Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Digital Cameras
Despite what "certain electronic" retails store workers told me about the brand Fuji as I tried to purchase a camera from them, this Fuji Finepix S5100 is better then I expected. It has great features that Professionals and Beginners alike can use with easy acess. One of the key things to look at would be the quick shutter speed that this machine is capable of and the digital options that are available in the menu settings. I give credit where credit is due to this fuji and so will you. Why pay almost $300 more for another camera when this one is up to parr with the competition. Fuji has outdone themselves and this is the result, a high sufisticated camera with many functions and versitility for much less. Not satisfied with the angle range?,you can always update and purchase the lens capacity of your choice, many are available online for this camera at very resonable prices. I added a telephoto lens its amazing how much better it captures the images. You dont need a additional lens but if you decide to buy it, it will expand the over all quality. Dont take my word for it buy a Fuji Finepix S5100 and see for yourself. |Key notes to consider before you purchase: 1. Its unexpensive and has alot to offer 2. Its smaller and more compact than most cameras of this caliber 3. Lens are unexpensive and available everywhere and online.Read full review
I have purchased 3 of these because they are easy to use and great for someone just getting started. I bought one for my granddaughter for her High School digital photography class. This camera also takes nice video clips. The camera is overall a nice step into digital photography, however, it is now becoming outdated. Though these shipped with a 16mb xD Card they can use the 1G xD Card. Thats a lot of photos. The xD cards are increasingly harder to find. Wal-Mart quit carrying them. After owning this for several years the batteries don't last as long. It is easy to download the photos to any USB capable cpu. I have taken about 20,000 photos on my original Fuji so it was time for a less used one to replace it. I am very pleased with this model~
Likes: I bought a used S5100 and have been very happy with the overall function. It has simple to use controls, good zoom - 10x optical, with a built in flash unit and uses 4 - AA batteries. Video works great, it takes the XD card it can use the 1G or 2G xD Card. Thats a lot of photos. The xD cards are small and easy to store and carry. Great little camera. I like the camera for it`s overall features.

Video works great, but takes lots of storage on the XD card. Great little camera. Dislikes, I have man hand, so size is small, the display is small, and the battery door plastic holding tabs are easy to break. I like the camera for price, usually sell for under $70, but will update to a S5200 or newer for larger display and more megapixels.
i really like the camera !! what i love about it- it is a slr- you are looking thru the actual lens- not thru a viewfinder !! as a photographer i only like using slr's that i can change the lenses on, and that i can use special effect filters on. i have bought a wide angle lens and a telephoto lens, and have bought numerous filters for it. we bought one for ourself, showed it to the neighbor- he said if it was good enough for us, then he wanted one too. so, he bought one too. and then a friend who has known us for 30 years, and has seen my work, said if anyone knows about cameras that it was me, and if i said it was a great camera, then he wanted one exactly like mine too. i have no complaints about it- it is exactly what i wanted !!
Does not look abused in any way. Everything functions as it should except the battery door. A small piece of black plastic has broken off the interior body of the camera and the battery door does not latch securely. I see a risk of the batteries falling out !

This is my fourth FujiFilm camera. I use it as a backup camera for my Fuji-S9100. Perfect for taking all around photos with little concern for power. The 4 AA batteries come in quite on time when you do not want a charger in the mix. Also have a couple of Nikons for still shooting but the Fuji's with their cci chip is the best all around.
Great Camera, fast response and easy to use. It has aged well. I prefer it to 8MP models from the same company.

I had one and dropped it and broke the set control. Would have cost $100 or more to repair so bid this camera, Fuji FinePix S5100 on ebay and happy to have a working camera again. This model has an excellent lens and even though only 4 Megapixel, it still takes excellent digital photos. Very good in low light also.
We purchased this camera for our eBay business and are thrilled with it. It is easy to use and takes clear crisp pictures for us. I am not camera savvy so I appreciate being able to use the auto settings. The only negative I can find for this camera is that it is sensitive to movement. We use it on a tripod though so we don't struggle with blurred pictures.
