Fujifilm Finepix S9500

This Fuji offering was my first dip into the world of digital photography, having said for years i would never go there. I had my own darkroom at home and loved the flexibiltiy of doing what i wanted, and swore i would never enjoy the digital world in the same way. Though i still maintain that there is something very special about developing your own photos, and i will never lose that passion, i have to admit that the digital world also has its very own appeal. The ease of being able to take as many photos as you like (dependant on your memory card) and then only print the best selction is great - you can take 20 photos of a views on different settings and ...  Read the complete review

This camera is a real gem, especially for the price. Having tried the odd digital camera in the past, I was concerned that its quality migt not be up to that of my old Minolta. However, it far surpassed my expectations in nearly all ways. If you are a beginner to photography, you will find the automatic settings nearly perfect. It is great at choosing the right settings whether you are inside or out, with or without the flash. But, if you happen to be a bit more adventurous, there are plenty of more advanced settings as well as the ability to take short films. and, incidently, the manual is very clearly written too. Quality of the pictures is ...  Read the complete review

I Love this camera my friend bought this one whilst i went for the fits in your pocket one, this out shines it considering they are both by fujifil finepix you can feel the quality in this. The photo's have all been excellent the face recognition is a god send so you can just point and shoot if you need to or go manual. Would definatly get this one next time as it's great for the amature photographer and at a great price. Also love the fact you can use video (not brilliant but good quality) so you don't have to have your video camera with you just to snatch a few seconds of footage. I think this would be a great purchase for anyone just starting out or with a bit of ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Fujifilm Finepix s9500 a few months ago on ebay, wanting to get into photography without a clue of how to use a professional camera. I instantly picked up what to do. The camera is pretty easy to figure out, without having to read through all the manuals! I love the feel of this camera, and the quality. it makes photography easy, and isnt as heavy as a lot of professional cameras that are almost as good. It includes a variety of easy-to-use features, such as the shutter-speeds. I was pleasantly surprised with this camera, having had a fujifilm finepix digital camera previously, which didnt at all impress me. So if you have bought a ...  Read the complete review

I have owned this camera for over 2 years now and have no intention of selling it until it breaks. This is about as close as you can get to a DLSR without the hefty pricetag. There are six automatic shooting options, one option to record video (with sound, and the quality isn't that bad either), and then there are the manual settings. You can also shoot Macro with this camera without needing an external lense. Automatic settings are: -Auto -Anti-Blur -Natural Light -Night -Portrait Landscape And then the manual settings are either Shuttery Priority or Aperture Priority. If you are a novice to photography then ...  Read the complete review
