I'm on a tight budget($175) and want to get the best value on a digital camera… Notice one have a 3 year warranty on it but the other doesn't… Which is the best value for the price?

PS. I'm not goint to add warranty on the nikon because it would be too much $, I just need to know which is the best value.

This Comparison awards it to the Nikon

But this to the Fuji

A really telling feature of the Fuji, may be the electronic viewfinder, and the full manual mode, and the greater zoom range, giving the Fuji more claim to be a "bridge" model than the L810.

On the other hand, the L810 has a better screen, though still poor in bright outdoor conditions, and some trick modes for panorama and 3D stitching.
It's quite a bit smaller and lighter than the Fuji.

Don't forget, you'll also need batteries (both are 4x AA type, Alkaline, Lithium (longest life) or NiMH & charger) and SD/SDHC/SDXC card.
