For those not convinced the power of F10 at ISO 1600, i.e. shooting hand
held at night time without using flash, here are some stills from Canon
SD200, Canon SD400, Fuji F10 and Nikon Coolpix 7900:

Definitely noisy in the full sized image, but not bad at all at web
size. Do you have comparable 1600-speed shots from the other cameras?

Other than having 6mp vs. the Finepix Z1's 5mp, how else does the
F10 differ from it? In a brief mention of it I see only that the Z1
is 18.3 mm thin (no mention of the F10's dimensions) and that they
both were designed to be more effective at high ISOs. If their
sensors are the same size, the Z1 might have a bit less noise.

Not with those in the link but with a D70!

Z1 has a 1/2.5" sensor. This is confirmed in a review/report of Z1 from
Japan, where the new camera was released on 2005-04-25.
http://www.livingroom.org.au/photolog/reviews/fuji/fuji...
http://www.itmedia.co.jp/lifestyle/articles/0504/25/new... (in
Japanese). The description of the SuperCCD is at the start of the first
paragraph on page 3.
