Fuji S4250 for a beginner?

These are 139 for the walmart black friday sale. Will it be a good buy for a newbie? Looking for mainly still photos, but want good detail. I do not plan on any action shots. Will be on the boat (in a case when not in use) and in the truck. Any thoughts? I know nothing about photography, but some of ya'll have posted enough awesome pictures to make me want to try!
