I hope they've improved build quality from the F100fd. I ran an F100fd against the iXus 960is and was disappointed in the Fuji both with image quality and the very cheap feel of the thing. So reluctantly, Canon it was as a replacement for my Konica-Minolta G600 (brilliant camera) whose lens motor was starting to fail.

I've got a Panny TZ7 now though - stunning camera, blows the Canon away (to my Sister who's now using it, as bizarrely, her Nikon had lens motor issues).

Nice review. I've always been a Fuji camera owner (shall we add Fuji to my Sony/Apple fanboy labels?), I recently purchased the F200-EXR and will happily join you in singing the praises of the EXR sensor. After a weekend in the Mumbles testing nothing but the EXR modes I got some wonderful shots back, and even using the auto-EXR mode the battery still had plenty of juice left at the end of the day despite the constant whirring of the lense mechanism...

Great review, Cliff.

I bought my Fujifilm FinePix F40fd based on your review 2.5 years ago, do you think the F70EXR is a worthy upgrade? The TZ7 caught my eye, but the F70EXR looks a more attractive buy (even if it is missing HD video).

I've got the F70EXR, and I have to admit too the EXR sensor is a joy, especially the low light mode. In fact the flash is rarely ever used, even when I was taking picture at a Halloween disco.

Also something not mentioned in the review is the F70 also has a Pro Focus mode for doing some fancy shots, which I think is something unique to compacts.

I used to have fuji finepix s9600 that of course can take great picture, but takes a lot of effort, with the F70 nearly every picture I've taken has been smack on.

Some bit of advice. Get some spare battery's, there cheap enough from Ebay. Also set the Max ISO to 800, the auto mode will pick 1600 where 800 would have been fine otherwise.

@Keith - Snap! The S9600 was previously my pride and joy, too, but I *never* took advantage of all it's wonderful wizardry... I've made the decision to eBay it off for Christmas now.

Arg, I was going to buy the F200-EXR for my wifes birthday then this review comes along and messes with my head, any one recommend which one to go for? Both the same price on a certain merchants website!

BTW, the price you list is way off the mark.

Considering u can have it for over £100 less than the as reviewed price think u should be bumping the value score up to ten.

@Cub: Yes, I found trying to take good pictures of our 2 year old with the S9600 seemed next to impossible. :) Something else I forgot to mention the Anti-Shake on this works really well too, even at Max Zoom hand held the images were very clear.

@Christopher, I think you need to decide what your priority's for a camera are.

The F70 has less mega pixels if that's a concern.

I believe the 200 doesn't have the pro-focus mode.

When on holiday in Center Parcs I found the extra zoom came in very handy, certainly outweighing the extra mega pixels, but your mileage may vary.

Oh, yes. Whoever pays £280 for this camera has been ripped off. I got mine for less than £200 with 4 Gig SDHC, leather case & mini-tripod, and that was 3 months ago.
