Fujifilm FinePix S9200 16 MP Digital Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD (Black)

This camera is a MUST HAVE. Im not a photographer or any kind, simply wanted something to take with me to events in NYC/Vacation/Special occasions, etc. Purchased this camera because im going to Europe with some friends in June to Amsterdam and to attend Defqon.1 Weekend Festival. Being as attending this festival is one of my biggest dreams, and traveling from the US to Europe is no cheap feat, this will be a once in a lifetime thing. The only camera i've ever owned before this was some simply Nikon point-and-shoot with ZERO optical zoom and only digital zoom. Im still waiting on my 64GB SDXC card to come in the mail from PNY. Of the pictures I did take using the internal memory, I was absolutely blown away. I've never had a device that can take pictures like this ever, they're stunning. The amount of features this camera packs for $200 is staggering as well. As someone who knows very little about photography, i've been messing with this camera for hours the past couple days learning how to use the features correctly and fully. If you're getting this to simply use JUST the Auto mode and shoot pictures, you'd be happy, but do yourself a favor and take the time to learn what this camera can truly do. Take FULL advantage of the long list of awesome features this camera has, and im sure you'll be catching moments you never thought you could before. If you're looking for something to take great photos of your family, events, etc without breaking the bank and without getting super, super technical, buy this. You won't regret it. If you're a professional photographer and are looking for something modular or with a list of features as long as the bible, you're looking at the wrong camera. While you can definitely take professional looking photos with this, the features list is no where near what a DSLR could do. The pictures I uploaded are taken WITH this camera. Don't know if Amazon's site nerfs the quality upon upload, but these are pictures that I took with it. Im am very happy with this camera, definitely an awesome buy i'd do again no problem if I had to.

I wanted a digital camera with a viewfinder. I have a small Panasonic Lumix digital camera, but every time I take pictures in the sun, all I can see in the LCD display is a reflection of my face. I saw this Fujifilm FinePix S9200 in Sam's Club, and liked the way it looked and felt. When I got home, I checked it out on Amazon, as well as a few other cameras. I liked the price and the features. And even though there were no reviews for it, I took a chance and bought it. It was very easy to set up, especially for someone who doesn't know a lot about cameras. I like being able to use the viewfinder, and it's very easy to switch between the viewfinder and the 3" LCD. I like that there are 2 places where you can adjust for telephoto zoom or wide angle pictures. It's very easy to review the pictures you've taken and to delete the ones you don't want. And I'm very happy with the picture quality. For an amateur, it was a good buy.

This seems to be a lot of camera for the money. I'm impressed with the many "smart camera" things it can do and especially with the sharpness of the loooong zoom. It is a bit bulky and heavy, but I think that makes the camera easier to hold the camera steady for the long shots. My first shots were of the King of Norway speaking at my granddaughter's graduation in a rather dark arena in Tacoma. I've done close-ups of tree flowers, and I look forward to more pictures of birds. Besides the long zoom I can use in birding, I chose the Fujifilm FinePix S9200 over the newer models because it does not have the electronic actions that might affect my pacemaker, and it does not take the odd size and shape of batteries that are hard to find when I'm traveling. So far, so good. I'm pleased.

Just returned from 3 weeks in Greece and used this camera, although it was fairly new to me. I purchased it from Amazon in June for $169. I shot mostly in apeture priority at ISO 200 but switched to auto mode after noticing that it was washing out the blue sky, although, to be fair, the horizon was frequently hazy, during the day. Most of the dusk and dawn pictures came out very nicely. A few pictures just flat out did not come out in low light situations, either washed out with the flash or some strange vignetting. In low light situations, using the LCD live view screen was preferable to composing and focussing with the view finder. It has a tremendous zoom, but a tripod would be necessary when it is zoomed to the outer range, beyond 800 mm. Another reason for the purchase was that it has a viewfinder as well as the LCD live view screen. However, hand held using the viewfinder worked out fine to about the 800 mm zoom length. I admit that part of the problem may be that I did not spend enough time with it before I left on my trip. However, bringing this camera was preferable to hauling around my DSLR with all the ancillary equipment. In low light situations there can also be a significant time lag between when the shutter is depressed and the picture is written to the memory card. Battery life is superb. At under $200, I think that the camera is reasonably priced. Now that it is priced close to $300 I would consider another camera that offers at least a remote shutter release and a threaded lens barrel that will accept a haze filter to protect the lens.

Really loved this camera.. The functions and clarity are awesome. On the top of it, the advanced functionality in this camera is amazing. We can capture different colors with advanced mode, different type of pictures and many more. I spent some time in finding all these feature and the camera guide will let you do this task easily. At first instance you will not like this camera. But, if you start reading the Manual and one you get versed with the features... You are ready to have a nice shooting experience. Oh BTW it is for just $200 so a great deal. I have not tried the video yet, but will surely try that soon and will come back with my experience on that. One thing to be noted- Keep another set of fully charged AA size batteries with you always. coz you never know you exceed the limit of shots per battery set and then feel bad of not being able to capture more pics :)

I just bought this and have only begun to play around with it but so far I think it rocks. There are so many options available which is what I wanted because I want to go back and do what I did with my 35mm SLR when I would take it off of Automatic. I want to be comfortable with using the manual settings as well as the auto settings for versatility. I am hoping I get as good or better video and sound quality out of this camera as I do with my Droid Mini cell phone because it really has surprised me with what it is capable of. I have another small digital camera that takes pretty good video but the audio is easily distorted and that has always been a drawback but that camera was given to me so I cant complain. That camera design though is what drew me to purchasing this one because of the style and the hand grip. This camera is bigger and weighs more and I like that feel as well as the soft grip on the lens. This one feels more like my 35mm SLR did which will help with holding it nice and steady. Again I have been reading a lot about what this camera will do from the manual and I read the reviews on it as well as some others and I am convinced I bought the right one for me. I have purchased good quality rechargeable batteries as well as the AC adapter and a smart charger to be used with it so now I am ready to put it through the paces. The menus are not difficult to follow and once I get used to where everything is I think it will be a very useful and versatile camera. Just like anything else that is new or different it will take a little practice and getting used to just like when going from my Blackberry to my Droid Mini. LOL One of the other things I did before buying this camera was to go on line and get the PDF version of the manual and look through it to see if it would be too complicated. Also there are some great YouTube videos on it that go into a fair amount of the features and that helped with my decision as well. Hope this helps you in some way.

Worst camera ever!!! They keep sending cameras that are not sell worthy. They jump to different settings as you try to take photos and jump around when you try to set the date and time. TERRIBLE CRAFTMANSHIP FUJI !!!

Had it a few weeks now and taken a couple hundred images and a few movies and it has exceeded my expectations. The 1080 movies are a bit blocky. Kick the resolution back a bit and it plays very nicely. Fantastic zoom but almost impossible to use without some kind of support. The image stabilization can't quite cope at full zoom offhand. The Panorama mode definitely saves Photoshop time stitching images together. Macro is very good. The wide angle lens lets you get quite a lot in, in one shot. And I am amazed at the quality of the images taken inside w/o a flash. Am using 32gb high speed cards and you really have to work to even begin to fill one. Also love the fact it can use off the shelf high capacity rechargeable AA batteries. No proprietary, can't be found, batteries here.

Has a lot of features, but can't shoot in RAW. Also, even at the lowest ISO the pictures still came out with too much noise. I was trying to use it for some simple product photos but had to return it.

星がほぼ５個だったので期待したのですが、首に掛けるベルトやレンズキャップの紐もなく、ガッカリでした。 期待が大きすぎたのでしょうか？

前にS9800の新品を購入しましたが初期不具合、無償交換対応も保証期間を過ぎてからごみ付着、修理には１５０００円近く掛かりました。設定を行うのに不具合がありそれも一緒に見てもらいましたが異常なしも、不具合が改善されていませんでした。２０２４年３月、北海道の旅の途中、電源を切るもレンズが引っ込まないトラブル、故障と言うより壊れたと言う感じ。急遽、札幌でコダックの５倍ズームのデジカメを購入。帰宅後は先に買ったフジのS２５００を使っていましたがズームが物足りない。コダックのカメラには黒点が発生。幾らも使っていませんが保証期間切れ。中古が１万円前後なら修理するより安いと言う事で今回中古を買う事にしました。中古の良いと非常に良い、選ぶのに迷いが有りました。カメラはフジのS9800 、良いとS９２００非常に良いとS９２００の良いの選択肢。一番欲しかったのはS９８００。でも一番不安を感じました。自分が買って不具合を体験しているので同様の事が起きないか。購入者の評価も今一。S９２００は機能は同様で非常に良いも１年早く出ています。値段は同じくらい。もう一つS９２００は良い。金額は２０００円以上安い。迷った末安い方のS9200を購入しました。物が到着、早速確認、日時設定は無事完了。未だ撮影はしていませんが初期段階は不具合は見つかっていません。 1月12日、撮影しました。写真は問題なく撮影出来ましたが問題の有る部分が有りました。電池の入れ替え、SDカードの出し入れで蓋を開けると、日時設定がクリアになってしまいます。撮影に問題無いも、そこが面倒な所です。
