My last 3 cameras have been Fuji's, and I'm still using the 4900 I bought nearly 3 years ago. It was cutting edge then and had a 6x Optical zoom whereas rivals only hade 3-4. When I got it I tried quite a few different ones, and still ended up with the Fuji again, and on it's performance will probably stick to the brand when I renew. My only gripe at the time was the delay between just pressing the button normally and it focussing and taking the shot; since then I've learnt effectively about just pressing the button way to get it to focus, flicking it to manual focus prior to getting the shots - then hitting the shutter where it takes the shot straight away and straight on to the next one.
