Canon G5, Fuji S7000, or S602Z??

If you could buy the 7000 or the Canon G5 for the same price, or
the S602 for about $50 USD cheaper, which would it be? I plan on using it
for Wedding photos as well as general shooting. Between the 7000 and the
602z, is the latter a faster shooting camera in continuous mode? I see that
the 7000 has most of the same features that the 602 has with the addition of
the new generation
CCD, but why did they leave out the ISO 800 and 1600 modes? And the 602z
seems to shoot faster according to specs(less shutter lag). Is this true? Is
the 602z Pro only available in the UK? I suppose I could just get a
microdrive here in the US. My wife will also be using this. That's why I was
also considering the Canon G5. The Fuji's look like they might be too big
for her hands. Also, the G5's pix look clearer or brighter than the Fuji's
at dpreview.com. Is this the case or could that difference be due to the
shooter? I wish there was a way to compare the exact same shot with same
settings between different cameras. Thanks again,

Ron

G5 if those were my only choices, but a few hundred more for the 300D Rebel
kit would be worth saving for, especially if you are interested in
functional ISO settings over 200.

I had a similar situation. I chose the G5.

Thanks Eddie, I too was leaning toward the G5 until the availability of that
made the decision for me. So it's the S7000. If this doesn't work out, maybe
I'll return it and wait for more G5s to show up at the price I saw them for.
Thanks again,

Ron

www:imaging-resource.com has reviews of both, including the same pictures
taken under the same conditions. The Fuji seems to produce 'noisier'
pictures, according to those reviews.
