A NEW FUJI CAMERA

I have had my eye on this camera since July when mine developed a nasty fault that killed off 80% of the functionality. Because it is still working I find it hard to justify buying a new one, except of course that if it completely dies on me in New York on Saturday I may be a little more than irate to say the least! But when I first started tracking this 3 months ago, it was £30 dearer so in theory if my patience holds out another 15 months I may be able to pick up one for free! Well - that would be nice. I guess the alternative would be to go down the DSLR route but I remember how things were in the old days - 3 bodies, 6 lenses, millions of filters, 2 flashes, a tripod and generally a very sore back as I walked around with all this swinging from my neck. So I think I will resist for now - after all the finepix range (this would be my third) offers great quality and are less than half the price of an SLR so I can legitimately replace them more often.

Too late – I know she took a brand-new S5600 to New York...
But otherwise I agree with you, I think. I just got a new mobile with a great 3 megapixel camera, which is great for the spontaneous unplanned photos, and I'm still waiting for my new Sony A100 to arrive, which I hope will be wonderful for the planned photos. But I guess there might be enough for cameras like the S5600 inbetween.
