Good to hear. Steve, any idea who makes the lenses?
fuji makes there own lense they don't use other people which is what I like about it. they also use there own ccds which use a technology that effectivly alows you to get twice the amount of info from the same megapixels.. so mine is a 3Mp ccd that puts out the same pixels as a 6Mp camera because of the arangment of the sensors on the ccd. now I would say mine doesent exactly match a 5Mp in the real world but it does hold up against any 5mp camera out there.. I think the S500 is a 6Mp that gives a 12Mp result if I am not mistaken or is that the S7000? anyways I was looking at upgrading to the S5000 or the S7000 but there were a few features that my S602 had that they don't. another option you might like is if you can find a S602 out there as they are about 2 years old now they might be somewhat cheeper than the 1500.00 i paid for mine.

real good camera which allows macros down to 1cm distance has a 6X optical zoom and 4X digital, accepts any screw on lense/filters ect that have a 55mm thread and has the capability to be run in full manual as were as a hord of auto options. also accepts both smart media and compact flash/ibm microdrives.
