Very nice camera

I just bought this camera 2 days ago. I've found only one user review of it at amazon so I thought I shoukd contribute.
First off, about me, so you'll have point of reference. I'm 32 years old, programmer. So, I'm more of a technical person. I owned a Cassio Q8000, Minolta DiMage 7i and now own a Nikon D70.
This camera is a gift for a friend.
About this Fuji. The lens is very nice and smooth. The zoom ring feels even better than on the D70's kit lens. The LCD is really big and bright. The viewfinder is also really big. The colors in the viewfinder are shifted a little to the blue side.
The camera is surprisingly light, but feels sturdy - not cheep by any standard.
It has a green light to help focus in low light. It's kind of nice - usually the light is read or white. There's a dedicated button to turn on/off the face detection feature. The FD really does work. Although it seems that the algorithm expects there to me 2 eyes and a mouth, so if the objects turns sideways, the camera looses the face;)
I don't have the memory for it yet - it uses xD cards. In the internal 10mb buffer it takes 6 pictures. About 1.5mb each.
The images are very decent - the colors and saturation are very true. I did notice some noise (at ISO100), but I'm used to the images from my DSLR.
The focusing is acceptably fast in the daylight. When the lighting is poor the focusing is still fast with the green light, but when you move the camera, the picture on the screen kind of lags behind the motion. So it gives the impression of being slow. When you press the shutter and the objects are turning yellow-green on the screen because of the focusing light, it looks a bit wierd.
I haven't read the manual - I don't want to breack the wrapping. So I might have failed to find some feature. Consider the below part questionable.
There's no button the set the white ballance. You have to press Menu button and then scroll there. You can't set WB for the auto mode - only for one of the PASM modes. There's no quick view button - you have to flip the record/playback switch. There's no delete button in playback mode - to delete you have to go through menu. Very nive playback mode otherwise. There's no wheel (on the D70 there are 2 wheels) so I don't know how to change the apperture/shutter in the PASM modes.
There doesn't seem to be a autoswitch between viewfinder and the screen.
The mode selector switch has a sequence off-play-record. So to get to the taking pictures (that's where you usually are going) you need to click trough the play. That's not a big issue.
Otherwise, a very goodlooking, well thoughtout, functional camera.
