One negative point is that there is a small amount of purple fringing showing when the zoom lens is fully extended. This is where a small purple line is added to the edges of light coloured object where they are caught by the sun.My earlier observations relating to colour are supported by my colour test. This confirms that the colours have plenty of depth and are well balanced.
The outdoor portrait shot could be a touch brighter. Aside from the brightness issue skin tones look natural and focusing is sharp once again. The Finepix S9600 also handles the contrast offered by the light coloured shirt very well.
Moving into lower light situations shows that the Finepix S9600 can cope even when conditions are not ideal. In both of my shots the camera is able to maintain sharpness and the photos are bright as well. No red eye reduction shows. With some distance between the lens and flash unit red eye reduction should be kept under control most of the time.
The macro shot is o.k. without being anything exceptional. If I was serious about macro photography this would not be the camera I would go for, but if you are looking to take the occasional close up shot then the Finepix S9600 should be good enough.
Pushing up ISO levels does lead to a reduction is picture quality. This is quite normal and Fuji cameras tend to cope better with higher ISO than most brands do. Pushed up to the maximum of ISO 1600 the deterioration is much more pronounced.
