I have finally decided to put my trusty Pentax SLR in the back of the closet and go digital.
I borrowed a Powershot S2 last year for vacation and loved it. Got several great enlargements from it, all the way up to 20x30. Will I see much difference in the quality of the prints given one is a 6mp and the other is a 9mp? The price diff is no big deal, so which do you guys think would be a better camera? Thanks Mike |

Hi Mike,
There are lots of people on here who know a heck of a lot more about photography than I do, but I'll try to give you a few points to consider. I have been driving myself crazy researching my next digital camera. I've read every review there is on just about every "Prosumer" poin-n-shoot model out there as well as several of the lower priced DSLR cameras. I'm 99.9% sure my next camera will be the new Pentax K100D DSLR. You might want to give it a serious look. It would use all of the lenses you already own! As for the two cameras you asked about, that's a tough one. I looked very hard at both. The Canon seems like a great camera, but it's missing two very important features: manual focus and manual zoom on lens rings. I don't know if you've ever used the manual focus feature on a digicam that required you to push buttons. I have, and it sucks. The Fuji has both of those features, but no true image stabilization. I know, it says it does...but it's not a true optical stabilization. It simply bumps up the ISO (and noise)to compensate. It's a tough choice. Neither one really fit my needs well enough. I would have to compromise a little too much. Seriously, before you decide just take an hour to look into the Pentax K100D. I think you may be impressed. It's available with a good lens thrown in for $608. |

If you are seriously considering the Fuji 9000 or any of it deritives, then I would ask you to please take a moment to re-consider. I was an early purchaser of the S-9000 and it has been a much less than great digital camera. It is nothing at all like the great S-7000.

ken-
I too have great expectations for the Fuji S-6000fd. Like you, I own a Fuji F-30 and like the camera a lot, and that imager will be used in the S-6000fd. The only thing that the S-6000fd lacks is IS. MT |
