neilson, now i am completely confused on whether to get the Canon or the Fuji. :(

the thing edging me towards the canon is image stabilisation.

please can someone who knows about cameras look at the link and give me some advice? thank you!!

You have a canon Nilsen? you pleased with it?

Yes, i have seen that it has abit more noise than some but also more detail. Noise can be edited out, but a lack of detail cant. Make sure that the photos you are referring to are not taken at higher ISO levels than the fujifilm tho.
