Trusted Reviews wrote a review on the
Fujifilm Finepix S5700 and said: "The Fujifilm S5700 is an
amazing bargain. It has style, good performance, manual exposure
options, excellent low-light ability and fantastic handling, and
tops it off with good image quality. That you can get a camera
this good for under £130 is simply astonishing. If I could, I
would give it 11 out of 10 for value."
Fujifilm Finepix S5700 News Release Summary:
Fujifilm upgrades EISA award-winning SLR-style family camera
with new FinePix S5700
Fujifilm is pleased to announce the new FinePix S5700, a
refinement of the FinePix S5600, voted "European Zoom camera of
2006-07" by EISA (the leading European association for consumer
electronics). The new model's compact and robust but lightweight
outer-shell, combined with Fujinon 10x optical zoom lens, ISO
1600 sensitivity, Fujifilm Intelligent Flash system and multiple
scene selections, make it a truly take-anywhere camera. Thanks
to an improved menu system and button layout, rocker zoom and
mode dial, the FinePix S5700 can be operated easily with one
hand.
The modifications to the FinePix S5700 mean it is easier to use
than anything that has gone before. It will be a faithful
companion for any and every event, from nights out or the kids'
school play or sports day, right through to countryside walks
and family holidays. It's the ultimate camera for every occasion
and perfect for users who always want a camera to hand, but
prefer to get creative, not technical, with their photography.
Key improvements of the FinePix S5700 over its predecessor
include:
- An enhanced ergonomic design of even smaller proportions,
which make the camera portable and easy to hold in one hand,
whilst retaining its powerful 10x optical zoom.
- ISO sensitivity up to 1600, guaranteeing crisp images, with no
need for flash, even on a night out or when snapping moving
subjects.
- The introduction of Fujifilm's Intelligent Flash and Natural
light plus Flash modes for images that are faithful to the
original scene, even when flash is required.
- 2.5-inch, 230,000-pixel screen, making it much easier for
users to compose, review and share images.
- Dual compatibility for Fujifilm's traditional xD-Picture Card™
and the popular Secure Digital (SD) card format, providing a
greater choice of storage options.
- 7.1 Megapixel CCD sensor
- An intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) system, which
guides the user through the menu via a series of pop-up prompts,
and an improved button layout, which mean the camera is easier
than ever to navigate.
The FinePix S5700's ISO 1600 sensitivity means photos can be
taken in low light, without flash, resulting in much more
natural looking shots that are closer in colour and tone to the
original scene. When flash is preferred, over-bright faces and
disappearing backdrops become a thing of the past thanks to the
introduction of Fujifilm's Intelligent Flash system, which
controls power output to achieve natural foreground illumination
with balanced background exposure. Natural light plus Flash mode
takes two photos in quick succession - one with, and one
without, flash. Both photos are then displayed side by side for
quick comparison so users will never again be left struggling
with flash settings long after the moment has passed.
The FinePix S5700 was developed with usability firmly in mind.
Thanks to its sturdy design and lightweight proportions it's
ideal for people seeking fun and point-and-shoot simplicity from
a camera that will produce top-quality images, no matter what
the subject. Users of all abilities can experiment with
different angles, subjects and distances and an array of special
scene modes, accessible for the first time via the FinePix
S5700's new mode dial, mean the right settings are just one
touch away. The camera's powerful zoom lens, with new 'rocker'
control for fingertip zooming, means nothing is out of its
reach.
The integrated Fujinon lens also means users will never have to
contend with dust on the sensor or need to invest in more
equipment. The lens itself is more compact than its
predecessor's, but retains the flexible zoom range from wide
angle to telephoto, enabling users to shoot from distance or
close up. A fixed lens housing also ensures fast start-up time
of just 1.1 seconds, so the moment will never be missed.
Fujifilm's Anti-Blur mode, which makes use of the camera's ISO
1600 sensitivity and an ultra-fast shutter speed combine to
combat the effects of subject and camera movement. For those
also keen to capture moving images, the FinePix S5700 has a
movie recording mode with sound, ideal for creating high quality
home movies without relying on a separate camcorder.

Adrian Clarke, Fujifilm's Director of Photo Products, commented,
"The FinePix S5700 represents the logical, but still impressive,
evolution for the S series. We have refined an award-winning
format, to give users even greater flexibility and freedom to
capture images in a wide variety of situations. We are confident
that this camera will once again set the standard for compact
SLR style cameras."
