I've been thinking of getting one, I was looking at a smaller model (The S5700) but I wanted slightly more control over things like focus and zoom.

I just wondered if anyone had any experience with the camera? I've read lots of reviews and most complain about the lack of image stabilization.

I'm not big on photography, I just want to get into it and want to go past the point-and-shoot cameras, but not onto SLR's.

I was looking into cameras a few months back, Lumix DMC FZ7 was the one I would have purchased but now a newer version is out Jessops.com - Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ8 Digital Camera (Black) - Jessops.com which I might consider again when I want a camera.

I've found this site to be very good with reviews TrustedReviews - Digital Cameras Index heres the link to the camera your looking at TrustedReviews - Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd

Thanks for the links man, really useful :good:

That Lumix looks quite nice, I don't want to stretch over £200 really - I'm hoping to speak to one of my friends soon as he's into photography and knows his stuff =]

Hehe, I spoke to a friend who's a photographer - he said they're pretty good.

I was playing around with the Super-Macro Mode and manual focus earlier:
