Jeff Keller just posted his review on Fuji FinePix S9000 and wrote:

“What I liked: Very good photo quality (though see issues below), Good high ISO performance for a non-SLR camera, Nice focal range for an ultra zoom, 28 - 300 mm, Solid, SLR-style body with manual zoom/focus rings, Full manual controls, Fast startup, focusing, shot-to-shot speeds (assuming you’re not using RAW mode), LCD/EVF usable in low light, AF-assist lamp, good low light focusing, Hot shoe and flash sync port for external flash, Useful Natural Light, Anti-blur modes (though see issues below), No redeye, Good macro mode for an ultra zoom
Dual memory card slots, Excellent movie mode; zoom lens can be used during filming, Very good battery life, USB 2.0 High Speed support.

What I didn’t care for: While better than fixed lens cameras, images are noisier than similarly priced D-SLRs, Anti-blur mode works at stabilizing images, but increased noise limits output options; optical image stabilizers are better for this, Sluggish performance in some areas: RAW recording, continuous shooting write times, playback mode, Camera offers RAW mode but no software to do anything with it; RAW option is buried in setup menu, No focus distance shown on LCD/EVF in manual focus mode, Full shutter speed range only available in M mode, Body suffers from “button clutter”, Tiny memory card, no rechargeable batteries included ..”
