Not being a photographer, I wanted a camera that would take good pictures without the need for all this aperture and shutter mallarky. This Fuji camera is it. It has all the complicated stuff there if you want it, and also has the simple point and shoot variety for the likes of me. It's not heavy, easy to hold and use, and the picture quality is outstanding. It turns on in under a second, takes continuous shots, the lcd screen is clear and large. The menu system is also easy to read and use. I can even take a good photee now. Thank goodness for Fuji and their technology. It's price at the begining of 2007 was £179, at this wonderful Amazon price and fast delivery, you cannot go wrong. Buy one now before they run out of stock.

Would be 5 star but for one thing
Had been thinking of getting this camera for some time as I have grown fed up with the 3x optical zoom on my previous camera. The first thing to say is that for those used to compact digital cameras this camera will seem very large. This means however that the LCD screen is very very good compared with most cameras and better still it has a very good LCD view finder which allows you to put the camera to your eye (much better for avoiding camera shake). I have just used this camera on a long weekend break to London. I am deeply impressed with the results. The camera's high light sensitivity (up to ISO 1600) allowed me to take clear and unblurred photos in the tube and in various museums etc where flash photography is not allowed. This feature also makes indoor photography in areas to big for a flash to illuminate a possibility. The ability to use SLR like manual control over shutter and aperture allowed me to take much much more professional looking photos with for example only the main subject in focus. For the price this camera is great value and for any but a real professional is all you would ever need. One note is avoid buying the Fuji case for this camera as it is a poor fit. Also worth finding a 46mm wide angle attachment for the lens, a UV filter is also worthwhile. Get a set of good quality high capacity AA rechargeable batteries as this camera does not use a special battery pack (I prefer devices which use easily replaceable standard cells).

The high end of the low end
i recently purchased the s5700, and i'm quite happy with it, it's a good deal for the price:

pros:
- takes good pictures in almost any lighting
- brilliant macro/super macro settings
- easy to operate
- has a lot of customizeable settings
- long battery life
- nice point and shoot camera
- easy to take care of
- even though it's made of plastic, in no way is it cheap plastic
- it fits in my hands really well. i have really small hands so i have no trouble holding it, and it's not too heavy. it balances itself well because of its design.
- nice, large LCD screen

cons:
- lens cap doesn't stay on very well
- changing the image to black and white in photoshop comes out grainy with a lot of noise
- the AF light is kind of annoying

because i'm not an expert photographer, but i want to take professional looking photos, i would reccomend the s5700. it's a really good deal for the price, if nothing else.
