Fujifilm FinePix S9500 Overview
Unlike many digital cameras, you won't want to separate this camera from its lens. Covering the crucial 28-300mm* range, and crafted from the highest standard Fujinon optics, this is a built-in lens that has been engineered to work perfectly with the camera's sensor technology. And the sensor technology is just as advanced – a nine million effective pixel Super CCD and Real Photo Processor combination that not only delivers on detail, but also the major image quality milestones: colour, low noise, dynamic range and sensitivity.
- Integrated Design allows you to do many things that you can't with a digital SLR. For instance, using the LCD to compose your image, rather than having to lift the camera to cover your eye.
- Super CCD technology has long been associated with class-leading performance in top-end digital cameras. Unlike generic image sensors, this system is developed and manufactured entirely in-house, and is performance only available from Fujifilm.
- Superior Fujinon 28 - 300 mm Lens
- Tilting 1.8" LCD monitor
- Fast Response, there is no agonising wait as a motor extends the lens (it is already in position)

Fujifilm FinePix S9500 Review
by: dcresource.com
The Fuji FinePix S9000 ($699) is a full-featured, high resolution ultra zoom 9 Megapixel camera. The S9000 (also known as the S9500) uses Fuji's 5th generation SuperCCD sensor, with the most noticeable change since the previous generation sensor being the lack of an interpolated mode. The sensor is nine Megapixel and so are the resulting images. (For the technically included, the sensor still does interpolate to a higher resolution before downsizing to your selected size.)
The S9000 uses Fuji's Real Photo Technology which allows for lower noise at high ISOs than comparable cameras, fast performance, and good battery life. Fuji says that the camera's good high ISO performance allows the S9000 to take sharp pictures without the need for image stabilization (we'll see how well it performs in a bit).
The other big feature on the S9000 is its 10.7X zoom lens. While most ultra zoom lenses are 38 - 380 mm (or similar), the S9000's lens starts at 28 mm for some good wide-angle action.
There's much more to talk about, so let's just move into the review now.
What's in the Box?
The FinePix S9000 has an average bundle. Inside the box, you'll find:
- The 9.0 effective Megapixel FinePix S9000 camera
- 16MB xD Picture Card
- Four AA alkaline batteries
- Lens cap w/retaining strap
- Lens hood
- Shoulder strap
- A/V cable
- USB cable
- CD-ROM featuring FinePix CX software
- 143 page camera manual (printed)
The S9000 comes with a tiny 16MB xD Picture Card, which holds just three photos at the highest quality setting. That makes a larger memory card a requirement, and I'd suggest 512MB or even 1GB as good starter sizes. One of the nice features of the S9000 is its dual memory card slots, support both xD and CompactFlash cards. The CF slot supports Type II cards, including the Microdrive. Since CompactFlash cards are cheaper and generally faster than xD cards, I'd recommend sticking with those. The S9000 takes advantage of high speed CompactFlash cards, and probably the "M-type" fast xD cards as well.
