Same here, I dropped my trusty Kodak  290(my first digital camera), and just
got lucky and picked the Finepix S5000.  Riding sportbikes is my hobby, but
after having this Finepix S5000 for about a week, I find myself wanted to
take picture rather than ride my sporbike! :)  That's bad. Don't have money
enough for another hobby.

Get the Finepix 3800,S5000 or the S7000, IMO, you can't go wrong, either
being a novice like me, or a expert.

ceh
Finepix S5000
