In-case anyone needs a DSLR pocketable back-up camera.

The Fuji Fxx doesn't have a 1/2.5" sensor so it isn't one
"of those miserable 1/2.5" sensored P&S cameras" in the
first place.

And wouldn't know how to use one if he did. Though I suppose he's *posed*
often enough for his "uncle."

Papable: proper behaviour for a papal appointee (so a bishop or cardinal).

I know. I mentioned 1/2.5" because it has become the most-used sensor
in those near useless long zoom P&Ss.
There are still a few P&S using larger sensors, not many though.

That's using facts! That's discriminatory to use against
fact-challenged people like RichA!

Well, of course--the Fuji has a metal body and the Nikon is made of

The Fuji is a metal-plastic combo.

But high-contrast detail (like in the bottle neck label) easily
survives heavy noise reduction. Looking at the images, it is obvious
that a lot of smoothing and then sharpening was applied to the fuji
image. For example, look at the texture on the camera leather (or
whatever it is): in the D50 image, it is visible, while in the fuji
image, it's not, and it looks like it was smoothed and then sharpened
(the remaining artifacts are characteristic of this).

Reminds me of the comparison a mag here made a few years ago of the Tamron
28-200 (first generation) and the 28-70 f/2.8 AF-S + 80-200 f/2.8 AF-S
Nikkor combo.
They concluded the Tamron was superior everywhere.
Cheaper, lighter, smaller, and you don't have to change lenses anymore.
Of course the only thing that really matters, image quality, was never
mentioned. The images illustrating the article didn't mention the lens or
camera used to make them, nor the film.
