C/Net has a good combination of reviews, seller ratings and price/availability.
Here's their page on the S5100, sorted by price.

Back in December I bought a new Canon PowerShot A85 along with a few accessories from B&H Photo over the internet. Items were shipped promptly with no other problems. I would definitely do business with them again. Prices were either the lowest or very close to the lowest I could find.

Here is the camera i will be getting when i decide to buy again. It is 3.2 megapixels which is plenty good for 8 by 10 pictures. It has a image stabilizer built in also. It is one of the highest rated cameras in its class.

I purchased my new camera from Adorama Camera through Amazon.com. Price was competitive and delivery was in less than a week.

Durbob, I bought a Minolta Dimage Z1 a year or so ago that looks a lot like that Cannon camera. You're right about the 3 megapixel range being fine for 8X10's. If the Cannon is like the Minolta Z1, they are hard to beat it for the price range. There is a lot of bang for the buck! The 30fps full motion video is great as well. With a 1 gig SD card, I practically use the little Z1 for a camcorder as well.

I read the dpreview on the Canon and then read there about the Fuji, I'll have to go to Steve's site and do some reading there, looks a lot like the dpreview format so it will be interesting. If I didn't have all the accessories that will work with the Fuji, the Canon with the image stabilization would certainly be in the running, it looks impressive. Thanks

I bought mine on Amazon with no problems. I priced around and found it very hard to beat their prices.

Don't forget to include the shipping and handleing charges when priceing. It's amazing how much some retailers will add onto an order after giving a really low purchase price.

Another guy in my office ordered a digital from Ritz Camera about a month ago and was pleased with the price and service.

I bought mine from Best Buy during a sale and it was actually very close in cost to the best deal I could find online. Plus I got 6 months same as cash.

I've had my eye on the Fuji S5100 for about a year now. I like the 10X optical zoom. I currently have the Fuji S3800 and unfortunately it works fine so I have no need for the S5100. Maybe I can drop it accidently. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif Have you looked at Tiger Direct for prices? I don't know how they compare on cameras but their prices on PC's and parts is very reasonable. I have purchased a ton of equipment from them with never an issue.
