Fuji FinePix S9000

(11/10/05)
Summary: The Fuji FinePix S9000 is a good choice if you're looking for a superzoom that offers very good image quality and lots of useful features, but the smallish LCD and high price keep it from unseating our Editors' Choice. Read the full review
Pros: ; Excellent manual zoom ring. Lighter and smaller than our Editors' Choice, the Panasonic DMC-FZ30. Very good picture quality.
Cons: ; Slow burst rate. Small LCD for today's market. Expensive. Some noise because of Real Photo Technology.

(10/6/05)
Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: The Fujifilm FinePix S9000 is one of the best EVF models at mimicking budget dSLR features, but it doesn't match the image quality.
Pros: ; dSLR-like handling; solid performance; long zoom range; dual external-flash connections.
Cons: ; Chromatic aberration; noise-reduction artifacts at high ISOs.

FujiFilm FinePix S9000 Review


Summary: All in all the Fuji S9000 is a truly interesting camera containing some impressive specifications. It's not a perfect camera, nobody is perfect, but it's a strong competitor for the digital reflex camera. This hybrid model always turns out well for Fujifilm. The specifications of the Fujifilm S9000 make it a real digital killer. If we... Read the full review

Fujifilm Finepix S9000


Summary: The Fujifilm FinePix S9000 has some of the best attributes of a single-lens reflex model in an all-in-one body, but it's still a large, bulky camera that doesn't cost much less than a true SLR. It has a fixed 28mm-to-300mm lens--quite long for a fixed-lens digital camera, yet the lens is pretty compact. The zoom is manually operated; you... Read the full review
Verdict: The S9000 has 9 megapixels and a long zoom, at a price that's close to SLR territory.
Pros: ; Rugged body; Long zoom
Cons: ; Lacks controls found on competing models

DCRP Review: Fuji FinePix S9000


Summary: Read the full review
Pros: ; Good high ISO performance for a non-SLR camera; Good macro mode for an ultra zoom; Dual memory card slots; Hot shoe and flash sync port for external flash; Solid, SLR-style body with manual zoom/focus rings; USB 2.0 High Speed support; No redeye; Fast startup, focusing, shot-to-shot speeds (assuming you're not using RAW mode); Very good
Cons: ; Camera offers RAW mode but no software to do anything with it; RAW option is buried in setup menu; Full shutter speed range only available in M mode; No focus distance shown on LCD/EVF in manual focus mode; While better than fixed lens cameras, images are noisier than similarly priced D-SLRs; Body suffers from "button clutter"; Tiny
