Budget
I don't really care about budget, so i'm not going to go for the FujiFilm just because it's cheaper, but I can't afford anything like a Canon EOS 20D, and seeing as this is my first camera I want to start of at the bottom. That's why I narrowed it down to these two cameras.
Size
Size doesn't really matter to me at all.
Features
I don't really care about megapixels as long as it's above 4 or 5, and I would prefer a larger optical zoom but don't care about digital zoom as I won't be using it. Image quality is very important to me, probably 9 or 10 out of 10. I would prefer to have more manual controls.
General Usage
I will generally use the camera for macro shots and landscape shots, not so much portraits. I might make reasonably large prints but only if the shot is exceptionally good. I will probably take mostly daylight photos, but also quite a few low light photos. I might take some action photos of wildlife and such, but not of sports.
Miscellaneous
I think FujiFilm and Canon are both very good brands and so aren't really leaning towards one just because of the brand name. I wouldn't really be after any special features, although wide angle and image stabilization might be nice.
If anyone could recommend to me which camera to buy I would very much appreciate it.
