Title of review s9000 is outstanding
What are the strengths? features, features, and more features......
battery will last longer if you use the discharge feature.
read the manual or you will be very frustrated with this camera.
if you have some experience in the field of photography that will help as well. i cannot believe that after 6 months i am still learning some of the features, its truly an amazing camera for the price. i would have paid more knowing what i know now.

What are the weaknesses? i wish there were a better low battery indicator.
it suddenly appears on view screen that batteries are low, when they are nearly drained. it would be nice to see the battery charge before its too low to power the camera.
i always have 4 AA 2500mah rechargeables on hand just in case.
thats it really, no other negative remarks or suggestions.
Summary the last time i felt like i got more than my moneys worth was when i purchased the sony ericcson p910i cell phone for a couple hundred bucks.
yea, ok i am a gadget freak and i study like heck before i make a purchase. trust me when i say this s9000 camera will challenge you in a most positive manner. dont be afraid to LEARN!!!!

Title of review SLR like
What are the strengths? The FinePix S9000 features Fujifilm's groundbreaking Real Photo Technology, a 5th Generation Super CCD HR sensor, Fujinon 10.7x wide-angle zoom lens, high resolution color viewfinder and a tilting color LCD display. The builtin flash can be supplemented with more powerful clipon flash units via the hot shoe and the camera can be connected to bracket mounted or studio flashes with the external PC flash sync port.
What are the weaknesses? Noise can be detected in shadows at ISO 200 and in highlight areas at ISO 400.
Summary The S9000 is a very capable prosumer digicam. With its 9-megapixel imager, 28-300mm mechanically controlled zoom lens, extensive exposure and in-camera processing controls, automatic and advanced shooting modes, there's little that you can't do with this camera.

Title of review everything is good
What are the strengths? The FinePix S9000 Zoom features Fujifilm’s brand new 5th generation Super CCD sensor, and offers an image size of nine megapixels. Recognising that image quality is determined by more than just pixel count, the inclusion of Fujifilm’s Real Photo Technology gives the FinePix S9000 Zoom a true advantage. A new tilting LCD screen on the camera means that it is possible to view images at awkward angles, such as close to the ground or above the head. Unlike digital SLRs, the LCD can also be used to compose images, which means even more convenience for the photographer.
What are the weaknesses? the built is not so good.
Summary With a 0.8 second start-up time, and just 0.01 second shutter lag, the FinePix S9000 Zoom will give users a near-instant response so that spontaneous shots and unexpected action need never be missed.

Title of review Low end d-SLR
What are the strengths? it can be used as a simple point-n-shoot in Auto and Scene modes. Fuji has produced a high quality lens for the S9000, one that complements its 9-megapixel imager nicely.
What are the weaknesses? The S9000 can capture RAW images, but its performance suffers. In single shot mode, the S9000 could capture RAW shots at lethargic 9.8 second intervals. image quality suffers at high ISO settings
Summary The S9000 is a very capable prosumer digicam. With its 9-megapixel imager, 28-300mm mechanically controlled zoom lens, extensive exposure and in-camera processing controls, automatic and advanced shooting modes, there's little that you can't do with this camera.

Title of review SLR like cam
What are the strengths? With its 9-megapixel imager, 28-300mm mechanically controlled zoom lens, extensive exposure and in-camera processing controls, automatic and advanced shooting modes, there's little that you can't do with this camera.
What are the weaknesses? In single shot mode, the S9000 could capture RAW shots at lethargic 9.8 second intervals.The lens produces a moderate amount of chromatic aberration, an average amount of barrel distortion at wide angle, and little-to-no pin cushioning in the moderate to telephoto range.
Summary The S9000 is a very capable prosumer digicam that allows u to take advanced photos without much hassle.
