I'm in the market for a digi camera. Was considering the new nikon s1, fuji f10 and 550. They all seem to have their pros and cons. What would you guys/gals suggest? Is it worth putting a few bucks more towards and SLR? And if so... again what do you suggest?

Thanks,

Tod

I'm lovin my Olympus 4MP. All weather. 1/2 gig chip. Does video w/sound.
"Wish list" after buying this thing. Better flash range. that's a big one.... Faster trigger response... as noted above.

Best things about it. All weather, large capacity, great battery life, has LiIon batt and I always keep a backup, easy menu and remote control. I use half of the resolution capacity and still blow up pics to 8 1/2 by 11" and results are great.

Straight from Consumer reports...
Look for the CR Best Buy next to the names....
