I love rangefinders, but what I have seen from the Fuji rangefinder
board was not impressing to me at all. Maybe they are poor scans? The
color looks bland. I'd rather have the Canon though I think the Canon
color is rather rough/bland looking unless you put some
Zeiss/Rollei/etc. glass on it. It is definitely a LOT nicer than the
other Canon stuff (whatever sensor is in the 5D is much nicer than in
say the 20D, 1DS, etc.). I'd rather have the 5D with good Zeiss/Rollei
glass than anything I saw from the Fuji stuff, in spite I did find some
images that are simply beautiful.

If you want a comparison to the Nikon 9000, considered to be better
than the 8000 known to band a lot, check this:

Aside from color which can be adjusted, they don't look much different
to me. They are also blowups from a TINY little portion of a very big
landscape image.

I think some know how to use the machines and some don't (as you
demonstrated by that person who did the comparison of the same scanner
to your 8000).
