A review of the Fujifilm FinePix S9500 digital camera is available at Cameralabs and they highly recommend it.

“[…] The Fujifilm S9500 promises a great deal: it features higher resolution
than current budget digital SLRs and a much longer optical zoom than their typical
3x bundles. […] should you decide an all-in-on ‘bridge’ camera is better suited to your personal preferences and style of photography than a digital SLR, the Fujifilm S9500 Zoom is an excellent choice. It delivers great quality images with a highly versatile lens range at a decent price, and as such comes Highly Recommended.”
