Description: Model ID N077960A / Fujifilm FinePix S9600 - Digital camera - 9.0 Mpix - optical zoom: 10.7 x - supported memory: CF, xD-Picture Card, ... more
Fujifilm Finepix S9600 ... Microdrive, xD Type H, xD Type M / Featuring the 1/1.6-inch Super CCD HR sensor, the FinePix S9600 boasts a remarkable 9.0 effective megapixels; ultra-high-resolution images characterized by stunning detail and rich texture. The Super CCD HR offers high sensitivity with unprecedented image quality. Thanks to effective noise suppression performed by the Fujifilm's innovative RP Processor, the S9600 produces beautiful photos without tripod or flash, retaining the natural light and atmosphere of the scene.

With a high-performance zoom lens equivalent to 28-300mm on a 35mm camera, the FinePix S9600 covers the full range photographic possibilities from wide-angle landscape or architectural shots to normal focal length snapshots and telephoto portraits or sports shooting. With no need to carry additional equipment and no photo opportunities missed because of changing lenses.

Because there's no need to change lenses, the sensor is protected from dust accumulation, a common problem that affects the quality of images captured with digital SLR cameras. With the dust-free, integrated lens construction of the FinePix S9600, you can always count on maximum image quality and never worry about sensor cleaning.

The FinePix S9600 sports a bright and easy-to-see 2.0-inch LCD monitor that swivels vertically to let you shoot from high and low angles with ease.

 ... mentioned isn't great but it's good, the camera is well built and fits perfectly in your hand, the screen is clear to view along with the lens having a decent size zoom which also has macro functionality. The macro functionality on the camera is my personal favorite although it only works well if you are incredibly close to the target of your photo otherwise it can't focus. Additionally you are also able to switch off the autofocus on the lens and manually focus on your intended target which is what I prefer for macr...more

This S9600 was my first proper digital camera, I still own it but I moved up to better cameras, but only because I needed the extra zoom and closer macro, this camera did everything right and even a couple things better than my 4x more expensive new one, the noise is well under control, focus is very good (not manual) image quality and resolution was great, but it seems like it would choose low shutter speeds in daylight and make things too bright when left to think for itself, easily fixed with exposure compensation though. A very good, easy to use camera and if you don't need the two extremes of true macro and really big zoom then it is perfect, and you don't ...  Read the complete review

You can read the reviews elsewhere but I would like to add some points These features save you big time money and maintenance. Comes with a 58mm filter thread. This means it can take many accesories like filters/wide angle adapters etc. Uses AA batteries. With Canons you need to buy adapter tubes. Does not attract dust like DSLRs do. The price is a big jump from the lower models (s5600/s5700) but this lens widens a bit more and has more megapixels and zoom range. Also the zoom works in the video mode as well 99% of the DSLRs would not record videos. The quality of the video is very good. Also with SLRs you have ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Fujifilm Finepix S9600: Good entry point to SLR photography (369 words)

This is only our second digital camera, but we decided to go upmarket with this one. The Finepix s9600 has a RRP of £423, but can be found in a lot of places for considerably less than that. We got ours from Amazon for a sweet £179.99. The s9600 is designed to bridge the gap between a point and click camera and a true SLR, and is a good choice for someone looking to get into "proper" photography on a budget. Although the lens is fixed it has a massive 10X optical zoom and super macro settings. There is also the option to screw on other add ons. We fitted ours with a filter lens the minute we got it, just to protect the lens, as if that gets scratched ...  Read the complete review

This was my first professional camera when I first started getting into photography, and I'm still being impressed by it. Before this camera, I was used to piddly little compact digital cameras that you basically turned to 'Auto' and clicked away for easy results. However, I decided I needed something more, and after a bit of careful consideration (mainly over my bank balance than over what camera I wanted, as I was actually clueless), I selected this one. When I first got it out of the box, I was surprised that I immediately knew exactly how to use it without consulting the manual. All the buttons have pictures on so you know exactly what they ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Fujifilm Finepix S9600: A fantastic cross-over camera (187 words)

I purchased this camera when i was looking to cross-over from simple point and shoot cameras into the world of DSLR cameras and I couldn't be more pleased. I purchased this for well below the RRP on amazon for £189.99 and was amazed at the product quality and quality of images it produced at that price point. The camera has a quick startup time and is ready to use within a couple of seconds. There is however a slight lag when using the flash which might be off putting to some. The camera performs well under low light conditions and that ISO settings produce very little noise up-to ISO 800. The macro function on this is brilliant and extremely easy ...  Read the complete review
