Thanks, meanstreak. That's all great info. The return policy is also something to think about. Where I live, 99% of the time if I want a good deal on anything, it means buying on-line. I can find some great prices, but it's not like returning something to Wal-Mart if I don't like it. You wanna hear the real kicker? There is currently a $100 rebate on the Fuji S9000. But it's only good for another 3 days, and I'm not ready to buy yet.:angry:

What do you think will be the advantage of the S6000? The S9000 already has a 10.7X zoom. After checking out the Fuji website, it looks like the 6000 is lower res too. Why do you feel that this camera would be worth waiting for?

If you are interested in the Fujis, do a side by side comparison since the S6000 does have some features the S9000 doesn't and vice versa. The S6000 is less resolution, but might actually be better in low light since less pixels in the same size sensor means larger pixels. Larger pixels capture more light and improve the noise situation. That is probably why theS6000 allows you to go up3200 ISO. The S6000 technicallyhas a larger sensor, but it is not much larger. Looks like a tough choice between the two. I imagine most first time buyers will jump on the 9000 because they feel more megapixels means better pictures. |

ok, herewe go again with the same question that's been
axed 1000x. My decision was made to go with the FZ30 because of the longer lens, bigger LCD which rotates, use of SD cards as I already have them and see no need for xD slot as _everyone_ is getting CF anyway. And the FZ30 is $90 cheaper. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 - $500 1/1.8" Type CCD = 0.55 8.3mp, SD card 35 - 420mm [12x] (+extended optical zoom) tilt LCD Self Timer Delay 10 sec, 2 sec Macro mode [0.16 feet (5cm) from your subject (at the maximum wide-angle setting). Lithium-ion battery pack FZ50 $650 10.1mp Tele-Conversion Lenses for the DMC-FZ30 DMW-LT55: 1.7 x 420mm = 714mm $200 TCON-17: 1.7 $100 Fuji S9000 - $589 9mp 1/1.6" Type CCD = 0.625 ISO from 80 to 1600 28 - 300mm xD & CF 4 AA-size batteries Yes, the S9000 has a bigger sensor(but not by much); A wider lens(butit aint14mm); high ISO which no one uses; thus the winner is the FZ30. |

by increasing exposure compensation, or shooting at 1/10,
or f1. I _do not_ recommend using ISO1600 with small sensors; only on DSLRs (even entry level such as Nikon D50 or Canon XT) could you get low noise above ISO400. In any case, if you feel that because of the higher ISOthe S9000 is a better choice, then you arewrong. |
