Buy a Canon S1 IS, or a Pro 1. Or even a G series if you don't really need the long zoom.

A good friend of my g/fs has the previous generation model to that Fuji, its very similar, but with lower MP.
He was bragging about how great it was, and how much fun he was having with it untill I showed him my A80.
The amount of control and ease of use of the A80 simply amazed him.
After seeing the range of shutter speeds and apature sizes avliable (greater range and number of stops/speeds in between) and the canons much faster lens (F2.8 compared to close to F4.0) he swore he would buy Canon next time.

IMO the Fuji prosumer series are great cameras for people who want to look like they have a great camera, while the Canons are great cameras for people who want to take great photos.
