Re: Fuji S2, S3 or S5 PRO?? Assistance Needed!

Hi everyone,

i went to the used camera show this morning, and i found ZERO, 0, ZIPPO, NADA, no Fuji S5 cameras whatsoever, not even an S3.  I was very disappointed.

The are nome S5 on craigslist around my area either, the only ones are in ebay.  Have any of you or would you buy a camera on ebay?  I am very scared to do that!

The second option is to just buy my friend's S3 with around 20-30K actuations for $200 dollars.  My main concern about the S3 is the VIEW FINDER, is the view finder really that smaller from the S5???  Will i notice a BIG difference between let's say, a D7000 which i just sold recently.

I know about three years ago i bought a Nikon D60 and i returned it the next day because that view finder was a JOKE!  Way too small!  Is the Fuji S3 viewfinder as small as a D60 let's say??

Will appreciate your suggestions and thoughts on this
