I've seen trail cameras on tv and always wanted one.  I wanted a good one that was easy to use.  This one fits the bill perfectly.  Very easy to use.  Takes great pictures and videos.  I use this in my suburban backyard to record the wildlife.  It's fun to retrieve the SD card and see what came along the night before.

I first bought this camera after doing a ton of research.  I wanted something easy to take around with me to take pictures of my kids.  This camera is great.  Works well in all different lighting situations. It is quick in between shots.  Image stabilization helps reduce blur.

My only draw back is in low light the flash is to much.

All in all I was happy enough with it that after our latest vacation we got sand into our camera and it would no longer work so I bought a new one off e-bay.

I did more research and why spend more money on a camera that isn't as good as this one

Absolutely love this camera.  I have previously had the Sony DSC-H50 and then tried the Panasonic FZ200 and the Canon SX520.  This camera is easy to use, is fast to start, and takes really good photos in low light and really good photos in good light.

I bought this camera in July, 2007. I inserted the batteries that they came with and used the camera during 2 weddings and a vacation, taking over 300 pictures. I was very impressed by that. The pictures are very clear and sharp. I use Shutterfly which says the pictures can print up to 20x30! I haven't had the chance to try other features, I mostly stick to Auto, with and without the flash.  It is truly an easy camera to use!

UPDATE--Aug, 2008--I recently just used the video feature on the camera for the first time and it is amazing. The picture is clear and crisp and the sound quality is excellent. I was very pleasantly surprised. I would recommend this camera to anyone. It is always in my purse and I use it often.

I've used this camera a lot since I have purchased it. I love it, the battery life is great, the video comes out very clear. It's simple to use right out of the box. The only thing I wish was it had internal memory

This camera is wonderful.  I would give it 10 starts if I could.  Awesome picture with and without the flash.  We we just in Italy and toured many churches and historical sites that did not allow flash.  This little camera took the best pictures, they did not dark or distorted at all.  The panoramic feature was fun and we captured many great shots as well using the panoramic feature.  The screen without the viewfinder was great and I did not even wish I had a viewfinder at all.  The lens cover was just fine.  I know others said they had a problem with sliding the cover, but unless you just coated your hands with vaseline it is a non-issue.  Best of all, my family is now getting this camera because they saw first hand what it could do.  They stopped taking pictures with their cameras and will get copies of the pictures I took with my camera.  This camera blew me away. I love to show it to others.  The video feature looked great too.  Sony- I would be a great spokesperson for this little camera alongside Taylor Swift.

I love this camera. I am and older woman in her my 60's and not good with all the new technology. This camera was easy to learn how to use and it takes great photographs.

I love this camera and all of it's features. I'm not good with cameras at all and have found this easy to use (never have opened manual) and I'm able to capture wonderful pictures. I especially love the gourmet and panaramic modes. The gourmet mode although for food takes very detailed photos. I got some beautiful Christmas tree photos using that mode. Oh and the skin feature is so cool! It automatically clears people's complexions :)

It's true test will be Disney World fireworks which I always have struggled getting perfect shots with other cameras in the past. I have a feeling this one will get me some good shots.

My only complaint would be I wish the software allowed for more editing than what it does which is hardly anything.

I absolutely love this camera! I did lots of research into the digital camera realm and finally decided on the Fujifilm S5000. This camera takes GREAT pics. It is so easy to use right out of the box. It is perfect for an amateur, but has lots of SLR type features for those wanting to experiement into the technical stuff. I haven't even began to delve into the more indepth features. I have taken all of my pics on automatic. The only thing I do change from occasion is the megapixel quality (1MP, 2MP, or 3MP) and the ISO features (200/auto, 400, & 800). Before deciding to go digital, I was looking at a SLR camera, but wasn't impressed with the picture quality. At first I was hesitant to go digital because I knew that I wouldn't want to print the pics off on my printer and I didn't want lots of pics on my computer slowing it down. Then, I discovered the many online digital photo processing sites (i.e. Shutterfly, Ofoto, Snapfish).
While I loved the features of the camera, the deciding factor as to whether or not I'ld keep the camera was how they turned out in print. One word...WOW! These pictures were as clear and crisp as my 35mm camera (which by the way is also a Fujifilm). Also, the pictures that I took on 3MP quality, can be printed off as large as 16x20. I am so excited that I've finally decided on my new camera!
As far as the cons I listed...the flash does not popup automatically. However, there is a green blinking light that will remind you that you need the flash. And as far as the 16MB included card. Fuji could have sprung for at least a 32MB card. You definitely will need to get a larger xD style card, however, I found a 256MB card for a really good price (well under retail) on a popular auction site. Some cons I have read is that you will need to buy a battery charger. However, this camera takes regular AA batteries and I am still using the ones that came with the camera. Environmentally speaking, I suppose I should use rechargable batteries. But for now, I'll just have regular AA's on hand.

I LOVE THIS CAMERA!!! I have had several digital cameras and this is by far the best! My husband got it for me for Christmas and I use it every chance I get. The camera captures the smallest of details to add that special touch to each picture. I also like that when you take a picture and the subject moves a little you don't get that trailing or blurrness that you get from other digital cameras. The batteries also last longer in this camera. I am still trying to figure out some of the other many features that this camera offers but that is all the more fun for me, I enjoy taking pictures and I am so excited to be using this one!!!!!!!
I Highly RECOMMEND THIS CAMERA. Great for the average everyday individual

I totally love this camera. It is easy to use. It takes some awesome pictures too. I am a blogger and I use this camera like almost daily. I do take pictures and upload them on my IG. The pictures I took using this camera looks professional and got tons of compliments from friends and family.
In addition, the camera is light compare to the Canon DLSR. I used to have Canon camera, and I have to bring a bigger bag in order for the Canon camera to fit. The Sony camera is more smaller and lighter thats why I bought this because I am getting tired of Canon. Canon also makes my neck sore because it is a little in the heavier side.
In conclusion, this camera is so worth my investment.

What a great camera!!!!! I'm not a camera expert but this is perfect for me. It has a lot of features that I have fun working with and enough that I can grow into. It also has interchangeable lenses which was a must and doesn't feel like I have a Sherman tank around my neck. Overall, I would recommend this camera to my friends and am looking forward to some new lenses!

This is a very nice camera for us that don't want to read a manual before we begin taking those exciting shots.  I found it extremely user friendly and the zoom is WONDERFUL!  I have an 18 month granddaughter that is very busy and does a lot of funny things FAST and this camera can keep up with her and that is saying a lot! I also have a Nikon D60 that I use but actually prefer the L100. I read all the reviews that Amazon.com offered before I purchased it and they all hold true.  I am using a Sandisk 4GB ULTRA II Secure Digital SD HC Memory Card and really like the additional speed.  The video mode is also GREAT...so both thumbs up with this purchase---I also purchased the same camera for my daughter.

Love my new camera that replaced my old 8 year old Sony camera.  This one is lighter, thinner, super easy to use, that my 8 year old grandson was using it with ease.  Lots of usage for the holidays.  Great reasonable priced camera as well.  Highly recommend.
