the best features in it's price

(pooyan - 4/28/07)

i don't know may be fuji s9100 has better image quality or panasonic fz7 has better price or P.fz50 saves images in raw etc.
bat s9100 doesn't have image stabilizer & fz7 doesn't have good image quality especially in higher iso & fz50 is too expensive .
all i know is s3is has the best features for it's price.
