Answer 1

cybershott its the best

Answer 2

Optical zoom, the lens moves. Digital zoom, the image is magnified by electronics. 2.7 screen vs 3 screen, is not much of a gain and . 8.1 mega pixels vs 10 mega pixels and 10x zoom vs 12x zoom is still not much of a gain. I would choose Fuji because they make their own lens and they have been in the camera business longer than Sony.

Answer 3

i would pick the fujifilm one, since its cheaper..

but it also has better megapixels, better zoom, and holds SD cards.

because i have a sony camera, and the memory cards are super expensive, and when the battery dies, it needs to be recharged, which sucks at like concerts & stuff, so its easier with throw away batteries. (:

but get whichever you really want.

Answer 4

I would break it down to the basic categories.

Lens: Fuji's long zoom range is nice, it has a wider wide than Sony's; my pick is Fuji.

Pixels: A 10MP vs 8MP comparison with cameras of similar lens quality and CCD sensors is moot unless you are talking of supersized enlargements. I would say this category is even.

Size/Weight: The Fuji is bulkier and heavier, winner -- Sony.

Battery: Sony's own battery is light, slim and holds a lot of charge, but if it dies you're kaput. Fuji will take any AA, alkaline and NiMH and all. Winner - Fuji.

Flash Memory: Fuji is more versatile than Sony. Price-wise SD/SDHC card prices have been dropping like rock since there are a lot of companies competing in the business. I pick Fuji.

My 2-cents -- stick with the Fuji -- less money and more features you can grow with.

Answer 5

The Fujifilm would be your best choice even if it seemes that the Sony is better quality becausse of its price, the Fujifilm has a great amount of pixels and better amount of optical zoom and the quality of its pictures are perfect.
