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.
Nonetheless, you still have the impressive zoom lens; covering
the crucial 28-300mm* range, and crafted from the highest standard
Fujinon optics, this is a built-in lens that has been engineered to
work perfectly with the camera's sensor technology. And the sensor
technology is just as advanced – a nine million effective pixel
Super CCD and Real Photo Processor combination that not only
delivers on detail, but also the major image quality milestones:
colour, low noise, dynamic range and sensitivity.

Super CCD with Real Photo Technology
This camera is about a lot more than just nine million
pixels. Super CCD technology has long been associated with
class-leading performance in top-end digital cameras. Unlike
generic image sensors, this system is developed and manufactured
entirely in-house, and is performance only available from
Fujifilm. Compared to the S9500, the S9600 sees refinements in
the area of image sharpness, delivering a bitingly crisp
rendition of reality. Furthermore, the impressive ISO range of
100-1600 means that you will get great, blur-free results in all
light, not just daylight. Because of its incredible potential in
low light conditions, the S9600's auto focus has been further
improved, enabling it to find focus more quickly in dim
conditions.
Movie Mode
Anyone who doesn't think that much of movie modes on digital
cameras has not tried this one. Not only does it offer the
top-level 30 fps VGA benchmark, but you can also use the zoom
lens during recording, which is a special enhancement of this
feature. With the massive onboard media storage, the S9600
offers extended movie potential, and is a valuable backup to the
camera's still image capability.
Hyper Utility Software HS-V2
As an added bonus, the S9600 comes packaged with a high-value
piece of software aimed at getting the absolute maximum out of
the camera's formidable imaging potential. The HS-V2 software
processes RAW files from the camera, enabling the user to
fine-tune sharpness settings, white balance and other image
parameters without worrying about 'losing' information, which is
what happens when jpegs are recorded and re-recorded again. When
you select the RAW option, the camera gives you the original 18
million pixel file that is delivered to the processor, and the
HS-V2 software enables you to get the most out of it.

For those people that are a little daunted by the SLR cameras
and want something a little more compact, whilst still having
complete manual control over the camera, the S9600 is about the best
you can get.
With a team of excellent reviews, it seems it is not just us that
think so.
