...then pop over to the FujiFilm website (also if you want to check out full tech specs)
To Conclude, i think this camera is the best thing since sliced bread! It is in a decent price bracket as well as being well featured, having a very high picture quality and a moderately easy to use interface. If you want to jump into the world of semi professional photography, but don't want an SLR, then i would recommend the S9500.

simply a superb camera for the money,9mp,massive zoom,good shutter speeds and stacks of features.low light performance is not brilliant,but hey,turn the lights on!
i would recommend this to anyone
Advantages: 9MP camera with super CCD technology Disadvantages: Noise on high contrast photo,s
The S9500 sits at the top end of the Fuji range with a price tag to match, depending on where you look it varies from £290 to £350, although you can sometimes pick up a cheap bargain through the Fuji website which offers refurbed kit.
For all you techno's here are some of the specs:
Effective pixels. 9.0 million pixels
CCD sensor. 1/1.6 super CCD HR Sensor (means it's good)
Storage media. xD-Picture card, Compactflash, Microdrive
File format. ... ...Fujinon lens, F2 - F8
Focus. Auto, continuous AF, manual
LCD monitor is a 1.8" TFT which is also tiltable.
Exposure control. Program AE, shutter priority AE, aperture priority AE manual exposure.
I think that is enough of the techno stuff , let's discuss the good and bad of the camera.
Being at the top end you would expect the S9500 to take exceptional photo's, which it does, once you have learnt how to use it. This camera is the bridge between ...

Advantages: good quality colours pictures, light weight, lots of features Disadvantages: slow focus and taking shot
I bought my FinePix S9500 on ebay and the price was very decent! This is my second digital camera after my stepsons broke my beloved first one and I just love it. I take it with me everywhere - it's still quite light weight having the manual zoom lense. Being an amateur i enjoy the manual lense even though I mostly shoot in AUTO mode. I have one beautiful night picture taken with it and find great for night shooting.
I use the camera a lot for taking ... ...well for them, but action shots are difficult as I find focussing is slow if the object moves quite quickly. There is also that slow a bit shutter lag, that you press the button and there is a delay before the shot is taken.
But still I would recommend it. ...

Manufacturer's product description
Fujifilm FinePix S9500 Zoom is a new model that marks the point where compact digital cameras and digital SLRs meet. Aimed at amateur and enthusiast photographers, the FinePix S9500 Zoom features resolution good enough to challenge entry-level digital SLRs. It combines this with a range of features that enable a level of photographic flexibility more often associated with compact digital cameras. The FinePix S9500 Zoom features Fujifilm's brand new 5th generation Super CCD sensor, and offers an image size of nine megapixels. Recognizing that image quality is determined by more than just pixel count, the inclusion of Fujifilm's Real Photo Technology gives the FinePix S9500 Zoom a true advantage. It has a class-leading sensitivity range of ISO 80 - ISO 1600, which reduces the need for reliance on image stabilization. The ISO range means that sharp, focused images can be achieved in all light conditions - from bright sunny days to night-time shots - without the use of a flash. Fast shutter speeds not only lessen the effect of blurring from camera shake, but subject movement, too. The camera incorporates a 28-300mm (equivalent on a 35mm camera) Fujinon zoom lens with twist-barrel zoom control. This is a zoom range that encompasses all the major focal lengths, and the manual zoom control enables the photographer to make precision adjustments. Furthermore, because the lens and body on the FinePix S9500 Zoom are built as a closed unit, it eliminates the possibility of dust on the lens and CCD - a serious problem when removing lenses on a digital SLR. 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. In addition, the camera features a 30-frames-per-second movie mode with manual zoom capability, giving high quality moving images with sound - a function that cannot be integrated into traditional digital SLRs due to the physical design of the cameras. With a 0.8 second start-up time, and just 0.01 second shutter lag, the FinePix S9500 Zoom will give users a near-instant response so that spontaneous shots and unexpected action need never be missed. The camera also incorporates RAW mode, for uncompressed and unprocessed image quality. A hot-shoe attachment and PC sync terminal for external flash make it a camera that's as happy in the studio as it is out and about.
==SPEC==
IMAGE QUALITY: It does have good points however. 7.2 Megapixels isn't bad for the price. The Optical Zoom is a slightly below-average 3x, with a respectable 4.8 Digital Zoom. Most features, however, are only standard - nothing unusual. This... more

When i opened the box for my Fuji S5800 camera about a month ago, I knew that I had made a good choice for my second camera. I still have my Pentax Optio S7 but I wanted a camera that would allow me much more creativity with my photos.
