The ISO ratings are misleading on digital cameras -- and one's ISO 50 is equiv to another's ISO 100. So I bet the ISO 1600 on the Fuji is similar to the ISO 800 on the Canon.

I'm personally a Sony camera fan, but had had lots of experience with Fuji and Canon -- and I wouldn't recommend Fuji. Go with Canon or Sony - they are the leaders in pocket sized digital camera's, IMHO.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/22/fuji-finepix-f10-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/22/fuji-finepix-f10-reviewed/Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/22/fuji-finepix-f10-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/22/fuji-finepix-f10-reviewed/
The reason is that its ISO 800 and ISO 1600 mode pics seems to have less noise than ISO200 of Canons or Sonys.

This means that you can take previously impossible shots, such as indoor shot without flash (no noise, no shake, full ambience)

I am picking this up this Saturday, so I'll see for myself.

Look at some samples, which are striking assuming Fuji marketing folks did not dare to post-process the images...

here's one review. it has done better than any digital p&s camera to date in the areas of noise, and low light ability, and flash power.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/22/fuji-finepix-f10-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/22/fuji-finepix-f10-reviewed/
I've had in my hands 10 digital cameras in the last six months. Canon, Pentax, Sony, Fuji, Casio and Nikon.

Everybody's goals are different. At first my goal was to obtain crisp results, so sharp the photos almost hurt your eyes!

After all my tests, I ended up with the Sony P150. Not even the Canon S500, G6 or Nikon's equivilent matched the output of the Sony.

However....

Indoor shots were the same as all the rest. Good flash but dark backgrounds and the effective range of the flash, although better than most, just didn't provide coverage. Besides, I dislike using Flash.

Along comes the Fuji F10, which I picked up. The pictures are not as sharp as the Sony, the difference is noticable. However, indoor shots without flash and also shots taken without the inevitable blur when the subject moves.

I'll put up with not so razor sharp pictures! And the movie mode is excellent! I've taken shots of downtown Portland, just sitting the camera on the window sill of the car and got pictures none of the rest would even come close to getting.

There are many more reasons but it would be pages long. I now have to sell my fairly new Sony P150 on ebay!
