I've been taking pictures as a hobby for over forty years, and my recent purchase of a Fuji Finepix 3800 has gotten me back into photography. Update - After 10 months of using the Fuji 3800, I upgraded to the Fuji FinePix S-5000. I has a lot more features and I highly recommend it. It's 2012 and my latest Fuji FinePix is a HS 20 EXR with a 40X optical zoom. Definitely the best so far.
