It look to me to be a cross between the F200 and F70 in one camera, but unfortunately the sensor is only 1/2 inch so I doubt it will improve on the F200's image quality. If only Fuji could have kept the 1/1.6 sensor from the F200 !
The super zoom range from 24-360mm is nice, and a big improvement on the F70.
The F300 also features a better LCD and HD video so these things do improve slightly on the F200.
Overall I'm still glad that I bought one of the last F200's, as I doubt the F300 will be much more than an extended range F70.
My advice would be to get one of the remaining F200's if at all possible.
The F300 looks to me just like any other super zoom relying on a big zoom range for sales.
