Being a Fuji fan who had his camera break down early in the new year I decided to upgrade to the S9600. It's a fine bit of kit but I am still trying to work out what half the buttons do! It is also a big brute, especially when you have been used to something you can stick in your pocket.
A friend of mine has just bought a Fuji S6500....nearly the same camera but a lot cheaper and without all the technology.
