Guys im curious, comparing the Fujifilm F11 with the Panasonic Lumix FX-01, which would be a better buy?

For one, im very interested with the high ISO low noise feature of the F11, which im sure, will reduce the need of using flash while taking indoor social shots. Will make the pics more natural right?

But the Lumix has a very good IS system, which will help me reduce double takings because of blurriness. Im also very interested with the 16:9 shots for lanscape as well as huge group photos.

That said, its high ISO no flash (hence faster shutter speeds) vs the lumix OIS. Which you think would be better in eliminating blurriness? (leave out the fact that the f11's pic quality would be much better )

Also, between both camera, which has better manual controls (in camparison, i know both dont have much =.=) and, can the F11 do cropped 16:9 shots at lower res?

Thanks!

Woot! Really useful info there. Thanks for replying =D. Now i realised that high ISO is able to reduce motion blur too. Hmm f11 - 1, FX01 - 0.

But as for the 16:9, i've read that the FX01 is the first compact to use a real 16:9 sensor, and unlike other cameras that cropped, this takes it in real full res 16:9. In short, what i've read completely contradict what you've said . I was having the impression that on the FX01, all 4:3 shots are being cropped instead compared to 16:9 because of its 16:9 sensor .

And for the Aperture and Shutter, i read too that you cant get full control over the settings. Just the options of changing ISO, exposure, white balance, etc, but not the aperture and shutter speed settings themselves. Well i might've read wrong =.=''. Enlighten me

Thanks again for your time =D

Thanks for the heads up =D. In that case, i think im leaning more towards the F11, but im beginning to like the F30, because of its extra modes (not as much for its ISO3200) like the flash and without flash 2 in 1 shots. Very useful

if u all cant wait, its RM1.7k shipped to malaysia including 512MB xD and free shipping =D
