Best Value for SLR style
( - 5/15/06)After months of comparing Digital SLR cameras it
came down to the Minolta and the Fuji. I bought
the Fuji S9000 for it's advanced night shot feature along with still being able to line up a shot using the LCD. In fact the LCD screen articulates so you can shoot holding the camera over your head and still able to frame up the shot. Great for news hounds. The dual memory card feature keeps you shooting. I added a 4 GB CF Microdrive and a 1 GB XD card. Shoot in RAW format eats memory. I added two sets of rechargeable batteries and that gives me 600 shots with no problems. Able to charge on the fly keeps me shooting all day, while eveyone else is downloading and looking for batteries.
I find the zoom is smooth but the Auto Focus is sometimes slugish. Using the one focus option and focusing off axis takes care of the problem. Once you get used to point on near feild for focus and then realigning the shot it comes second nature. The flash is weak for long distance over 10 meters. I added a remote bounce flash for nice flash fill.
Overall I am totally in love with this camera. I never touch my 35mm SLR cameras anymore.
