 Fujifilm FinePix S5200 review at Steves Digicams : Our good friends at Steves Digicams have published their review of the Fujifilm S5200 digital camera. The Fujifilm FinePix S5200 is equipped with 5.1 Megapixels, a 10x optical zoom (equivalent to a 38-380mm on a 35mm camera) and Fujifilm Real Photo Technology. Combining Fujifilm's new RP Processor, 5th Generation Super CCD HR sensor and Fujinon Lens Optics, the Fuji S5200 delivers ultra-high sensitivity (ISO 1600), faster operational speeds (start-up in 1.1 seconds; shutter lag at a mere 0.01 second) and reduced power consumption. With the addition of beam assist, the Fujifilm FinePix S5200 digital camera can focus up to 7.9 feet - even in low light conditions.

 Fujifilm S5200 - Ergonomics and Lens
According to Steve Digicams: "The ergonomics were great - this model really gives you that SLR feel with its large handgrip and lens barrel. Although it is not quite as compact as past models, I think it fits great in your hands, whether they're small or large. The various camera controls are placed well on the body and make for easy accessibility. Chromatic aberrations (purple fringing around highlights) are present, but were well controlled. The lens suffers with a bit of barrel distortion and pin cushioning at wide and tele."
Fujifilm FinePix S5200 camera - Steves Digicams review conclusion
Steve continues: "I was very pleased with the quality of its 5M Fine mode. Indoors it produced pleasing portrait shots, with good flash exposure, sharp facial and hair detail as well as natural skin tones. The AF system did an excellent job focusing in dim lighting, thanks to the very "cool" green Focus-assist illuminator. The only problem I found was that it is very bright and sometimes "blinds" your subject. The metering and white balance systems worked very well, produced well exposed images, that show very accurate color temperature. The 1.8-inch LCD display worked very well outdoors, but due to its reflective surface, there are still some angles that reflect the sun; this is when the EVF comes into play."
