Fujifilm FinePix S9100

9 Megapixels   10.71X zoom   2 inch LCD

At the top of Fujifilm's line of abuser latest digital cameras sits the FinePix S9100, a 9-megapixel superzoom by a special 10.7X optical,  most respectively 28mm-to-300mm (35mm equivalent) f/2.8-to-f/4.9 zoom lens, and more features than you preserve shake an ultracompact at. But even by each those feature, it is missing a most significant one: image stabilization. Fuji talks huge concerning its different Picture Stabilization shooting mode, useful as it keep on your shutter speed extremely fast and prevents blur. However it's absolutely no substitute pro optical or mechanical image stabilization, which canister is found in many other superzooms.

Afterward there's the issue of the S9100's lens. Numerous makers have moved up to 12X-optical zoom lenses in their superzooms, although they shy away from saying that those lenses begin at an equivalent of 35mm. This Fuji begins at an equivalent of 28mm, which provides you further leeway while shooting group portraits and should appear in handy more often than the 420mm telephoto end of almost 12X lenses. Furthermore since this digital camera has a 9-megapixel sensor, you should have plenty of more pixels to crop away if you feel like to mimic the close-up view of a longer lens, unless you plan to make prints greatly larger than 11x17 inches.

Controlling the zoom is extremely easy; thanks to the large zoom ring on the lens barrel. Precise zooming is much simple through a ring than trying to not anything in through the rocker switches on many non-SLRs. Behind the zoom ring is any more ring pro manual focus. We found manual focus a small frustrating, although, since you have to hold down a button on the digital camera back to obtain a magnified piece of the beautiful image. Since it's almost impossible to obtain really accurate focus without it, it seems unusual that Fuji didn't make this automatic. Fuji did comprise a nifty indicator, which tells you which way to turn the ring to achieve focus and as well turns yellow while it thinks you're properly focused. Fuji puts the focus controls and overall and information buttons on the left side of the digital camera body, which is most useful, as your left hand should before now be in the vicinity to operate the zoom ring.

Each other controls are on the right-hand surface of the digital camera, split fairly evenly amongst the top and back of the body. All the main menus buttons are sited extremely logically according to function--exposure compensation discover its home next to the shutter release, pro example--and are within reach of either your write thumb or forefinger. Since usual, Fuji divides its  main menus in two parts: one, accessed by the F button, gives access to ISO, special resolution, and original color settings, the further, accessed through the normal menu button gives access to all other settings. By splitting them, Fuji canister keep the more often adjusted settings up top where you require them in all of the main menus. We'd alike to see white balance make its way into the F-button menu, but that's an extremely small gripe.
