I have Kodak DX 6490 and it is definitely better than Fuji's equivalent model, I didnt see the images taken in Minolta Z2 and Panasonic's similar model.

First piece of advice. Pay a lot more attention to reviews than individual opinions. Very few people who recommend the camera that they own have actually used any of the other similar cameras.

Second. Think about increasing the 10x a bit. There is a range of long-zoom fixed-lens digitals from the Minolta A2 (7x) to the Panasonic FZ10/20 (12x). I mention those two because they are image stabilized and that feature will help a lot when shooting in low ambient light conditions.

(I've got the Minolta A1 and it seems to do well in low light conditions. The viewfinder switches from color to B&W which makes it easier to compose in dim conditions. But that's not a recommendation. I haven't used any of the other long-lens digitals. ;o)
