Why not wait for the Fujifilm S602Z?

I think that in term of everytihng.... it better then the G2!
*No offence to the G2 owners*

But At 6X zoom and 1cm Marco with maual controls....
Accept AA batt, accept CF, type 1 and 2, SM cards... and even Microdrive.....

See the site for more details!
The only thing is that it is bigger then G2....

wah....tt fuji s602z....looks like a SLR-combined-into-a-digital-cam type of cam.....looks good.....looks like it's fuji's answer to the sony F707......but it looks really big......and i realised the ISO starts frm 160 instead of the usual 100...kinda weird though.....any mayor diff?.....


juz to add....G2....i think it's more compact den tt S602Z.....

Don't be fooled by the pictures... The 602 is not that big. I guess it should be slightly smaller than the Dimage 5/7 and around the size of Sony's 707... or slightly smaller.

wait a sec, u buy a camera based on yr needs, not based on what others say. each camera has its own pros & cons & its not fair to say which is good or bad or which to recommend & what not to. u really need to concentrate on yr own needs & then zoom in on the camera that satisfy yr needs. 1st consider what kind of photo u gonna take & think of what features u want & the kind of media u would be using, then eliminate those which do not satisfy u & scale them down.

G2 has certain features which is appealing to others while pple who can live without them will go for the S602Z. consider also that this S602Z will also be competing with Minolta's Dimage 7i. so its still to early to comment on price. performance wise is again based on individual user. the camera is only as good as the photographer or user. know yr camera, that's more impt.

just got myself a G2 recently and i must say
it's a great cam! still have not finished trying all
the modes!
The only downside of it is the optical zoom is rather
limited at 3X. So most probably would be getting
a telephoto lens to add on...

my 0.02 cents worth!
