Advantages: Ergonomic feel, lens quality, superb battery life Disadvantages: Slow with best 6MP setting, poor low light focus.
After several years of film photography, I made a partial changeover to an Olympus C40z as my first step. That was OK, but I got the BiggaMegaPixelBug, and wanted something with better resolution. I chose the Fuji on its good reputation, their excellent Fujinon lenses, and, at the time, a very good price deal.
I've used some techie terms in this review, so I've added a mini glossary at the very end, I hope this helps....

There are millions of settings to play with and I am still experimenting. The manual modes give exactly the effect you expect. There are no gimics with this camera, even the movie mode gives impressive results. This is what makes the camera attractive to those moving from 35mm slr kits.
