A little on the dark side. I have a fuji s3000 myself. If I could do it over I would probably buy a Canon A60 or A70 simply because the fuji does rather poorly under low light conditions, but otherwise it's a great point and shoot camera that produces sharp photos with an ultra long 6x optical zoom.. great camera for vacationing with the family or in the mountains or the grand canyon for close up shots of this and that. The reason I didn't choose the Canon was canon uses a softer focus that tends to produce pictures with less sharpness.
