Fujifilm FinePix S9100/S9600 Review by XyzComputing

To the untrained eye this camera looks a lot like a digital SLR but a closer inspection will reveal that it actually has a fixed lens. This makes the S9000 something of an oddity in the world of digital still cameras: a manual focus, fixed lens camera that has the size and look of a DSLR, but not the price tag.

Fujifilm FinePix S9100/S9600 was Review by XyzComputing and said”In and of itself, I think the S9100 is a good camera. It is extremely easy to use and after a few minutes with the instructions almost anyone will be able to do things once reserved for camera geeks, like take multiple exposures, shoot with manual zoom/focus, or adjust exposure time in an instant with a thumb wheel. It also gives the versatility of a point-and-click with its ability to shoot movies and never need a new lens.

The S9100 does have its problems though. The design features almost no changes from the last generation and it would have been nice if some things could be addressed. Some of these include a non-locking battery latch, Fujifilm’s insistence upon XD cards when SD is the clear winner, toggling RAW is buried in the menus and cannot be quickly accessed, and slow focus in low light. The camera needs to keep changing if Fujifilm wants to keep it competitive and while it is a good deal at the current price, it would be nice to see a slight decrease just so we can avoid the tempation of going with a true DSLR.
