Hmmmm... what more can be said on top of the reviews already given?Well... this camera was an upgrade from a previous Fuji model, the S602Z, it in itself a damn good camera...
and since that model proved so good it was pretty much a cert to stick with Fuji!
However, the following features made the decision even easier:
1. Power Source... as with the S602Z, standard AA batteries/cells are used.... I have 'plenty' of these and they are CHEAP!!... 4x 2800mAh cells for about a fiver!!... compare that to some Li-ion pack on other cameras which could cost... what.... fifty, maybe?? (I normally carry 4 sets of batteries around... also useful for other photo equipment!)
2. Zoom... 10X optical- a must!!... I do 95% wildlife/nature photography so the focal length of the lens is most important
3. 10mp CCD... I know the CCD size is not the be all and end all but this large sensor does give other benefits other than just raw resolution.
4. Macro... as with the S602Z it is excellent and highly usable (get your 'subject' within 1cm of the lens!!)... surprisingly the macro is no better than the 602 (as far as I can tell?) but then thats still bloody good.
5. A Good Grip!... I don't have big hands but some of these cameras nowadays a just silly... so small your afraid to press the buttons in case they break!!... this camera like all 'bridge compacts/SLRs' have something to really hold onto.. and yet still light and comfortable to use.
