DigitalCameraReview has a head-to-head showdown between the Fujifilm FinePix F100fd and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35 and they write -
“In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve done little to hide the fact that the FX35 is one of my favorite cameras so far in this year’s new crop (it won an Editor’s Choice award around here, after all). Of course, no camera is perfect, and the FX35 is no exception. 
What’s interesting to me in this comparison is how much these two devices complement each other, with the Panasonic’s weaknesses playing to the Fuji’s strengths and vice versa. I suppose one solution would be to buy both, but then you’d be out nearly $700 and two pockets.
The fact that they’re such clear contrasts in some ways – the Fuji’s curviness versus the Panasonic’s straight-edged industrial look, the Panasonic’s vibrant image tone in outdoor shots versus the Fuji’s impressive low light abilities – may make choosing between the F100fd and the FX35 that much easier or that much harder, depending on your perspective. They’re unquestionably different cameras with fairly well-defined capabilities differences, brought together by similar price classing and optically proficient wide-angle lenses on both sides. The perfect camera might well be the one that unites the respective strengths of each of these two competitors, but even on their own, either of these powerful point-and-shoots can be a great choice depending on what your needs are.”
