Pros

EXR modes for dynamic range and low noise, 14.3X optical zoom with manual focus ring.
Excellent picture quality; RAW image capture; effective noise reduction control.
Image quality, EXR system and build quality, zoom range
Lovely sharp images, Long zoom, EXR sensor, Film simulations, New pro-focus mode works well with telephoto lens
Very good image quality, Good shutter performance, Best in class ISO performance, RAW capability.

Cons

EXR modes reduce image resolution by half, Disappointing, standarddefinition video, Lag between sequential shots
Lens not as wide as S100FS'; no HD video option; no tilting LCD; size of camera not suitable for everyone.
Manual focus ring, lack of wide angle on lens, EVF
I'd prefer an articulating screen, Missing FinePix button can lead to confusion, Jagged wheels are too small
Cost, Video trails competition, 30.5 to 436mm lens range exceeded greatly by some competitors.
