My friend has the S9000, and loves it; I would too recommend an entry level DSLR.
Of course going that route throws up the extra cost for glass that would be needed to cover the 28-300mm range of the S9000. There are always pros and cons, no mater your choice. The benefit of that is that SLR lenses will be of use long after the camera is obsolete, very much a disposable market now days where cameras are concerned.
The image quality from the 350D/Rebel XT, D50.D70s etc are superior because of the larger sensor/pixels.
Not really noticeable on web size images and smallish prints, on large prints though IMO the difference is more noticeable.
The thing that I have notices most from my friends images is purple fringing on brightly backlit scenes, this though is a problem with a fair percentage of digi cams to some degree.
That all said and done the S9000 is a very capable camera, as are most of the Fuji line.
The issues with image quality are inherent to all compacts not just the S9000
If you do get the S9000 though, I am sure you will not be disapointed.
