My trusty 2800z gave up the ghost. Refuses to power up. Since I cannot be without a digicam I decided that regardless of the fact that it was a fuji that died, I would remain loyal and ordered the S5100. Ordered it from Walmart.com for $283.84. The $50 rebate knocks it down to what I think is a very fair price.
Really looking forward to getting my hands on the 5100. From what I have read here it looks like a worthy camera.

The S5100 has a lot to offer over your 2800z - I think you'll be pleased.

My S5100 should be here today...I can't wait. It's also a replacement for my 2800 Zoom. However, mine did not fully "kick the bucket". My camera had the lens retraction problem for awhile, but the real reason for replacement is simply for a newer, higher megapixel camera.

Mine's still not here. Walmart says it was shipped and due here on the 23rd. I can't wait.

I placed my second order for one last Thursday from Walmart.com, and it was suppposed to be here today... even paid the extra shipping. Now they tell me it won't be here until tomorrow at the earliest... but they told me when I called them yesterday that they will credit my credit card for the extra shipping (have to wait and see if they say the same thing when I call them tomorrow).

The first one from Walmart.com has stuck/hot pixels on the CCD, LCD, and EVF... hope this one is better.

Well, just to tease you a little bit, here are some sample images I took yesterday. I am a terrible photographer, but if I can satisfy my own taste with images like these, then I think the camera is pretty good. As you can tell, very little effort went into these. I think the 5100 is a pretty good little camera.
