This camera can be changed from a simple point-n-shoot your children will enjoy to a photographic tool that will satisfy the creative urges of a semi-pro (Steve's Digicams - 12/3/03)

Thumbs-up for the Fuji S5000, which offers good picture quality and a flexible feature set. The electronic viewfinder can be difficult to see in bright light. read original review

If you're looking for a long-zoom digicam with good color, great battery life, and great continuous-mode capture capability, the S5000 deserves a serious look. (Imaging Resource - 10/15/03)

The Fuji S5000 delivers "stellar" battery life and impressive image quality, but its pictures display higher than average image noise. read original review

While the 10x zoom is nice, the Fuji FinePix S5000 is hindered by a "fuzzy" viewfinder, slow manual focus, and "mediocre" image quality. read original review
