Hey Gary....What do you think about a Fuji Camera??
Gary, or any others,
I took a look at the Canon G3 and G5....really nice,,but a couple of things that stuck out to me.
One was being able to see the lens through the viewfinder, which just seemded annoying.
The other was that the viewfinder is even with the back of the body camera, and when looking through it, it seemed I was pushing my nose against the left side of the camera.
While there, the lady showed me the Fuji S5000. Have you had any experience with it?
It seemed to "fit" me nice, and I liked it pretty well.
Thoughts any one??
Jerry

Ok,,,
I can tell you what I dont like, but they are not real important reasons!!
xD media.....so I have to start buying a new kind...no big deal.
3.2MP vs.4.0...again....for what I need, probably no big deal.
I really like the flip out LCD on the G3.....Fuji does not have it....but when I think about it.....I have never used the LCD on my current camera for taking pictures.....
Maybe I am making up my mind as we speak.....I'm headed off to find a review of the camera of I can.

Ah yes, xD is a pain. I hate new memory formats.
The flip out LCD is fun. I think it has its place in awkward shooting situations.
3 to 4 megapixels is a joke. It's really 3.14 to 3.92 megapixels, hehe. And the increase in print dimensions is only 11%.

Exactly, I keep forgeting that it is not really 3 vs. 4
That makes the decision even better.
I'm reading a review right now,,,and so far it looks pretty good.

If you can try it at a store, do so. Nothing like handling the camera in the flesh.

The xD is fairly annoying. Minor peeve - I find that given the feature-set this lil' camera isn't quite so little. It is actually fairly large, built like an SLR.

Physical size is not really a major factor for me. Most of the time I am carrying my camera on my ATV, or some other powered vehicle!!
So the size of the camera and related accesories are not to bad.
Is xD any worse than SD, or just another format?
I have read so many reviews, on so many cameras, and just when I think I have one picked, anotherone pops up, or I read something about the one I liked, that scares me!!

Gary, that is a very nicely done mockup! It shows the stupidness of 4MP cameras very nicely, hehe.
xD isn't worse, just annoying. It's too small, and it's another format.
