Compared to (at 6MP)...
Below you will find a studio comparison between the Fuji FinePix F810 at it lower 6MP setting and the 6MP Casio EX-P600. We have included samples for the lowest and highest ISO settings for each camera (Fujifilm F810: ISO80 and 400, Casio EX-P600: ISO50 and 400).
* Because of honeycomb layout of SuperCCD pixels the camera first produces a 12 MP 'processed' (interpolated) image from the 6.3 million input pixels. If a smaller size is required this image is then downsampled.

The results clearly show that the F810 is a very good 6MP camera. Noise is well controlled compared to the conventional CCD in the Casio EX-P600, and the vibrant colors are typical Fujilfim. The higher contrast and sharpness are no doubt due in part to the in-camera processing (and there is a hint of over-sharpening here), but it certainly appears there is more detail in the F810's images than the Casio's. One thing I would like to see Fujifilm offering is a lower compression (better quality) JPEG setting at 6MP.
Lens-wise on the slightest fall-off in sharpness towards the edges and corners, but it is not significant, and is unlikely to be visible in real-world shots.
