My main issue with Fuji is that it's less supported on Linux due to their oddball sensor design (although we did just get a Fuji X-S1 for my partner, who likes it a lot better than the Panasonic FZ-35). But our primary camera right now seems to be the Canon G1X, which has about the best low-light performance of any zoomable P&S. Also takes really nice pictures. A new G1X is too spendy for what you get (although I probably will just pay for a new G2X whenever it comes out now that I've had reasonable experience with the G1X), but we got ours from keh.com for about $500. Doesn't seem to be available there right now, but bhphoto does. The X20 doesn't yet have results on dxomark, but it would need to be a considerable improvement over the X10 for its F2 lens to match the G1X's F2.8. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
