I have searched for Fuji F11 sample shots and found some, see 
http://tinyurl.com/pxbd7   Nice pictures at ISO 100 (like the macro shot of 
the tin car), but I cant' agree the F11 delivers "cleaner" images than the 
GRd. At high ISO it seems to be even the other way round:

F11 high ISO: http://tinyurl.com/lhf2y 
GR digital high ISO http://tinyurl.com/lbhfo 

But it's obsolete to discuss about high ISO noise with such small sensors. 
They're all noisy. Just noise-ninja-it the pix and that's it ;-)

The F11 has no 28mm eq. focal length, only 36mm as widest. It's definitely 
not in the same class of compact landscape and travel shooters. As my 
M6/CV28mm became the combo I use most in alpine environments, such a 
digicompact should cover this focal length for me.

Beside the GRd, there are not that many digicams with 28mm or lower (fix or 
zoom). Come to my mind mostly cameras of Leica/Panasonic and Ricoh, the 
Leica D-Lux 2, Lumix FX01 and LX1, and almost all Ricoh caplio models. Canon 
has one model in this niche, the Powershot S80, Nikon and most others none.

Thanks for the infos anyway
Didier
