Have you tried the forums at dpreview.com? They just posted the review of the brand new Powershot A95.
I've been researching the sony f828 myself, (have yet to buy) and have found some of the advice there to be quite valuable.
Here's the Canon forum: <a href="http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?forum=1010">http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?forum=1010</a>
And here's the Fuji forum: <a href="http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?forum=1012">http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?forum=1012</a>
Hope that helps.
On a side note, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/articles/photokina2004/">Photokina</a> happens at the end of this month. You just might consider waiting to see what comes out there.
