Hi Hunter,

It would be unreasonable to say that Canon and Nikon can't make a sensor of equal quality to the one in Fuji's F30, just as it would be unreasonable to say that Fuji cannot make a lens with IS technology. However, each company has its own goals, primary features, etc etc. Fuji has chosen to focus on their sensor technology as their big selling point. Canon is starting to push IS pretty heavily (though Panasonic is kinda way ahead of them there). Honestly, I'm not convinced that the F30's sensor is as great as Fuji claims--seems like a lot of marketing hype to me.

As to your second question.... I don't think you can reduce the entire field of digital cameras to one perfect camera, but the closest I can come to is the Canon EOS 1D Mk III dSLR. However, I get the feeling that you're looking for something in the compact, point-and-shoot range, and things get much, much more muddled there.

Sorry, but I don't think there's really a definitive answer for any of your questions.
