I'm in the process of deciding on which camera to buy. I have narrowed the field down to two, The Kodak dx6490 and the fuji s5000. I have read reveiws and talked to camera shops about both. Now, who has the fuji s5000 and how do you like it. Thanks in advance for the help!!!!

I don't have a Fuji,but I just bought the Kodak DX6490 on Saturday.I hope I made the right choice.

My buddy bought a Fuji S5000 and like it..

I have a Olympus C-750..I like mine better..

the new canon s1 about 500 bucks ...

don't know much about the fuji's , but the kodak line is very user friendly, excellent for not so tech minded people, but i have to agree having had a few different camera's, i definately think my olympus takes the best pics...

I've had my Olympus C3020 for a few years now and love it. Great pics and easy to use.
Sorry... no experience w/ kodak or fuji.

a better camera than the 5000 and they have a $100 rebate on it.
I didn't know squak about cameras. But I had a S602 zoom and loved it. My buddy wanted a camera so I sold my 602 to him and bought the s7000. It's a good camera and I paid $422 after rebate.

Read on the 7000 or the 5000 or the F700 (just like the 7000 but has only 3x zoom and the 5 and has 6x optical zoom. My girlfriend has the F700 and I have the 7000. We are a Fuji family.

RWS - I have talked to several camera shops about the DX6490. Not one of them had much good to say about the kodak company. The camera itself is a good buy, in the price range group that it is in. The problem lies in service after the sale and after the warranty runs out. That is where I have concerns. The two cameras that I have selected have simular features. the Fuji is about $100.00 cheaper and Fuji doesn't have the special battery issues.

Thanks for the input, gang!

You won't go wrong with either. They both are fine cameras

I think you should take a look at the new Canon A75 which may not be on the market for another month. but looks like a great 3+mp camera.
