[QUOTE="Biro, post: 59714, member: 1186"] Lilli's reference to her Fuji as the "best concert cam ever" is what I'm talking about. As you can see, I have a number of cameras for different things. In this case it would be pocketability with a longer zoom. This is exactly the kind of camera on which I would want the zoom range, because it's tiny cameras like this that I can get into situations where cameras aren't allowed or only tiny ones are permitted. Like Penny, I wouldn't be shooting raw with it (which is why I'd want the F750 without raw and GPS). People may be surprised how much one can still tweak jpgs in programs like LR or iPhoto. Thekeddi...I see you have the SX 230 HS... how would you compare your F550 to that in terms of both image quality and overall response and performance? Fuji is claiming the F660/750/770 have 30% less noise at ISO 3200 than the previous generation. Oh, and Lilli, that shot of your cat at ISO 1600 and 1/6 of a second seems fine to me. Would you say the image stabilization on your camera is very effective? I'm assuming that image was taken with the camera hand-held. I also like both the X10 and Oly XZ-1... either of which could replace the LX3 in my kit. So I understand what Sue is talking about. [/QUOTE]
