S5800 is a good bridge camera. I have the S5700.

You can get some good lens for it although its a bridge as it has a threaded lens.

What settings were you using to get those results?

EDIT - Thought you were commenting on the photos posted, not to worry.

I can never keep the quality with the Fuji's, I need to keep practicing, Mine nearly always comes out like below.

My dad in the murci LP640

On another note Melbourne Loop is a good photo spot if you find a hole in the fence for your lens to fit through.

I have some good ones lyjej at melbourne that I have never gotten round to taking off my camera

Black A* Leathers (which will be covered up by my waterproofs no doubt). Bikes a pointy black faired SV with no headlights a GSXR front end and plenty of scratches! I'd imagine I'll be easy to spot. Not least because I think I'll be the only SV on track.
