repulsive image quality
( - 2/15/06)after owning the olympus c8080 (8 megapixels) I couldn't believe the low image quality of the fuji 9000,looks like 4 megapixels compared to the c8080,but I kept it anyway because everything else in the camera is very good,I will just not use it in applications that needs high image quality,for that I will use my olympus evolt 300 and the c8080
the fuji s9000 will be my parties camera ,snapshots ,traveling ,videos or unimportant photos
I read the manual a lot and I hope I'm missing something about how to get high quality
I'm a professional ,work almost exclusively in manual settings and I wouldn't understand why a camera should be difficult to achieve high quality from the start,
what I liked about it is that I can shoot a full 4 gigabytes of video at once that I couldn't with the c8080...(new generation of digitals)
a pleasant surprise I found on the s9000 is the autofocus on request button when is set on manual focus,so useful !!!!! because I shoot many events and parties indoor,autofocus is out of the question,I need immediate pictures,,I set it on manual around 2 1/2 meters all evening and I occasionally reset it with that button.99 % of the pics are in focus and never had to think about focusing,and nobody had to wait,
as soon as I installed the fuji software I uninstalled it because it completely takes over any and all photo downloadind duties of the computer,it shuts off all windows downloading features,the fuji software is more complicated (rubbery somebody says)difficult to use and understand,and also limited compared to windows
the fuji photos cannot be rotated in the downloading process,,that's terrible and time consuming later on,,and when you rotate them later they have a small reduction in quality,that's like third world digital..
when I'm downloading my olympus photos I can rotate them all at once with one button,and if I rotate them later they stay full quality
it was a smart marketing gimmick for them to make it 9 megapixels,they knew that a lot people were going to buy it for the high megs,too bad they couldn't create the corresponding image quality for 9 megs. theirs is fuzzy details,rough grains,low sharpness etc...
I would not raccomend it to anybody regarding image quality,,any olympus 5 megapixels and up ,even the cheap point and shoot ,is better image quality than the fuji s9000
