Hi dusty, the manual settings are pretty cool on the S5600, its not hard to use, i use the apperture priority mode most of the times, that gives you control over white balance, keeping the exposure auto.
its not difficult to use, but takes time getting used to. if you need to see what the pictures from this camera might look like, do a camera search on www.flickr.com

cheers!

wow, i knew Fuji was working on the S5700, after they
stopped
production of the S5600, as a S5600 user, i belive they have made changes
to the Auto mode on this camera which is bad at determining the
correct white balance for the picture.If they have increased the EVF
resolution then it will be beter working with manual focus.SD is a
cheaper option to XD though XD's are faster than SD's as serial
speeds increase, we might see a total phase out of XD's and CF's and
transflash cards.27MB internal memory is a plus, atleast you can test
shots without inserting an XD card and will save Fuji from the shame
of providing a 16.00 Mb XD card which i belive are more expensive to
produce because they have to be custom built.i will wait for it get
as cheap as the S5600 and i just, i mean just might buy it too.

yes it was the battery, he could have discharged it completely before daring to open the ipod.
this will not discourage us in any way :D
it was just a silly mistake.

ive always wanted Led's to replace those Cold Cathode Florescent Lamps in LCD backlights. i wonder what took them so long to realise this.Led's are brighter, consume less power,generate no heat, and stay on for a long time. way to go dudes!!!
