dSLR killer? Oh no, I downloaded the full size ISO800 S9000 photo from
Fujifilm site. The artifact is HORRIBLE. On the other hand, the ISO 1600
20D shots are way, way better, similar to the ISO200 sample from S9000.
BTW, I detect some jaggies in the S9000 samples so it's not really a 9MP
camera.

Just for anyone that might be confused by your reply, "dSLR
killer" was only said by you and the OP. No reasonable person
expects that. You may detect jaggies but I detect bias, which is
nothing new from you, so I'll wait for real reviews. FWIW even 16mp
sensors will produce noticeable jaggies unless excessive in-camera
processing obscures them.

anyone actually try doing what most people do with these images?
1) resize to fit the screen for web use, etc.
2) print to 4x6" or 8x10" paper.

Keep in mind that while the 9MP sensor on this Fuji isn't the 'best'
vs. a dSLR, it does have more than sufficient qualities for the majority
of casual home users at the 4x6" to 8x10" size. Obviously, they do have
their S3 dSLR to compete at the higher end of things, if that's what
you're after.
The target market isn't against the dSLRs for the F10 - instead,
it's against the 5MP 12x zoom competetors from Canon, Sony, Panasonic,
etc. And clearly, in this case, the 9MP easily trumps the 5MP found on
these other cameras.

including the 8MP too, but why print @ 4x6" or 8x10"?
