It was a toss up between the Fuji and the Canon but I got a better deal on the Canon at the time - bit over a year ago. Now I don't know.
I'm very happy with it, in low density 480 x 600 - it produces just great snaps - and up the top end of the range great pic's. Its always in the pocket, on my belt or in the bag.
The newer models have more zoom and are a tad bigger.
Size is everything - smaller is better. The canon is chunky and thus very easy to fit in the palm. Case that came with is great bbbbbuuuutttt the silver surface on the plasti-leather departs. Once gone its even better. Software supplied very acceptable - but the pro stuff is better.
Price then about £320 - now don't know. I got mine in HK.
