FujiFilm FinePix S9900W Pro Reviews

In the crowded bridge camera marketplace there's nothing that really makes the S9900W, or the Wi-Fi-less S9800, stand out. While they're capable of capturing good-looking pictures, this is very much dependent on the light being good. The zoom range is generous, but 24-1200mm is not uncommon these days, and what were once enticing extras, such as Wi-Fi, are now pretty bog-standard offerings – although the S9900W's remote shooting feature adds a touch of Wi-Fi assisted novelty. The camera is easy to use, and for day-trippers the fact that it uses AA batteries means that as long as you carry spares you won't have to worry about having access to a power source. But it would be nice to have the option of shooting in raw format, while a sensor would obviate the need to press a button to switch the electronic viewfinder on and off.

The Fujifilm FinePix S9900W is one of the cheapest ultra zoom bridge cameras available with built in Wi-Fi and EVF. This makes it apealling particularly for those people who might be on a tight budget, and if you want a cheaper version, then the S9800 is available without Wi-Fi. There is a long 50x optical zoom lens, and the camera is capable of producing bright colourful images, although when using the full optical zoom images are quite soft. The camera can shoot at 10fps and fullHD video is recorded at 60fps. For those who want a lot of zoom in a DSLR styled camera, then the S9900W offers compelling value for money, making it recommended.
