I agree. I looked really hard at the S95, would have been happy to spend the extra bucks to get better photos in all conditions. But the 3X zoom was a bummer for me - when I can get just about as good photos with the S8100 with a super slick 10X zoom. Unless you are really a professional photog as need that extra f2.0 lens, I would say bite the bullet and take it back, again.

Thank you very much, ALT, I really appreciate your feedback. Yesterday I ordered the Fuji S1000fd instead. For $231 the 10MP and 12X optical zoom was just unbeatable. Now I've got to find out if I can use filters on it, too. Thank you!

My apologies Serendipity; I thought you were talking about the Sony HX1 which I did buy, and you were talking about the Fuji -- the Fuji I now wish I had!!!

Get the SX100 as a refurb at a cheap price. You'll never tell the difference.

I actually have an old Fuji S5000 (one of my MANY Fuji camera's) that I got in 2003. The camera still works and I still use it (does great pics). So, I give Fuji extremely high ratings for reliability.

I like the Fuji colors but every photograph is different. Lighting is critical and what you do with it after it comes out of the camera makes a big difference. But I like for the camera to do its job. I am not familiar with the S5s??

Also check out YouTube video on Fujifilm S9400w Top Features by FujiGuys. They explain it better.

How do you do, Mr. Ryan. I call it Suzuki, the staff of a bell. Thank you for your consideration. Since this mail is using the translator, it has made a mistake in it, and although it may be an acatalepsy, please allow it. Although I am carrying out simultaneous sale of this camera also in the store in Tokyo, it is still in stock. It is a late model of XP series of FUJIFILM. In order of XP60 -&gt;XP150 -&gt;XP200, it is the most expensive and performance is also the most wonderful. Is it an answer of the question? Moreover, please do not hesitate to ask a question.

Fuji has not made an announcement for a newer model.It may be that certain web sites simply decided to discontinue selling this model.

Hi Heirloom Tomato,Thanks for sharing your experience with the Canon Powershot S90 camera with me. I haven't bought any camera yet so now it will be easier to make that decision.Thanks,Isabel

For alot of folks, it comes down to the option of shooting in RAW. P300 does not shoot RAW, S95 does. Is that worth the extra +$120 (as of 10/11) for the S95? Do you even shoot in RAW? If you even know what RAW is, you should be shooting with your dSLR right now. :)B&H; photo is selling the P300 for $239 through 10-29-11. Seems like a deal too good to pass up. Upgrading my 2+ year old Canon P&S.; Boy...technology moves quickly. I'll upgrade in another 2 years when all of these P&S; cameras shoot near dSLR quality.

Ok so this is what I'm going off of. The Cannon SX10IS is the same price as the P90 but the P90 has 24x zoom and 12.1 MP... The price differential came from somewhere. I'm putting my bets on the image processor. I personally own the SX10IS and I could not be happier. My friend who owns the Cannon Rebel XSi tries to say how his buy is much more justified. So far the only things I have found better is his white balance, optional remote trigger, and the capability to shoot in RAW. Otherwise our cameras are very similar.

No, it isn't. For similar money you can get the fabulous Fujifilm XS-1, or the Fujifilm HS30exr is cheaper but has a smaller sensor. Both have full auto modes, and both have large zooms so you c\n get close to the action. They also have image stabilisation built in. If you decide to take a tripod as well, whatever camera you take make sure image stabilisation is turned off whenever you use it, or if you take a shot with the camera resting on a surface, or even if you use a monopod. Remember hat, and you can stick to auto for all else.

Hi Isaabel,I am still loving the S90 and learn something new about it almost every day. It is infinitely adjustable if you like to tinker around (or if you know what you are doing better than I do so far... you might say "use full manual control"). The instant feedback on the very nice LCD screen is helping me learn to be a better photographer. The only thing that is hard to do is create good bokeh effects but I am trying to find internet tutorials that help with this. Also, I can probably address it to some degree in Photoshop Elements or Photoshop (when I get an extra minute!) Good luck with your decision.Heirloom Tomato Hi Isaabel,I am still loving the S90 and learn something new about it almost every day.

The Fuji S makes a great grab and go camera but if you need instant shutter response for once in a lifetime shot, you will need an SLR. I am a pro and use the s1800 for travel but all studio sittings with kids and wedding receptions are done with a Fuji S5 SLR (body only about $500, used)

I think it's time from start is about standard, I am trying to find something simular out about this camera as well. I do know the FujiFilm S8100fd is simular in price and features and has some real nice fast picture modes where it will take pictures extremely fast but at the faster settings it takes them at less MP (5MP is really fast though) and it will take full res at around 1 second each. Hope that helps.
