After much investigation I'm down to the Canon S2 IS or the Fuji FinePix S9000. Want to spend less than $1,000 (total incl. accessories). Don't blow up to large prints (mainly post to web), but do a lot of cropping on the computer. Needs to be AA powered (std or rechargeable). Ease of use (for spouse) is a possible influencing factor.
Fuji likes: 9mp, manual zoom ring, 28mm at low-end, higher ISO range and DSLR-like options
Canon likes: better movie functionality, longer zoom, image stabilization, smaller size of camera
Fuji concern: the "anti-blur" feature (i.e. shift to higher ISO/shutter speed) may not get it done, though I rarely shoot at low light.
Canon concern: that the 5mp will limit cropping of shots
Sage advice requested! Thanks in advance!
