Competitive Set
Canon EOS 5D ($2,800, street, body only): Has full-frame imager for superior wide-angle capability with EF lenses, fine build quality, best resolution of 12MP DSLRs so far -- but it costs $900 more, and lacks built-in flash. The Fuji does better on noise, color accuracy, and dynamic range.
Nikon D200 ($1,340, street, body only): Same body, with Nikon imager and engine, offers higher burst rates and buffer capacity -- for $560 less. Test results are roughly on par; the Nikon has slightly better noise control, the Fuji better color accuracy and superior dynamic range controls.
