Fuji FinePix S9500 Zoom Digital Camera

Pros: 10.7x Optical Zoom, 9MPX, CF & XD Cards

Cons: Need to read manual to get all the functions

The Bottom Line: I recommend it based on initial impressions - will update with more upon testing.

Review: NEW TOY, NEW TOY ... I'm so excited ... I'm about to head out to vacation and my 2 current digital cameras are compacts with limited functionality, though easy to carry around and with 5 megapixels (MPX) they don't offer a lot of options for my more ...

Pros: No noticeable shutter lag Great focus light Twin media options Great picture quality

Cons: None really noticed so far !

The Bottom Line: An excellent camera at this level, certainly will do everything required by an enthusiast. Great picture quality, No noticeable shutter lag, good lens, superb macro facility.

Review: I have just had the opportunity to trial the S9500 for a few days. I am a Police photographer, with a force that is just about to make the switch to digital. We are obviously considering our options in terms of SLR's as we have a large quantity of Nikon ...

Pros: Comfortable, fast, fantastic macro mode, cable release option!

Cons: some low light issues

Review: I have had this camera for over six months after owning an Olympus C2500. The Fuji DOES require manual reading. It is a feature rich camera that has many benefits to it's user. The 28-300mm has nothing in its class that compares. I have had no faults ...

Pros: There are a lot of pros to many to list realy.

Cons: No cons at all. The camera is perfect

Review: I have got to say that this camera is one of the best digital cameras I have purchased. The s9500 is very easy to use the manual is very easy to follow. The controls on the camera are very easy to understand. The s 9500 looks and feels great to use. The ...

Pros: Manual focus..extra speed focusing...extra pixels..

Cons: Seems to creak like a new leather sofa!

Review: Just brought this camera so reveiw is based on a few days use[I hade a fuji S1]and still have a finepix 5000. Changes from the 5000 make the option of not reading the manual a bad choice...be brave and you will save time..camera is bigger than the ...

Pros: OK Image quality Great Lens Solid build

Cons: Noise above iso 200 Poor focusing in poor light Focusing slow for fast moving objects

The Bottom Line: I no longer recommend this camera because DSLR's are much better and cost only a little more.

Review: I have been a serious amateur photographer since I bought my first SLR in 1969. My review is based on almost 7 months of use and 4000 pictures. Well made with great handling. Lot's of manual controls. It's build quality is about equal to the Nikon D50 ...

Pros: Potentially stunning images. Good low light pictures. 10x zoom. Good Battery life; Auto focus.

Cons: Micro-drive performance. Not the most logical menu structure. Creaks and groans a lot!

The Bottom Line: Can't recommend it due to Micro-drive performance.

Review: Had this camera for a few days now, the one big disappointment is Micro-drive performance. If you've got an IBM 4GB Micro-drive, DO NOT buy this camera. It's supposed to support it, and in a way it does, but performance is terrible. Video is nigh on ...

Pros: good colors

Cons: low sharpness

Review: I'm not a professional at cameras, but I really needed one. So... I started browsing the shops, taking into account my friend's advices. I considered Fuji's FinePix S9000 Zoom. I noticed several improvements, new features added, probably to withstand ...

Pros: Handling, zoom, long battery life

Cons: Poor photos, noise/grain even at low ISO

Review: I've had my S9500 for two weeks now & I would give it 5/10. The zoom & handling is great but the photo quality lets this camera down BIG time! If you like a lot of noise (grain) in your photos then this is the camera for you - if not - don't buy this ...

Pros: Instant startup, fast AF in good light, look and feel, accepts standard AA batteries, feature-rich.

Cons: Image quality; AF doesn't lock properly; Changing to RAW requires 12(!) steps.

The Bottom Line: Stay away! Poor image quality and AF problems caused me to return it to the store.

Review: Very impressive camera on paper. Looks great and feels almost like an SLR, although the plastic grip has a cheap feel to it. There are some serious problems with this model, though, which caused me to return it to the shop after 2 days. The biggest ...
