A bridge too far: Canon S3? No. Panasonic FZ50? Er, no. Fu..

Ok, a couple of months ago I bought 4Gb's worth of SD cards to try and
force myself to choose between an S3 and an FZ50 (both take SD). Now,
reluctant to support Panasonic's sensor, and desperate for more EVF
resolution than Canon are prepared to offer, I find myself aiming
towards a Fuji 9600 (9100 in the USA). 235k EVF, manual focus, similar
size to FZ50 sadly (ie DSLR sized), superior ISO performance helping
compensate for the lack of IS. Oh, and it doesn't use SD cards. That'll
teach me.

Still, at least I have CF cards already from my Canon S1.

Anyone have any thoughts? Apart, that is, from "stop dithering and just
make a choice you idiot! None of them are bad cameras!"

Andrew McP... off to find a three sided coin to toss.

PS Of course I could always gamble the money on England winning the
Ashes instead. I could retire on the odds being offered now.
