Difficult question Anthony. I went through this dilemma some time ago and ended up buying a DSLR. $800 is almost there for a Pentax istDL (around $1K). Although the pixel count is lower on the Pentax, the sensor is bigger and I suspect the noise performance would be better as well and you're not stuck with one compromise lens. With a DSLR you can also do prime focus photography. 10 to one zoom range is nice but without stabilisation can be difficult to use at the telephoto end. The fuji also has an electronic viewfinder which may be difficult to use in low light. Other than that the report looks good and previous Fuji's have been good performers. The review also notes very good noise performance, which is definately a bonus.
