hi guys

im currently in the market for a new camera. ive narrowed it down to 2

1. fujifine pix s65000fd
3." " s8000fd

any information on these cameras, or just general input would be greatly appreciated. ive read reviews on these and they seem to be about the same overall mark of about 8. i myself am probly more biased towards the 1st one because of it manual winding lens, which i want in a camera, but the first one is about 100 dollars more expensive than the other one. so anyone that can help me will get lots of thanks!

heres a few links to the reviews:
1. Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd - TrustedReviews
2. FUJIFILM Global | FinePix S8000fd : Product Views

i believe that with point and shoots now a days, if read up on the models you really can't go wrong.

just with a quick glance i would do the 6500. it has RAW capture, so you can control your mistakes more in editing. that's a huge feature. good luck.
