I used the canon elph sd300 as a benchmark since I loved it (until the switch started flaking.) I set them both to 1600x1200, since you don't care about high resolution for a blog picture and because the fujifilm has a 12800 ISO it might use if it's set below 3Mpixil. I set the bottle swinging and took the photo at the same time with both cameras.

You can see it does what it says, the bottle is almost blur free, however...
Here are the scaled full sized images:
you an really see the graininess. Now here's the kicker. Here I've forced it to ISO400 AND gave it a flash.
and the 100% crop:
I really can't decide if it's worth it. Am I completely spoiled by the quality of the canon (which, when new was a different price bracket entirely)? Or am I right to think that even though the lack of blur is great, the general quality lacking even under the best conditions?
