Fujifilm FinePix S5600 Review

Fujifilm FinePix S5600TrustedReviews reviews the FinePix S5600, the SLR-style ultra zoom digital camera from Fujifilm.

As you may recall, I was very enthusiastic in my praise for the superb Fujifilm FinePix S9500 back in October. Well it’s been a while, but I’ve finally got around to taking a look at its kid brother, the S5600. The S9500 is a tough act to follow, so can junior keep up?

Launched in July 2005, The S5600 (also known as the S5200 for the US market) is based on the successful S5500 launched the previous year. It is available from a number of online retailers for under £200, which is remarkably cheap considering the specification. It is a five megapixel camera featuring Fujifilm’s advanced SuperCCD HR sensor and acclaimed Real Photo image processing engine, coupled with a powerful 38-380mm equivalent (10x ) optical zoom lens, and the promise of top quality pictures even at high ISO speeds.

It gets a ten out of ten in value, but still only manages to walk away with a eight out of ten as a final rating as the image quality gets a seven out of ten on TrustedReviews rating scale.

  1. FinePix S5600. Authoritative camera. Impressive potential and good specifcations, but the layer designated to expose all the capabilities of the camera - the firmware - is, unfortunately, mediocre. Sometimes you try to understand why some function is implemented so inconveniently… But there is no answer… A sensible answer.

    Constantly experiencing significant inconvenience we have decided to appeal to FujiFilm corporation with a request to release a firmware upgrade for this camera. We do not ask to change or add anything that requires a serious hardware modification. We only ask to give us a chance to reveal the full potential of the product through a more convenient and powerful agent between the camera and its user — the firmware. The camera deserves it. It is highly capable. Help us.
