Opinion: Just sold my Fujifilm S602z (disappointed camera) on Saturday and bought a Nikon 5700. Tested it out some shots and so much better than S602z in terms of picture quality, more features, able to take in low light area (that's the most important thing that I'm looking for). The S602z can't take a good shot in the low light area and the picture always comes out blur, unless if tripod stand is used.

The construction of the camera is very good with firm hand grip. My wife loves it very much compare to the S602 the camera is slightly bulky with bigger hand grip. The camera body is made of magnesium alloy and looks very solid.

Anyway, there's a lot more to explore on this camera, will get back soon to list out some pro and cons on it. The thick instruction manual will keep me busy reading it.

Problems: Unable to get the lens adapter ring in my country (Singapore) as it have not ship in yet. Hope to get one in the fews weeks time.

Opinion: What a camera! The quality is great ONCE you practice with all of the settings. The SLR feel is true, and the buttons and dial are true to SLR. So sit back, get comfortable with the camera, and then enjoy the quality, zoom, macro, and color of the CP5700.

Opinion: A great camera for all from macro-shots too action photography. The great 8x lens, great grip, good battery-stamnia, razorsharp EVF and nice turn&schivel LCD. All in all a great camera, in a nice, little packing!

Problems: Dont like the motorized zoom too much, would prefer a ordinary zoom-ring. And a filtre thread!

Opinion: I love this camera, it has tons of features and image quality as per my expectations.

I will post a link to site containing few images as soon as I post them... probably today.

Make sure to get additional storage card (128 or higerh) and battery.

Problems: Slow lens - taking pictures inside of buildings with low light is not what it should be.

Considering the lens the camera comes with, I think there will be limited number of add on lenses (I already picked up the Wide converter .8) and will pick up Tele 1.5 next week or so.
