Fuji S9500

Overall ok for only HK$4,200.  The most important is the price.  I have DC, SLR, 120 camera, but wanna to try prosumer.  So buy this one to try.  Currenlty, in the market, most likely are Fuji, Panasonic, KM and Kodak.  

I buy Fuji in final.  Kodak, no need to think, not easy to focus, and the not user friendly to hold the camera.  KM A200, the worst case is now no support from KM la.  Panasonic, I like it.  However, the most important is the noise and the price 5k for hong product.  Of course, water is only 3.9k, but i dont like water r.  

Fiji, Of course, hong product.  It's a prosumer that can't compare w/ DSLR.  However, the performance of prosumer is good, inlcuding:
- well control of noise (can go to ISO1600);
- use AA batteries;
- 28-300mm lens (good tele and wide la);
- good image quality;
- super macro (can up to 1cm)

Of course, some disadv are:
- high purple side for large contrast;
- no signal for low batteries
- not easy to auto focus as if using marco or super marco;
- not user friendly of the menu

Overall performance: 9 out of 10
