This Fujifilm camera is one of the best cameras there is. I wanted to buy a little brother for my Fujifilm Finepix S5100, so I decided to buy this baby. It is very small, so you can take it with you anyplace you go (unlike its big brother) and it is an excellent low light / indoors camera (unlike its big brother, again). It has excellent resolution, and vivid colors Fujifilm is famous for. I really like taking snapshots in the evening and by night, and this camera makes this possible without having to use any tripod. ISO800 is very noise-free, and ISO1600 is usable (with small print dimensions with no post-processing; if you want larger prints you should run a noise-reduction filter in Photophop). It's a great deal for your money! And, the batery life is incredible.
Problems:
Not many:
1. Occasional red-eye (but you can set ISO to higher levels, let's say 800 and avoid it),
2. high contrast in daylight shots (but you can use flash and get more details in the shadows),
3. Noisy focusing in dark.
