 Fujifilm FinePix S9600 review with test photos : Since some time, Fujifilm has two Megazoom cameras in its program. One, the FinePix S6500fd, has been produced to target the average consumer. The other, the Fujifilm FinePix S9600, has been intended for the more serious photographer and offers, for that reason, other possibilities than the FinePix S6500fd. The Fujifilm S9600 succeeds the FinePix S9500. There aren't many changes in regards to the previous model. The image quality has been improved, the Fujifilm FinePix S9600 Megazoom camera is equipped with a larger LCD monitor and an auto focus for faster focus under low light circumstances and there are improvements in the flash. The number of Megapixels remains the same.

 Fujifilm Real Photo Processor II
The improved image quality is mainly due to the new processor. The Fujifilm FinePix S9600 is equipped with the Real Photo Processor II. Together with the Fujinon lens and the Super CCD HR V sensor, it forms the Real Photo Technology, as Fujifilm calls the trinity. The lens has been calculated in a way that the light falls on the image sensor perfectly. Fujifilm can do this, because it develops its own lenses. The light then falls on the sensor, which has a deviant pixel form. The Real Photo Processor, the heart of the Real Photo Technology, processes the final image. The image processor knows two cycles to reduce noise, as a result of which noise is eliminated at high sensitivities. In the processor the image is analyzed and, depending on the subject, the colour reproduction is determined.
Rotating LCD monitor
To make it possible to shoot under difficult angles, the Fujifilm FinePix S9600 digital camera has been equipped with a rotating LCD monitor. That monitor has a dimension of 2-inch diagonally, which is pretty decent for a rotating monitor. Not only the physical dimension of the screen has increased, the resolution has also improved. The monitor now has 230,000 pixels, which expresses itself in a fine sharp reproduction.
Fujifilm S9600 intelligent flash system
Another important improvement can be found internally. Digital compact cameras often have problems with the focus in low light circumstances. Fujifilm has devised new algorithms as a result of which the speed, in regards to the predecessor, should have become no less than 40% faster. Also new is the intelligent flash system (called i-Flash), which has been built in the Fujifilm FinePix S9600. The FinePix S6500fd also has such a system and it ensures very balanced flash photography. How and if Fujifilm's flagship Megazoom camera has pleased us, is to be read in the following Fujifilm FinePix S9600 digital camera review.
