Despite the large number of pixels packed onto the FS7's 1/2.5-inch CCD, noise wasn’t an issue at the lower ISO settings.

Film grain mode?

Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike film.

RE: @ Peyton

I'd highly recommend the Panasonic TZ5 model, got awesome some and great stabilisation.

Another missing statistic

Another missing statistic: How many mm² is the sensor array?

The bigger the array, the more light you can capture before reaching saturation. More light captured means better contrast at low ISO, and lower noise at high ISO. In fact, the better the picture. My old Fuji 2800Z (1.92MPx) with a freakin' huge array took noticeably better pictures than many 4MPx cameras with smaller arrays.

composition?

seconded on the lack of interior sample shots. Daylight vs indoors is a huge difference.

I like the consistency of the euro, the blue door and the cathedral as standard samples, but I'm not such a fan of the general composition. the camera seems to be pointed downward a little too much for me.

need more info

I have shaky hands - does the image stabilization bit work well? (or does it just crank up the ISO) I'd love to find a decent pocket-sized camera with this, but it's always hard to find info on it in reviews (not just here - everywhere - darn photag reviewers and their ability to take good pictures without assistance :p )
