Do not stray from Canon or Nikon. You're pretty much asking for trouble if you do.

Canon makes good stuff, but they also make some not-so-good pieces. Same for Nikon. It depends on what you're looking to do with the camera.

I've carried, shot and abused two models of Fuji cameras and never had any issues. I still use a Fuji S5200 and love it. I think Bruce might agree with me.

I just recently picked up an Olympus DSLR and although it does everything I ask of it, I used the Fuji exclusively at SCR12.

Decide what you want to do with the camera, try out a few to see how they feel in your hand and buy what you like.

And BTW, the Panasonic Lumix is a good camera. (Leica optics!)
