Hello, today I let fall my old (but dear) camera and hmmm... I've to buy a new one (the shipping for the mending would exceed the price of a new and better one!) So I would like to know if some of you use the Fuji Finepix S5000, because it's one of the cameras I could buy. What do you think of it ? In France it's very cheap for a camera of this category. It's sold the same price as a Canon Powershot A95 or a Nikon Coolpix 5200 : about 450 euros. But the Fuji is a 5 mega-pixels and has a 10x otpical zoom (against 3x zoom on the canon and the Nikon) Does this price hides a trap ? What interresses me in first place is the optical zoom. The Konica Dimage Z3 has 12x one and the Powershot S1 a 10x zoom. Both are more expensive than the Fuji (respectively 500 and 550 euros) but are they really better ? I could afford the Konica, but the Canon is a bit too much... Thanks for your help, and say a little prayer for my dead Toshiba... Sam
