The Fujifilm Finepix S9600 is an upgrade of the S9500 model that was first introduced back in 2005, a long time ago in the ever-changing world of digital cameras.
The new S9600 is still being heavily promoted as a better alternative to a digital SLR camera by Fujifilm, and it's not hard to see why by looking at the headline specifications. A 9 megapixel sensor, 28-300mm lens, RAW mode and full manual control are features in common with entry-level DSLRs that cost a lot more than the Fujifilm S9600.
The Fujifilm Finepix S9600 also has a lot of other DSLR-like features - completely manual zoom control and focusing ring on the lens, flash hotshoe, viewfinder and an ISO range of 80-1600. Fujifilm have really pulled out all the stops to make the S9600 as similar to a digital SLR as possible. But they haven't stopped there - this camera also offers features that are unique to compact digital cameras and which, the company hopes, will persuade buyers to choose the S9600.
There's a new 2 inch inch tilting LCD screen with an improved resolution of 235,000 pixels, integrated lens which avoids problems with dust getting onto the camera's sensor, and a 30fps, 640x480 movie mode. So does the Fujifilm Finepix S9600 have what it takes to really be a viable alternative to the digital SLR? Carry on reading to find out.
It’s never wise to alter a successful formula. So rather than reinvent the hugely successful S9500, the new S9600 sees the introduction instead of some carefully-chosen improvements. Improving LCD size, image sharpness and low light autofocus, the new camera acts as a definite upgrade to its predecessor.
