I had the Fuji s5100 (replaced by the 5200) and I absolutely loved it.  It is a great camera, with an awesome zoom.  It is by no means a pocket camera, but if you want nice pictures, the larger cameras are better in the first place. 

(Unfortunately, I left it out in my car on a night where it got extremely cold, and the next time I used it I noticed it had an active pixel.  I upgraded to a Canon Rebel XT though, and now I am extremely happy.)

Check out www.stevesdigicams.com for some sample pictures of all those cameras.

Or if you want some sample pics from the Fuji s5100:

so, after looking at reviews and reading thoughts (i posted this on 3 different sites), i went with the Canon® PowerShot SD600 Digital Camera, so it is ordered

im no photographer, so i just wanted an easy to use "party camera" with decent features

the Canon seemed like my best choice to just drop in my pocket and go

thanks for the help

I have been doing research about this product. I found a site that lists all expert reviews about it. Most reviews for Canon Powershot SD600 Digital Camera are positive. You can learn a lot from these expert reviews:
