Can anyone please point out the differences between the
Fujifilm Finepix S5100/5500 and the newer S5200/5600 ?
I've gone through the detailed review of the 5100 at
DPreview but they didn't do one on the 5200.

Minor differences - The former has a 4mp sensor vs. 5mp. When
zooming, the S5100's lens extends and retracts. The S5200 uses a
non-extending lens, for whatever that's worth. The S5200 improves
the S5100's already excellent battery life by another 25%. Someone
here reported that the S5200 has no "sports" mode. Despite the
higher resolution, the S5200's sensor *might* be more sensitive and
have lower noise. Only a review will tell, but check the manual.
The S5100 only goes up to ISO 400. I assume that the S5200 goes
higher. The S5200 has additional features, but as I don't have a
manual for it I can't refresh my memory as to what they are. You
should be able to download manuals for both cameras from Fuji's web
site.

Thanks for a very informative reply. If photos are mainly for viewing
on a computer monitor, occasionally printed at 6x4 and rarely blown
up to 8x10 without severe cropping, am I right in thinking that the
difference between 4MP and 5MP is minimal ?
