FUJIFILM FinePix S9100 Digital Camera

This camera is definitely a "must have" if your desire is to bridge the gap between a "point and shooter" and a DSLR. This camera gives you the best of both worlds, provided you don't need a camera capable of a zoom range above 300mm (35mm equivalent)or need multiple lenses for speciality photography. It's fixed lens range of 28mm to 300mm should provide enough range to capture nearly every photograph you may desire. The manual zoom lens is incredibly fast and accurate; much more accurate than a motorized zoom lens on most other consumer-style digital cameras. The camera is very fast; DSLR-fast in fact during start-up and single-mode photography. Shutter-lag, which affects the performance of most consumer-style digital cameras is virtually undetectable. This camera has the look, feel and many performance features of the more expensive DSLR's and one really nice feature the DSLR'S do not have...high quality video capabilities, equal to a digital video camera! A real "thumbs-up winner"! If you're looking for one camera that can virtually do it all, this ones for you.
