I wouldn't do it. Not that the Fuji is a bad camera -- it may in
fact be the best of its kind -- but it's a several-hundred-dollar
(pound) investment in a technological dead-end. There's nothing from
your present system you could bring over (though that would be the
case with anything but Oly and Canyon). More importantly, though,
the system offers no expandability. There's nothing you could do
about having a fixed lens that may not be good for the kind of
photography you want to do. Speaking personally, I'd rather buy into
a good system with a used DSLR than spend the money on a box that
has little future. That way money you spend on lenses and filters
and the like has a good chance of serving you longer.
