Try again. Yours has a plastic lens. Mine has a glass lens by Zeiss.


10 glass elements in 7 groups (includes two elements with three aspheric
surfaces)

Now that you look foolish, I deliver the final kick to your block-head. Fuji's
electronics and AF system lags. In addition, the Fugi takes longer to power up
and takes 1.5 seconds shot to shot, while the Z1 powers up faster and can
manage just under 1 second shot to shot. Both cameras have good optics with the
edge to the fuji. I actually like the S7000, but it's AF system proved
unreliable...much like Canon G1 and Olympus C50. No thanks.
The Z1 is so usable I'm selling the G2 on Ebay right now. The Z1's "fastest"
auto focus means it takes more usable shots than many other better cameras.
I'll be picking up the next gen of the canon rebel next.
