Gotta say, if I had a need for a P&S, this would be a top contender.

Minor annoyances like 36mm efl minimum, propietary battery, red-eye prone flash placement, and no viewfinder would surely be overcome by superior low-light image quality and minimal shutter lag.

Now, if they would use this technology to address these issues, and add IS, that would be a dream camera!

Ok, right, IS would make it a real dream camera. But itīs already a very very tempting one with those current features .

Just read this over at Steve's: "Fujifilm USA has told us that the FinePix F11 will not be sold in the U.S."

This would officially make Fuji the STUPIDEST COMPANY ON EARTH!!!

They're pretty brain dead all right.

Wow- I've been debating between the SD500, Casio Z750, and Fuji F10 for a while. Sounds like the F11 would capture the best aspects of the Z750 and F10. Does anybody know if I can get this camera online somewhere? Why isn't Fuji going to import them? This would be almost as good as an SD500 with the Fuji's ISO settings.

I am a proud SD500 owner and I think that the F11 would be better...but if Fuji is stupid enough to not sell them in the US, than I will not buy one...why should I give my money to the stupid? It just encourages more stupidity...

SD500 is a solid camera but it is not nearly as flexible as the F10 which is of course in the states already. i wish fuji would reconsider releasing the F11 in the states as well but the true replacement for the F10 might not be too far off(probably jan/feb) anyways...

also, there is no reason to bash fuji as a company because they chose not to release the F11 in the states(i am guessing it is because the F10 is underperforming from a sales standpoint in the states but not overseas). keep in mind fuji, pretty much by itself, has advanced the compact camera market considerabley in the last year+. because of fujis technological advancements in high ISO shooting all the other camera manufacturers are having to follow suit - notice the new sony N1 has 800 ISO when all their other previous sony compact p/s cams have had 400 ISO max.

The N1 wonīt be able to compete with the F11...8 MP on such a small sensor ! The 7 MP of my SD500 are already quastionable...but more ???? And then ISO800 ?? Cannot be without either a lot of noise or fokinī harsh noise noise reduction destroying all the details. The big touch screen lcd is quite a nice gimmick, but nothing more. Wonīt ever sell my SD500 for it...perhaps for the F11. I hope the F11 will be sold in Germany. Think so .

Touch screen interfaces are not gimmicks in themselves. They are gimmicks when Sony touts the whole touch up thing. But as a menu/button sort of interface, it's an excellent alternative and opens up the possibility of maximizing screen space at no expense.
