E900 or A620?

After I diagnosed my camera as broken (or at least beyond reasonable repair cost - see here) I have been searching for a replacement.

Whittling it down through cost and features I have narrowed it down to the 2 cameras in the topic title.

Which is the better camera?

Ordering in the next 2 days so I have it for the weekend

From the Fuji E900 or Canon A620 I'd take the Canon.

The review below has a link to a similar review for the Canon and the Canon comes out slightly on top.

You will probably be pleased with either. I have the E550 which is the older version of the E900. I have been pretty pleased with it and haven't really come across any major problems other my lazyness which I can't blame on fuji.

If you don't do much photography in really dark conditions then I would get the fuji. It has excellent IQ and will take raw format but doesn't have a af asist light.

My only real regret is I find the small digicam style a bit strange to use with the rear screen and sometimes wish I had gone for a bigger superzoom style. But that would apply to both of the cameras you are looking at.

I would look at some reviews and other boards though as you will just get lots of Canon fans here telling you to get the Canon simply because it is Canon

Not to say it is a bad camera though, as I say both are good and I am sure if they both fit the usage you have then you will be happy with either.
