I should have explained that I have a Fuji 4900Z which I use frequently but
wanted a small pocket camera which I could carry on more occasions than my
4900 and was particularly impressed with the F11 low light capability

If overall image quality is important to you, you can compare images
between cameras at http://www.imaging-resource.com/IMCOMP/COMPS01.HTM.
Hope this helps in your world.

I'd definitely avoid the F11 due to the lack of an optical viewfinder.
That's a no-compromise requirement.

Other drawbacks of the F11 versus the A620 are the shorter zoom, the
poorer macro mode, the lack of ability to use add-on lenses, the lack of
an orientation sensor, and the type of storage (xD). The only advantage
I can see is the Li-Ion battery on the F11, and the larger LCD (but the
LCD is fixed, unlike the A620).

If the F11 is anything like hte F10 it will be significantly superior in terms
of image quality. Nothing is more importatnt IMHO.

The F10 is not superior in image quality to the A620, except at higher
ISO speeds.

And BTW, there are things more important than image quality, or we'd all
be buying Canon 1Ds Mark II SLRs.

Personally, I wouldn't buy the A620 because of the AA batteries, they
are such a pain in the butt that Li-Ion is a no compromise requirement
for me. But the A620 is cheap, like most cameras that use AA batteries.
