Digital Camera

[Gujustud]

Well I've really broken it down to a few choices.

The Fuji S5000, or the Minolta Z1 (or the Z2 coming out in a few weeks).

Both have 10x optical which is the biggest plus (I hate that digital zoom crap). The price of both of these are pretty good. They are shooting just over about $500. Most likely I'll be buying them from Visions, because I've got a $80 credit to use there which brings it into my budget. Their lifetime price protection is also the best, because I know the camera price will drop in a few months time for sure.

Anyone got experiences with any of these?
