Fujifilm FinePix S9000, 9.0 Megapixel, 10.7x Optical/2x Digital Zoom, Digital Camera

Advanced digital photographers will totally appreciate the FinePix S9000 digital camera - it boasts an astounding 9.0 effective Megapixel resolution that capture up to 3,488 x 2,616 recorded pixels. Fuji also incorporated its groundbreaking Real Photo Technology into the FinePix S9000 where the nine Megapixel, 5th Generation Super CCD HR sensor, is matched with a super-sharp Fujinon lens and the acclaimed RP Processor technology.

A hallmark of Fujifilm's Real Photo Technology is its ability to reduce the amount of graininess or "noise" in digital pictures. This noise is often apparent in high-resolution photos, particularly those shot at high ISO-equivalent sensitivities. Other benefits of Real Photo Technology include speed of operation (the FinePix S9000 has a high-speed start-up time of only 0.8 second with shutter lag down to 1/100 second) and longer battery life.

In addition, the FinePix S9000 is equipped with a bevy of features that will appeal to the photo hobbyist. One of those features is a world-class Fujinon 10.7x wide-angle optical zoom lens that is the equivalent of having a 28-300mm zoom on a 35mm camera. This zoom range is ideal for a wide variety of shooting situations and thus makes the purchase of additional lenses unnecessary.

There is a mode dial with multiple settings, including Anti-Blur that automatically adjust the camera's ISO settings to combat camera shake and blur and Natural Light for more natural looking photos, particularly in low light, a manual zoom that along with the auto exposure and auto focus functions, are operational during full frame (VGA-quality; 30 fps) movie capture, a Super Macro Mode for taking pictures as close as 0.4-inches, and a Hot shoe & Syncro terminal for external flash. The camera also has the ability to shoot in a RAW file format to obtain maximum image quality while still maint6aning a relatively small file size.
