    Re: Fujifilm Z1 or Nikon S1 ?!

    John,

    Why not a SONY camera? specificly a W5/ W7? They have the carl zeiss lens(sharp), a decent zoom range for usual use, a flash that travels 12 feet, the start up is 1.3 seconds, but the shutter lag is .1 second, 1/3 second before the next capture, 1.6 FPS up to 9 frames,

    AND BEST OF ALL BOTH are UNDER $400

    Sony?

    No good reason. She was asking about the Fuji and I've been using it, so I had something to say about it. And I absolutely love the Casio. I think it's the best point-and-shoot digital I've ever used. I haven't used the Sony, but we just published a Sony DSC-W7 review, by written by Loren. I think the Casio is lighter, faster, and costs the same. Nothing wrong with Sony, though. Their cameras have always performed very well for me.

    Re: Sony?

    Loren wrote a great review!!!!!

    I have never seen or used one, but my sister inlaw has an older sony(flat like the S1) that is simply amazing image quality wise! The specs of the W5/W7 seemed like a nearly perfect fit for the poster... besides cutesy and flat ;)

    I truely wasn't calling you out, just asking your opinion on the third choice I suggested.
