Summary: Excellent camera on par with a DSLR
Comment: I've owned this camera for close to a year now and was taking pictures with it again today and had to write this review, because every time I take pictures with it, I'm amazed by the quality of the pictures! I also have a DSLR (Olympus E510), but I still think the Fuji wins with the Olympus on several things (I got the Olympus only because it's got a bigger sensor that can easily accommodate its 10 megapixels; also wanted to see if there's something that can beat this Fuji). The Fuji has a much bigger zoom (and you don't have to change lenses), which is sharp and with a very good focus, and, what I consider a big plus, it has a Chrome setting for pictures. Set your pictures to chrome and see what a difference in color this setting makes. Of course, it depends if you want pretty pictures or if you want pictures that accurately reflect what you see. Either way, you will not get disappointed with this camera! And you'll love the manual zoom - the lens is superb! Oh, and one more thing - take pictures on the manual setting - the auto setting is fine too but you'll get much better results with the manual (don't be afraid, it's really easy!). It's also pretty light and fits well in hand. It's an overall great prosumer camera that easily competes with much more expensive DSLRs!

Comment: I don't think Fujifilm is doing a good job on the marketing of this product because it is like the hidden treasure of medium-budget cameras. I found about it only after a very careful and long research on the internet. There are some very good web sites where you can compare same photos shot with different cameras. Find those web sites and see how great camera this is (this is known as s6500fd in Europe). Canon 5S IS is considered to be the closest competitor to this camera, it's much more expensive than this one, but you will see that even in lower ISOs it takes worse photos. S6000fd is far better than all the digital non-DSLR cameras I have compared, and even better than some cheap DSLRs in some areas. We shouldn't compare it to DSLRs really, but when you do compare it to a DSLR that is twice as expensive, you will be surprised to find out that in some areas 6000fd takes better photos.
A few things you need to be aware though: This is not a point-and-shoot camera and it takes terrible photos on Auto mode. But... Just use the P mode, turn the chrome mode on and fix ISO on 100 or 200... That's all... It now does a better job then all point and shoot cameras... Want more than that? Then be patient and read the manual. It's fun to experiment and play with different options as well.
Another thing, it's not a pocket size camera. Having said that, it's not heavy at all. The weight and the size actually feels just right when you take a photo. A bit difficult to carry around though.
But I was really tired of digital photos that looked like paintings, and this was what the doctor ordered. Crystal clear, sharp photos, perfect colors, still look like real photos on larger prints rather than paintings. If I ever get another camera, it will have to be an expensive DSLR. Only that could compete with this one and be something out of this camera's league. In the meanwhile, I will enjoy s6000fd.

Comment: I bougth this camera in replace of a sony point and shot camera. My idea was get a camera whit more zoom and better quality in pictures taked at night and low light rooms. When I saw the reviews, some people said that there was problems with pictures and they saw that have blur, but many people said that the camera is good. Then I bought it and I took a couple weeks to read manuals and make the adjustments to get excellent pictures. This is the camera that I was searching, and by the price is an excellent option.

Summary: great camera
Comment: I bought this camera because I love to scrap and had a hard time getting great prints from far away. This camera is very good for the money and I use it like crazy. When I first got the camera it took me a while to get used to all the different settings. I would suggest rechargable batteries though because they don't last long in it.

Comment: I gave this camera as a Christmas Gift -- the person receiving it was very happy and seemed to feel it was received in good condition. There are numerous parts and will take a little time to put everything in order
before using it.
