Advantages: DSLR functions at a fraction of the price, high quality pictures Disadvantages: need to devote some time to learn how to use it's many features.
...later I upgraded to a Fujifilm E550 which was a great compact camera - it had a good quality 6.3 megapixel sensor and full manual but it wasn't really that user-friendly and used to eat batteries which was annoying when it turned itself off just as you lined up the perfect picture!
So a couple of years on and I once again found myself in a position where I wanted to upgrade - this time I decided on a "proper" camera, one ... ...importantly, usable) manual / semi-manual options for creative purposes, and also a fully automatic mode for ease of use. It should also have a good zoom, macro and look nice too :)
After some googling I decided a DSLR would be perfect, but unfortunately they are about £300 over my budget! This is where the S9600 steps in - it is somewhere in the middle between a compact digital camera and a DSLR.
I purchased this camera just over a week ago now, I wanted something that would take "good" pictures and also give me the ease and immediacy of digital.
I have quite a good background in photographic techniques - starting out many years ago with 35mm SLR cameras, developing and printing my own black and white films etc. I then moved onto a basic 2.4 megapixel camera which was good for "snaps" but didn't have the overrides to let you be more creative, and I missed the control of "proper" cameras.
A couple of years later I upgraded to a Fujifilm E550 which was a great compact camera - it had a good quality 6.3 megapixel sensor and full manual but it wasn't really that user-friendly and used to eat batteries which was annoying when it turned itself off just as you lined up the perfect picture!
So a couple of years on and I once again found myself in a position where I wanted to upgrade - this time I decided on a "proper" camera, one which would take high-quality pictures, offer a full (and more importantly, usable) manual / semi-manual options for creative purposes, and also a fully automatic mode for ease of use. It should also have a good zoom, macro and look nice too :)
After some googling I decided a DSLR would be perfect, but unfortunately they are about £300 over my budget! This is where the S9600 steps in - it is somewhere in the middle between a compact digital camera and a DSLR.
It has a huge zoom lens, you can't change the lens, but it's 10.7 zoom (28 - 300 35mm equivalent) should cover 99.9% of situations.
It has a super-macro which focuses 1cm from the lens! This will allow you to get superb close-up pictures.
It's 9.1 megapixel sensor captures fine detail and is able to provide much better pictures than smaller and inferior compact camera sensors.
The buttons are laid out in a sensible spread - in a short time you'll know your way around and be able to let the camera decide the best settings to use or take over to exert your own creative control!
I don't want this review to drone on and on, the specifications are at the top of the page, and I can honestly say it's the best digital camera I've used. If you can afford a Canon DSLR then obviously that will probably be better but bang for buck you cannot knock the Fufi.
Having said that, the S9600 is essentially a one-stop photographic solution (camera body, massive zoom lens) which you would be hard pressed to beat for less than £500 if you were to buy a DSLR. You even get a rather nice flower hood to prevent sun glare spoiling your pics!
Only downside is the fact it eats batteries (get some decent 2700mah rechargables and they will last a lot longer)
I've taken some great pictures and I'm sure I will take lots more with this nice bit of kit.
Advantages: near DSLR quality, high resolution Disadvantages: hungry on batteries, no dedicated external flash unit available
This is a gorgeous camera. When I worked as a professional photographer, I always used Fuji film for my work. It was always colourful and reliable and so when I decided to get back into photography seriously after a break of almost 20 years, I looked at the specifications and (deciding I didn't at that time want the hassle of different lenses) decided on the Fuji S7000. Six months later and I upgraded to the S9600 as it had a better lens and better ... ...the way you can move the viewing screen. This allows you to get really low or hold the camera above your head (great for concerts) and still see the image you are shooting.
The lens control is great and the Fuji lenses perform quickly and quietly. You have the choice of motorised zoom or manual and there si a comprehensive range of modes available. The viewfinder display seems small as it is a viewer rather than mirror (as in traditional SLR's) ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Fujifilm FinePix S9600
Advantages: Picture quality, manual features, movies, tilting screen, robust feeling, fantastic zoom and picture size Disadvantages: Size and weight can be a hindrance for some people, although I actually like this.
The Fujifilm s9600 is a phenomenal camera. I bought it a couple of months ago from Amazon and have not had a single problem (apart from delayed delivery). The item itself is not an SLR, but the quality of pictures it produces is right up there with the semi-pros in my opinion. I am only a photography enthusiast, so like to fiddle with options and manual controls when I can, but often flip it to Auto mode when a quick photo is needed.
The s9600 has ... ...camera - absolutely perfect if you want outstanding picture quality without the expense of additional lenses. When deciding what to buy, I was debating for quite a while whether I should go for the Canon 400D or this. In the end I came down on the Fuji due to its amazing zoom capacity (10.7x optical) and macro all in one. I just couldn't justify the cost of the Canon and all the other equipment I would need to have this range of focus.
Pretty much ...

Advantages: Detail in photos, battery life good, colours very strong, fast to use Disadvantages: Fairly small LCD screen, big files at high MP,
I bought this camera for £220 from e-bay and it was definitely worth the money. I have owned a compact digital camera for a long time, but I really missed the flexibility of my old Pentax ME Super SLR. I especially missed the ability to use macro, as with that everything around you can become a subject.
Straight out of the box I could use this camera on point and shoot mode. I have owned Fuji compact cameras before, so this was too my advantage. ... ...when you delve into the manual and the other settings it opens up a whole new world. It has made me open up all my old photography books and start learning about this art again. It offers pretty much all the functions an SLR would without having to lug all those lenses around with you. And at full zoom mode, anything other than really long distance wildlife photography is well within your reach.
I have taken some really fantastic photos with this ...

Advantages: Big, balanced, fast, manual zoom, well made and generally worth more Disadvantages: small digital zoom and fiddly hotshoe flash setting, very minor
OK so the good news is this huge spec, very high quality awesome beastie of a camera is under £200, the bad news is its a little large!!! LOL. I can't see any problems with this camera at all, auto mode takes very good shots, it has all the usual bells and whistles, Burst mode, bracketing, sepia etc etc. All of the usual gubbins you'd expect on a top line semi pro camera. Add into that the magnificent Fujinon lens with manual zoom (which is so very ... ...quick start up times fast focus generally brilliant. I use a card reader to get the photos off the camera. The noise that has been reported certainly doesn't affect my camera, even on the highest ISO settings the noise isn't over what I'd expect. I love this camera, the quality of build and output is spot on. While I am sure that you can get better cameras, with the outlay for the body and lens I reckon you would be looking at over £600 to better ...

Manufacturer's product description
The camera's 10.7x (28-300mm 35mm equivalent) zoom lens incorporates aspherical elements that result in a sharper image. The aspherical elements in the lens ensure that the path of light is as precise as possible, which in turn minimises distortion and aberrations. The lens is easily controlled via a manual zoom ring to give pinpoint accuracy when composing images. Furthermore, its fixed housing ensures that users do not have to contend with specks of dust or dirt collecting on the sensor. This can compromise image quality and is a drawback often associated with conventional digital SLRs.
