DigiCam Review has reviewed the Fujifilm FinePix S5600 / S5200 and writes - 'The Fujifilm FinePix S5600 is a good ultra zoom digital camera, better than it's predecessor, it's nice to see Fujifilm are developing and improving their digital cameras, rather than simply releasing the same camera with more megapixels. The easy to use camera offers very speedy performance, good battery life, a good camera body and controls, and good image quality, although with higher than average purple fringing, and slightly soft images. The high ISO settings may come in handy on occasion, at the cost of image quality. I would recommend this camera, especially to people who like it's SLR styling, and rubber body, as it is a good camera, and the cameras negatives are mainly minor complaints, but due to the very good competition, I would recommend having a look at some of the other ultra zooms featuring image stabilisation.'
Fujifilm today announces the launch of the FinePix S5600/S5200, the third generation of its powerful, mini SLR-style digital cameras with long zoom lens. Packed with features, including 10x optical zoom and Anti-Blur Mode, the FinePix S5200 is an impressive reworking of its popular predecessors.
Beneath its robust body lie the sensor enhancements that make the FinePix S5200 punch above its weight. Boasting a new 5th Generation five megapixel Super CCD HR sensor and Fujifilm‚s new Real Photo Technology, the FinePix S5200 has the power to capture large images with incredible clarity and detail in a range of lighting conditions.
Complete with an unrivalled sensitivity range from ISO 64 to ISO 1600, the camera makes it possible to achieve crisp photographs with minimal noise, even in very low light conditions. The Anti-Blur Mode, which exploits the cameras exceptional ISO capabilities, reduces blurring caused by movement of the user, as well as movement blur caused by the subject, making it much more effective than image stabilisation technology alone.
The camera‚s impressive 10x optical zoom has a fixed lens housing and covers all settings from wide to telephoto. It‚s ideal for amateurs and photography enthusiasts alike who want optical power but don‚t want to compromise with a heavyweight or bulky camera body. The fixed lens housing also ensures a lightning-fast start-up time and removes the risk of getting dust particles inside the lens or camera body.
The FinePix S5200 features a high-speed start up time of just 1.1 seconds and shutter lag has been minimised to 0.01 seconds. This, combined with a new automatic pop-up flash, means that you‚ll never miss out on the action.
Moreover, the camera offers 30fps movie capability with monaural sound, making it the perfect choice for those wanting to create high quality home movies without the need to carry a camcorder.
