NEWS! - Gateway makes its digicam debut more info on gateway's rebranded cameras - it makes gateways cameras look like a mish-mash of other peoples cameras with no design similaritys other than the fact that they say gateway on them, eg T20 - dark grey - looks a bit like a casio? the M40 looks like a fake nikon (nikon silvery champagne coloured), the M50 - just plain ugly - perhaps a vague copy of the canon a10/20 in design, and the T50 looks more silvery and looks a tiny bit like a canon IXUS - not that i'm saying all these manufacturers just try and copy other camera design... oh no, i would never say that. (plus there's a link there to a camera manufacturer i hadn't previously heard of).

Additional bit to add to fuji 2800 review: Fuji finepix warmth - this seems to be the case with the majority of Fuji cameras - and is likely to be flattering to the subject (it can easily be changed in photoshop if it isn't to your taste) - although the photo of the red leaves in the gallery is overly red - something that definitely needed fixing in photoshop. High compression / slight softness seems to be the case with other Fuji's also. (see photographyblog review of the M603 etc, or the S5000 review on dpreview - a 3MP image on average uses 850k - compare that to the 1.5mb superfine setting on the 3MP Canon a300). The 2800 seems to keep all photos below 780kb regardless of the amount of detail in the picture, which is a shame as photos with high detail, such as the photo of flowers above, or one of a tree with lots of leaves seem to suffer from the amount of compression applied. More recent Fuji cameras, such as the S5000, A202 etc have the shutter release button in the cen
