New camera Anonymous
First, I'm a real newfag when it comes to cameras in general. I'm looking to get a new digital camera with lots of optical zoom and found Fujifilm FinePix S700 7.1-Megapixel for $200. Has anyone used this, or does anyone have any better suggestions.

I use that currently since I am too poor to afford a dSLR. It is a nice camera for what it is. It's a point and shoot with a little extra. Don't expect to be manual focusing with it as the mechanism for that is just awful. You will be able to make some HDRs that you will think are neat. You will be able to get somce nice shots with it. Suprisingly you wont use the zoom as much as you think. That's what drew me to the S700 too but. It was nice for shooting the airshow and I got a lot of neato closeups. Beyond that there's not much point for it really. Also the camera has a really "good" macro capability in that it can take insanely close pictures but do not expect any sort of Bokeh or shallow DOF as this camera doesn't do that. Everything will be "sorta" in focus.
