[Pros]
- Solid construction. Lovely retro styling. Having one in your hand makes you feel like a Michael Kelso. (Though it must be said that Ashton Kutcher later went on to become a pitchman for Nikon)
- Very unobtrusive, the lens collapses all the way into the body
- Bright and hi-res screen
- Darn respectable image quality. ISO1600 is perfectly usable when the camera's tricky image processing features are enabled (EXR mode in Fujifilm lingo)
- Good spec lens (though max aperture drops fast as the zoom is extended)
- Excellent AF
- Comprehensive manual control, easy to use menu layout
- Class-leading image processor. Auto WB under artificial lighting is unbelievably good
- RAW mode supported, if you are into this sort of thing
