There is more to it than pure pixel count and even if the image quality was as good – a dslr is also part of a system so you can upgrade in the future (the lens for example if the soon to be released Nikon 70-300 VR turns out to be good). I like Fuji and have one of their earlier “bridge” cameras but between the two I would have no hesitation in saying the Nikon is the one to go for.
