Cannon S80 vs. Fuji E900

[mattchicago]

Hi all. I hope you can help. I would like some advice. I am deciding between the Cannon S80 and the Fuji E900. I am a novice photographer and want the standard point and shoot capabilities but I am also planning on becoming more serious and would like a camera to grow into. I have read very good reviews of the S80 but not much yet on the Fuji as it is so new but what I read has been very positive as well.. Which would you recommend and why or should I consider something else?
