I've seen Fujifilm digital cameras for sale online and I'm really impressed with their X-Range. Both compact and with a great lenses, they offer the same quality as a DSLR according to the reviews. Is anybody else is shooting with a Fuji camera? Can anybody recommend them based on experience? Or would anybody recommend against and for what reason? Looking forward to hearing the thoughts of others.

They have a large range to find one that fits your niche of price and performance.
We had a fujifilm point and shoot years ago, it did take nice pictures.

Thanks for the pointers guys. I'll check out both Canon and Lumix. (And cats and dogs!)
