The 2 things I don't like about Fuji are XD cards (expensive and too small) and no choice in compression (too high). Even the 5000 doesn't give you a choice.
Don't know about the 7000, but that is well over his price range.
I friend got a 5000 (couldn't find a 3000 before Xmas locally) and I played around with it for awhile. Not bad, but still the issue of high compression (which can be changed in the firmware) has come up in 3 or 4 reviews I have read! Too bad, I guess I could get use to the XD card (don't know about removing it from the slot, I would rather get a larger one and leave it there and D/L to a computer though it would be slower. Better than damaging the card or slot itself or worse yet loosing the card!!
Again $150 really is way to low to get something decent you won't regret later. Get something you won't sell 6 months later because you grew out of it!
