slipknot_iw Bro, have you seen the sample photos ? No doubt that Canon is the no.1 camera maker but the product that you have mentioned is a bit more expanesive. Perhaps you should also check the sensor size of Fuji snd the competitor's and as far as I know cnet.com is not really the best site for photography review. I higly recommend dpreview.com which does a very depth review of selected cameras.
