What owners like
Fujifilm FinePix S5200 works best when you want zoom-first daylight travel, casual events, and far-away subjects without carrying an interchangeable-lens kit rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its 1/2.5-inch Super CCD HR and 38 - 380mm equivalent are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
What to compare
Compare it with Nikon COOLPIX L100, Canon PowerShot SX260 HS, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200, Kodak PIXPRO AZ528 to decide whether you want this exact body, a cheaper nearby compact, or a slightly more capable alternative.
