The Fuju and the Sony both looked too saturated for my taste. The Fuji looked like it had a slight red push.

The Sony was a little sharper than the Canon SD760

Both Canon model colors looked more natural to me, with the SD 950 resolution the sharpest of the two Canons and sharpes of all IMO.

If I were buying based on those shots (not considering prices), my order would be SD 950, then SD 760, then the Fuju, then the Sony.

The Fuji and the SD 760 would be a debate on color (over) saturation vs sharpness. (I prefer color accuracy myself, too much color especially red is annoying)

My pet fetish is corner sharpness. All zoom lenses can expect to have softened corners to some degree. I'm happy to see the Fuji held its own here! Biggest disappointment was the Canon SD950. Wish that he had also included an Olympus and a couple of Panasonics. Oh well.

All in all, in persepective, those were respectable shots from cameras not much larger than a deck of cards...

Oh I agree. For sharing images on the Internet or for the new digital "frames" these cameras are, if anything, overkill.

On the camera forums the most common complaint is about how long the shutter lag is, not the image quality. I haven't had a chance to use a DSLR, but apparently they have a much shorter shutter lag.
