Answer 1

I personally own a Fuji S9500, the model before the 9600. Compared to a true SLR here are the problems I had

1) Slow erratic auto focus - especially in low light
2) electronic viewfinder (evf) means you cannot see accurately enough to manually focus
3) Image quality - the sensor is nowhere near as good as an SLR landscape images were just not sharp and clear
4) No focus distance markings - no way to tell what distance the lens is focussed for
5) Shutter lag - SLRs are much faster

I then moved on to a Nikon D50 and I love it, so much so that I then bought a D80 - I love that too. I am now a sworn Nikon fan, but given your choices I would unhesitatingly get the Canon. An SLR camera is the start of a system that you can build on, the possibilities are endless.

Answer 2

the fuji is pretty good for what it is, but it's not a DSLR. The Fuji S9600 compares with other ultrazoom cameras such as the Panasonic FZ50, not other DSLRs.

There are pro's and cons of digicam vs DSLR which I won't go into here- but if you're looking for a DSLR. A fast focus, low light capable, interchangable lens, optical viewfinder type camera... the Fuji S9600 isn't one. The Canon XT and XTi are fine examples (and have plenty of competition from the likes of the Nikon D80, Pentax K10D, Sony (former Minolta) A100 and a few others.

also, be very careful. Some web shops are stripping the camera from the box. Yes you get the camera, but that's it, no battery, no cables, etc. Just be forwarned.
