Fuji FinePix S5100

Comments:
The FinePix S5100 ($399) is an updated version of Fuji's popular S5000 ultra zoom camera. The biggest change here is that Fuji has left the SuperCCD sensor behind in exchange for a traditional 4 Megapixel CCD. Other features on the S5100 include a 10X zoo

Review Verdict: I'm a big fan of cameras that use AA batteries. Rechargeables like those included with the S5100 cost much less than their proprietary counterparts, and you can use alkaline batteries to get you through the day when your rechargeables run out of juice
