dpreview.com is one of the sites that raved about the fuji. I may not have mentioned it on my lists of wants, but the zoom is pretty important as well. Getting a decent picture of Roger Federer while playing is tough from the cheap seats.

RAW is important to me. I want to play around with the files in photoshop. All the compression and noise reduction crap messes up the images. Bleck.

I'll read up on the Canon A710.
