Hi everyone, I'm new to photography, and I'm scratching my head about which camera to buy. The Fujifilm S5800 goes for $399 at the IT Show, while the S8000 is going for $499. I have read very rave reviews about the predecessor, S5700, but I'm not sure if that camera's quality will carry over to these 2 models.
Do you think it is a worthwhile purchase to get a S5800, especially seeing as there's nobody else using it?
Just some background information: I currently have a Casio QV-R61, but I hope to start learning about Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and full manual photo taking with a cheap and good camera. The camera should be able to keep the noise down at ISO 800, just like the S5700.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
