I had a Fuji before the Nikon. The Fuji was much easier to use. The Nikon takes a little work to get it to do what you want, but once I figured it out (after about three months), I do like it better.

I would still be using the Fuji today if it had not been stolen. Do not remember which model Fuji I had, but it was very easy to use, much more so than the Nikon.
