Fujifilm M603 (Newbie Alert)

[kentris]

Hi people

I'm looking into getting myself a nice new digital camera and figured that this place would be ideal to ask my questions.

I am thinking of getting myself a Fujifilm FinePix M603. My question is whether this camera is good or not? I basically will use the camera for "everyday" pictures and possibly _some_ professional pictures such as close up's of plants. Also I may choose to take some videos w/ sound but at a good resolution

My plans for this camera are:

city scapes
portraits
family pictures
going out with friend type pictures
videos
concerts

Other than that I'd like to know if there are any pros and cons to this camera? And would it be worth it?

Currently, the price I've seen this camera for is £199.99 without the microdrive, but with the microdrive it is like £150 more which would make it £349.99

Thanks in advanced, and any info you know, please let me now

I found the F601 more versatile pocket camera than the M603. If you are lucky you could find a last box bargain in a shop. Fuji has announced a follow up of that camera the F610.

And a microdrive? I thought the M603 uses Xd media cards?
