Digital camera & digital photography resources
for professional & amateur photographers

Hello everyone,

I just bought a new Fujifilm Finepix S5200. Before I bought it, I read many user reviews. Some of them said that all of their photos are grainy, even with good light conditions, etc. One of them said that the whole grainy issue is a fault with some of the CCD chips, and that Fujifilm knows about this and replaces it for free.

This was background. I took some pictures, and I'm just not sure if I have this same problem or not. The pictures are not 100% sharp, but not terribly grainy. I don't know if I should submit the camera saying that it has this problem.

In short, I'm not sure if the grainy pictures are simply the camera's fault, or is it a real problem that can be fixed. Please check out some of the photos and tell me what you think. I only posted the ones I took with 5 MP, as in 2592x1944.

Thanks!

P.S.
I also checked out Steve's sample photos from Steve's Digicams, but I'm still not sure.
