Fujifilm Finepix S9600 Review

There are plenty of plus points when it comes to picture quality with the Finepix S9600 and not too many negatives.

Outdoors the camera has few problems. Looking at the first scenic shot I like the colours. They are vivid and retain a natural look. This makes the photos look like a fair reflection of the scene on the day the photo was taken.

The large lens manages to focus sharply. The brickwork on the building in the middle of the first photo is sharp and the levels of sharpness are maintained as you move out towards the edges of the shot.

It is in the second outdoor shot where the camera really comes into its own. This is the shot where many digital camera struggle to focus, but the Finepix S9600 is a long way above average and outperforms just about every other camera I have tested. This coupled with the fact the camera has a wide angle lens suggests that this camera is well worth considering if you have an interest in landscape photography.

With the zoom fully extended sharpness is also good. Taking the three shots into account this camera probably offers greater adaptability when it comes to focusing then more or less any other compact digital camera.
