Try before you buy! XS-1 over FZ200

Before getting my FZ150, I looked carefully at the Fuji.  While I liked the Fuji design and body, (it reminded me  of my FZ50), after careful examination of user and test photos on the Fuji, I could see things I didn't like as compared to the Panasonic.  The bottom line for me was image quality.

However, I don't like the size of the FZ150 or 200- for my size hands, the controls are too jammed together to use easily.  The EVF is way too tiny and with no rubber guard.  The lightness of the camera is nice.  But I'm not going to join the Panasonic can do no wrong club, or the newest camera is best train.

For handling, I prefer my FZ50 over the 150- larger and heavier yes, but decently spaced and sized controls and a normal sized rubber guarded EVF.  I tolerate what I don't physically like about the 150 due to the improved features and image quality.
