Hello everyone..
I am thinking of buying a new photocamera. I now have a (don't laugh) Olympus C-450 Zoom. The problem is that i only can make "automatic" pictures, so accept from the angle and stuff like that i can't do anything. I really like photographing, so i want to do more. So now i have 250euro to buy a new camera (yeah, i am student so don't have that much) and wanted to buy another one. I think the Fuji Finepix S5600 is the one that is the best for me at the moment (i think). Does anyone has experience with this camera and can show me some photo's taken with it. I saw some pictures on the internet and already looked on dpreview and all the other sites. But still couldn't make up my mind.
Thanks in advance

...I won't laught because I've got the same cam as you :) and I'm totally agree that it's a good cam... but limitated in possibilities (particulary for manual mode and maybe zoom). I don't really know what cam could be good for you because I'm a student too and I can't change mine yet (so I don't really take the time to compare cam for the moment)... but I'll regulary look in his topic for answer ;)
Have a good day
NB: tips: For macro with this cam, use the "macro mode" and ... make the (optical) Zoom at the maximum (if you don't zoom the pic is not clear -used for id: 169841- ;) )

For extensive reviews on many cameras I advise to visit www.dpreview.com.

I have the s5500 and if its anything to go by the 5600 should be pretty good. Everything in my gallery was taken with it, Allthough i only just got into photography properly a week or so ago (ive had the camera for a few years just never bothered to Learn how to use it properly) So dont judge your decision solely on my photos lol
