I like it. With the announcement of the U20 being somewhat disappointing as far as what my own needs are, I'm looking at the P2 (only 2MP, but that's fine. I want it for the portability, low cost and the Movie EX and HQX modes).
What are your thoughts on the P9 for a second take everywhere type
compac [sic] camera?

I am in the market for a small 3+mega pixel camera.

I looked at the Sony and the Cannon Digital ELF (S) series. I liked that both offered underwater cases. But I went with Cannon because the Sony AC adapters (all of them) are huge - larger than the cameras in the P series. The Cannon external chargers are smaller than the camera.

tried one (U10) in a shop this week

found that the sub postage stamp size of the LCD viewfinder was just too tiny for me to work with (and even worse for wife who has eyesight issues)
have now reluctantly passed it by (sob ...)

You realize, of course, that you'll need to hope a plane to the UK to get it, right? Or where in Europe do you think you'd find it cheapest? It's almost certainly not coming here.
I don't care about the U20, I want my F77.

Hi Ulysses,

Yes! The U20 is announced.. now, there's reason for me to get this one. However, if the price is gonna be $270.. for about $80 more, I could get a Fuji 3800z with 6x zoom zoom.. hmm...

It's more blurry than ever...

ahhh! haha. not geared towards any of you. it just sux... that i
bought a f707.. one week later, f717 announced...
If I'd purchased a 707 and a week later the 717 was announced I'd have returned the 707 immediately!!!
same thing with the u10... now u20. greatnes.s
Thanks to the family store slowness I was able to cancel my U10 order this morning. I'll order the U20 as soon as it's in their computer system.

If I couldn't have cancelled the order I'd have put it on eBay; but that's kinda a pain and I'd rather avoid it if possible.
