The Fuji S5100 is a great little camera. I carried one with me to Iraq and it has been through a year in the desert in the hands of an Infantryman, plus a few canals, it fell in the lake with a drunk friend of mine and has been in a couple of thunderstorms and is still kicking. It is not my primary camera anymore, but I will never get rid of it. If I can find the manual for mine would you like a copy of it?

Your pictures look great but might I suggest underexposing by at least one stop, or bracketing to see which exposure is best. In high key photos like that the meter can get a little fooled sometimes. It is ment to read 18% grey but if you are focusing on a dark area then your white will wash out too much, vise versa metering on the white.
