Which Camera?

In short, I need to know which camera to buy. I'm limiting myself to 230 dollars with a memory card, and these fill the options well but I'm stuck at this point. Links are below, and if you have time, read the entire post. Theres ALOT of info. Thanks in advanced.


I've been researching this for hours but I'm still unsure of which camera to get. I've looked at some blog site photos taken with each camera and they both look very good. However, I want a first hand opinion, meaning if you own one of these cameras please reply.

Here are links to each:

Fujifilm FinePix F20
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16830122089

Olympus FE-180
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16830111042

and I'll be buying this card for storage:

I'm really leaning towards the F20 beasue everytime I try to find something wrogn with it it turns out better. Here are some reviews for each:
F20:

http://www.photographyblog.com/index...f20_review.htm
http://www.computeractive.co.uk/comp...lm-finepix-f20

FE-180
http://reviews.cnet.com/Olympus_FE_1...-31965095.html
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0608/06...lyfe170180.asp

And here is a blog site with pics from a F20:

One odd thing is that the photography blog review for the F20 has VERY blurry pictures but personal pics come out just fine. Also, the FE-180 pics are just fine in the reviews and are somewhat decent in the blog sites (not posted here)...

Ant help is really appreciated. Please respond if you can. I need to have this in time for my new years eve party.
Thank you, Adam.

I bought a FinePix A600 in early August for $179.99 USD at Best Buy. Feature-wise it's pretty good. 3X optical zoom, 2.4" LCD panel, movie recording (quite impressive on this model), and more. I took hundreds of megabytes of photos (filled up my 512MB xD card quickly) while on the trip but only posted one of them online...
