£220




Aperture range F2.8 - F8.0

Isn't that extremely high? Must be a mistake I think...

get some decent rechargeables but yes camera's with Li ion battery's tend to last longer

What about the batteries Nismo? WHat do you use? Someone said that if you get recharable ones you can leave them in the camera and plug the camera straight into the mains but Im not sure if thats right?

A few people a while back said that the Fuji S5500 is a good camera for the money. Well Ive managed to get a few quid together and thinking of ordering it this week. The cheapest I can find is Ebuyer for £176.24 so I was just wondering if I should go for this one or are there any alternatives out there that are worth looking at? My only concern is the 4xAA's it uses as every camera Ive ever had has used a rechargable battery which you can plug straight into the mains or docking station. Is it really a problem or are rechargable AA's fine?

Review of camera can be found here http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilms5100/

Thanks for any help
