of kit. The Fuji S5000 boasts quality. It even feels like an SLR, although don't be confused, it isn't! I have bought Fuji cameras for quite sometime, they always seem to deliver and to be quite honest, I've always found them to be the most user friendly cameras around.
I am not a professional photographer, but this camera makes you feel like one. The quality of the images is just unbelievable. They are sharp, clear, very life-like. Whether its scenery, people, macro shots or just plain fun snapping, the images are super. It's difficult to take a bad picture with this camera. The optical zoom is fantastic. It has 10x optical zoom and 2.2x digital zoom, in total thats 22x zoom. Don't be fooled by cameras stating they can zoom rediculous times like 100x zoom, because digital zoom doesn't really mean anything, digital zoom is just magnifying the digital image, optical zoom is literally zooming in with a lense before the photo is taken. If you are going to be using the camera for a lot of zoom shooting, I suggest getting a tripod for your camera as a steady hand is needed!
This camera also features a movie mode and sound recording mode, I was very impressed by the quality of the movies as normally they are very poor when built into digital cameras, also they sound recording is very clear for a product of this nature.
This camera has far too many features to mention, but at the same time it is very user friendly, if you are the first time photographer, you will be able to pic this camera up and take great photos in seconds, if you are a professional photographer there is plenty of features for you to play about with.
For the price you are paying, this camera is a must buy. I have yet to find a fault with it!
