[Photo-SIG] Fuji Finepix S5200

[Dellis Hines]

Where the Lumix is concerned, I've had several people,
both IRL and online, highly recommend it.  When it
comes to the output, I've seen pics taken with it in
nature photography settings, and by people who were
decidedly not professional photogs, where the results
were outstanding.
