Just got a new camera...

wow! thats good! the S5700 and the S700 are the same camera.
what settings are you using to get such great shots??


I'm still on default settings at the moment, but using manual focus instead of autofocus
 
I just ordered one on line because of your pictures. Thanks!
 
Is it a Fuji Finepix S5700 or a S7500?

S5700- it was £170 in the UK but has recently come down to £89 (can't convert that to dollars at the moment because the exchange rate changes by the minute!). I'm well impressed by the camera but seriously unimpressed with how difficult it is to transfer photos from the camera to my hard drive :crazy:.
 
how does it do when the fish are moving? does it blur the photo? our goldfish move all the time, its really hard to get a good pic of them. it always blurs.

I haven't played with shutter speeds and apertures yet, but it seems to produce sharp pictures if you pan the fish (the lemon-finned barb is travelling pretty fast in the bottom picture). There is about a 1 second delay before the picture is taken with flash, which isn't ideal, but it's much better than the 3 second delay on my Nikon.
 
was that picture taken with the flash?
