  Hi, there:

I just posted my opinion on digital camera brands here:

To answer specifically your questions... I am pretty sure that an SLR is the only type of digital camera whose lenses are interchangeable.

As for Fuji and Canon... I personally have been very pleased with the Canon PowerShots and haven't heard many complaints about them. However, I have heard many complaints about Fuji's image processing. Apparently a lot of the photos come out with a lot of noise. But I've seen good pictures that were taken by Fujis also.

Hope that helps.
