Hi all

Thinking of getting the Fuji s9600 but have a few questions about it, if anybody has one and feels like posting some information that'd be great

I've been looking around at various websites and can't seem to find the answers to the following questions:

Can I add filters to it or not?

Does it have an anti shake mechanism?

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated as I'm pretty much a total newb

Thanks.

Yes, it's got a standard 58mm dia screw thread IIRC.

No.

It's a cool camera (I had/have the 9500). Slow tho, but quality of shots is excellent. I think if I was going to go for a bridge camera again I'd probably go for the Sony one with the APS sized sensor (the model number escapes me atm).

Hmmm, I don't think the Sony has a big enough zoom to satisfy me to be honest, and the proprietry battery pack is a big turn off

oen thing about the 9600, that i really liked when I almost bought one last month (went for a d50 instead) the zoom mechanism is actually on the lens, so it feels much better then other bridge cameras, and same with the manual focus.

I am probably going to get one at some point as a backup to my nikon, wont be for a while though
