Fujifilm Finepix S5100

[adamhaulena]

Hi all I'm new here. I'm about to put out an order for a Fuji Finepix S5100, and I've been doing a lot of research about it, and reading a lot of the reviews for the S5000, as I suppose it is a relatively new camera. Does anyone have any thoughts about this camera, and there was a lot of complaint about the manual focus, has this issue been resolved? And are the pictures of good quality? A lot of questions, but I appreciate answers.

Also, I am offered these three other cameras (this camera is coming from visa points, so free!)

Canon Powershot A75, and A80
Fujifilm Finepix E500

Is the S5100 a better buy? I'd like to be able to get into some macro work, which I think is a great ambition. Anyways, thanks a lot.

Adam

I was looking for something like this forum, but without luck, I guess I didn't look long enough.
