yeah i knew about the noise from the in camera processing but its not a problem for most people, bearing in mind the original posters must have feature was a "fast shutter speed" i doubt he's a pixel peeper!
nice link, i'll have a good nose round there cheers
i recommended the panny TZ5 for the decent optics & the versatility of a fairly wide lens with 10x zoom & decent video capture all at the price he'd mentioned
plus there should be even more/better deals now the TZ6 & TZ7 are hitting the shelves
the fujis were rcommended to me when i was looking & my mr likes hers i'm just not clued up enough on their range to be able to recommend one over the other
i went for the Panasonic LX3 which has been very good so far
