Fujifilm

The F810 is a conventional still camera with a cool widescreen mode and lots of manual controls

Flash is a little slow. Needs to be connected to dock for picture exchange with computer. Colours can be a little washed out

The FinePix E500 is a light 170g 4MP shooter with a 2in LCD, wide angle 3.2x optical zoom and a bonkers pricetag

Still one of the best-looking compacts around, and that toughened glass will keep the LCD from getting weathered in your pocket.
