ha, refer to my other post

The 2800 is a nice camera also, my sister actually has that one I think.. likes it too. My only concern is the lack of an optical VF

the viewfinder. Cameras either incorporate an optical viewfinder (ie glass; what you would see looking through a regular film camera) or an evf, a mini representation of what you see on the LCD. While the LCD is much more accurate, I dislike the evf's because they're hard to use in low light

We have the big brother, the Fuji Finepix 3800. Absolutely love the camera. Great battery life... recent 10-day camping vacation, shot a full 128mb of photos, approx 215 at the chosen resolution with same set of battaries.

3800 has more goodies than the 2800: if you shop around, you can get the Finepix 3800 for maybe another $100-135. Three megapixels, combined optical/interpolated zoom to 6X, both optical VF and LCD VF, ability to record 60 second AVIs (with sound)... don't know if the 2800 can do this last one.
