F100 is a feature rich camera. Forget about the megapixel count and freebies. Try to compare if others have the following features which are very useful:
1. 28mm wide angle
2. Optical image stabilizer
3. ISO 12,800 (great for indoor photo/night scenes)
4. Wide dynamic range (capture more highlight and shadow details)
5. Most importantly - the unbeatable Fuji colour

Also, may i know what is the subject you are going to shoot? If you plan to take indoor photos of small kids which do not allow the use of flash, then Fuji is your only choice.

depends on your budget,
but since u can accomodate to consider F100fd,
I recommend:

Fuji Finepix F100fd ($559 net)
Casio Exilim Z1080 ($419 nett)
Canon Ixus 860 Is ($589 nett)
Fuji Finepix J10 ($225 nett)

I am sure u knew how much I bought the CASIO EXILIM Z1080, so you might feel not worth it to pay the high price for it.
So I have another recommendation why not consider an F50fd when it is now only S$399. :thumbsup:
