The Fujifilm FinePix S9100 [S9600
outside North America] replaces the FinePix S9000
with the new 6th Generation SuperCCD HR image
sensor with low noise at high ISO capabilities.
It has a new 28-300mm (35mm equivalent) 10.7x
wide-angle optical zoom with manual twist-barrel
zoom control that should delight many serious
photographers desiring a wide-angle coverage without
sacrificing a worthy telephoto coverage.
Improvements according to Fuji has to do with
improved image quality [sharpness and resolution],
faster response [AF 40% quicker, 0.8 sec. startup
time, 0.01 sec. shutter-lag] and intelligent flash.
A new i-Flash Intelligent Flash works in tandem
with high sensitivity settings to preserve natural
skin tones. If you are not sure whether to use
flash in a particular situation, an original Dual
Shot Mode will take 2 pictures, one with flash
and the other without.
The Fujifilm S9100 has 9.0 megapixels resolution
with a F2.8 to F11 aperture range, and shutter
speed ranges from 30 sec. to a blazing fast 1/4,000
sec. in Manual mode, plus Bulb. It has the same
high resolution EVF (electronic viewfinder) at
235,000 pixels. The tiltable LCD monitor is now
2.0-in. and permits flexible shooting at awkward
high or low angles. It keeps the dual media slots
for xD-Picture Card as well as CF/IBM MicroDrive.
Other professional options include a manual focus
/ zooming adjustment lens ring, a hot shoe mount,
and the full range of exposure flexibility.
It continues to support CCD-RAW and JPEG file
formats and connects to a computer via USB 2.0
High Speed. Another nod toward popular request
is the use of 4 AA alkaline batteries as its power
source. A live histogram can be displayed during
Recording mode.
The Fujifilm FinePix S9100 updates the
popular S9000 with expanded low-light capability.
