 Too much noise. June 30, 2008
At the time I purchased, the reviews I saw were over-complimentary, perhaps the earlier cameras took better pictures, the recent batch are nowhere near crisp enough to warrant such a huge cumbersome camera. Sent mine back to be checked and it was returned with advice about unsharp mask software enhancement. Poor show Fuji, I am seriously thinking about selling this and looking for a different model. Ironically, the reviews I saw said macro photography was not its strong point, well, of course that was the first thing I checked and to me it seems to be its strongest point, and as I was satisfied with that, trusted that the rest would be fine, when I did test and was disappointed, the free return period had ended.
This camera has some very nice features, but at the end of the day, you want crispness. The camera has a tendency to make dark pictures unless the setting is set to maximum white balance, and as well as noise, there are a lot of black speck pixels in non flash shots as if the picture was created just before absolute completion of the picture, perhaps that is how they achieved the fast results on the response times comparison charts. This camera is lacking in the fundamental area, for anyone with 20-20 vision.
 Amazing Fuji Product June 30, 2008
I bought this camera from Amazon, about three weeks ago and currently making experiments with Auto and Manual settings of this camera. I was a big fan of Nikon before buying this camera. But I tried my friend's Fuji S5600 then Fuji A920 and found that in the price offered by Fuji, it is really amazing.
Best thing in S9600 is its contrast, super-macro zoom (amazing), fast-shooting mode (I tried for birds etc and works pefectly), intelligent flash, flexible lcd (really works while taking macro shot from different angle), manual focus, DSLR style and both XD + CF support. One thing Which i must mention is the battery timings of this camera. It is really briliant and you not need some properitry batteries, just buy Nimh rechargable and have fun. I took about 150 pics in daylight with Energizer Alakline provided with camera.
I dont know why Fuji has burried Raw Image mode in menus and why they dont provide rechargable batteries + charger with this camera. Little bit slow response while taking Raw Image, may be due to small memory buffer in camera.
I am using it with Sandisk Extreme III 2GB card which is enough for about 800+ 9MP Normal photos.

I am a novice photographer and bought this camera after reading the reviews about it on this site. I am more than pleased with it. It takes much better photos than my compact digital camera and it is easy to use.
I followed the advice of one of the reviewers and also bought the following items:
* Lowepro Topload Zoom Mini Case For SLR & Short Zoom - Black (a perfect fit for the camera and an excellent quality bag)
* Canon F58UV UV 58mm Filter(as protection for the lense as it is fixed and not replaceable)
* Sanyo Eneloop AA 8 Pack Batteries 2000mAh
* SANDISK ULTRA II CF 4GB CARD
The only comment I would make is that the Sandisk card came from a seller in Guernsey and took about 10 days to arrive - this meant that I could not use the camera which had arrived promptly in two days.
This camera is excellent value for money and I would recommend it to anyone - especially those like myself who want to be able to take better quality photos at a reasonable price.
 Great Camera but not 5 star May 26, 2008

I brought this camera as my second semi-pro if you like camera. I needed a new camera for taking snaps in Africa and hopefully Iraq that gave me help but also freedom. This camera provides all the necessary functions for a young and aspiring camera enthusiast who wants to get a grip of a more basic camera, however at the same time enables you to have freedom with your picture that you could get with a slightly more expensive camera, changing shutter speed etc. I am a keen photographer and after seeing this camera published in an old copy of the national geographic decided to explore its capabilities. As I have said maybe not a buy for the professional, but definitely in the realm of semi-pro, and at great value for money. The only reason I didn't give this camera 5 stars is because of its battery life. When flicking from setting to setting or changing functions a lot as one does it seems that the batteries last for no more than 5 hours or there abouts. I don't know why Fuji film didn't decide to put a lithium Ion battery in it, but I am sure they have their reasons. I am now looking into a rechargeable option of buying rechargeable batteries and charger for the camera, and if you were to buy this camera (and it is great) I would recommend you look into a different source of power than plain old AA batteries.
 Great camera. May 20, 2008

Fantastic camera. However be prepared to do a lot of research into using all the manual settings, as it is much more difficult than you think. If you intend to do most of your photography using automatic settings, them I would recommend going for a smaller camera as this one is seriously quite big! I meant to put 4 stars but I clicked the wrong one and cannot seem to edit it now!
