Fujifilm FinePix S700 (Black)

Pros: Very good for the money

Cons: Not really a compact

Summary: This camera has everything that a novice to an intermediate would want. The image stabilaztion program is vey nice as well. It allow's you to take nice crisp pictures. With the 10x zoom, you are getting a bargin at the current price. Just yesterday I shot well over 200 pictures without even a hiccup. The ease of use is very good as well as the layout on the camera itself. It is just a tad bulky but the picture quality I get is well worth the trade. I would encourage those who are looking for a good "point and shoot" to purchase this camera.
