Hoogie,
I have had a 602Z since september 2002, and have had many happy months with it. It gives quite a bit of flexibility:
Full auto, program, apeture priority, shutter priority and full manual
Great movie mode
built in or ext flash
6x zoom (35-210 mm equiv)
3.1 Mp or 6.2 using Fuji's super CCD technology
It has good overall contols, and is a fairly versatile camera. You can add on filters using their extension tube as well as wide or tele converters.
The battery life is good, as it use 4xAA batteries and you should get the NMih rechargeables. Get a couple of sets and you'll never run out.
Overall, I have been happy with my results and the overall functioning of the camera. I would definitely recommend it. It will probably be replaced by a new model in the spring, as that is what Fuji has done for the last three years (4900, 6900, s602Z). This should allow you to get a good deal on one now.
Check out my profile for some samples. You can also see some more at my pbase site: //www.pbase.com/mariomel

The 602 is a cracking camera. I too bought one in September after finding my point-n-clicky camera too restricting.
Aperture in manual goes from f2.8 to f11 and shutter from 1/10000 to 15s. Storage options are great with CF and Smartmedia slots.
I say go for it, I have never regretted getting mine.
More samples in my profile & the links in my sig.

I bought mine in November to replace the Fuji FinePix F601 that I broke in October. I'm really enjoying it, especially since I received a tripod for Christmas, resulting in sharper images. You can check out my profile or the link in my signature below.

I love my 602! I've gone from point and shoot, to almost all manual within 5 months! If you have the money I'd spend the extra for the S602Z Pro. It has TTL with the flash, a remote shutter release, and PC cable.
I haven't won a ribbon yet with it, but my day is coming :-)
Here is my gallery of shots with it: S602Z Pics

Why did you choose S602z over...
Try the camera out. Feel it in your hands, work and print with a few samples. Read the dpreview Fuji forum. Look for other reviews at dcresource.com, imaging-resource.com and steves-digicams.com
I am not going to repeat what I like about this camera, my fingers hurt from all that typing.

For what it's worth, I am also exceedingly pleased with mine. I rue the lack of a remote shutter release but ....
