Camera Overview — Fujifilm FinePix S9500

The Fujifilm FinePix S9500 is a fixed-lens bridge-style point-and-shoot camera built around a 9MP, 1/1.7-inch sensor powered by Fujifilm's Fifth-generation Super CCD HR image processor. It supports an ISO range of 80 to 1600, giving photographers a reasonable spread of sensitivity options for varied lighting conditions. Images can be captured at a maximum resolution of 3488x2616 pixels, with color profile support for both sRGB and Adobe RGB — a welcome option for photographers who prefer a wider color gamut in post-processing.

Burst shooting is available at up to 1.5 frames per second, suitable for casual action capture. For composition, the camera offers both a 1.8-inch tilting LCD display with 118,000 dots of resolution and an electronic viewfinder with 235,000 pixels at a 60Hz refresh rate, giving shooters flexibility in how they frame their shots. Video recording tops out at 640x480 at 30fps in 8-bit sRGB, reflecting its era as a stills-first camera.

The flash system includes a built-in pop-up flash alongside a standard ISO hot shoe for attaching an external flash unit. Storage is handled via CompactFlash media, and connectivity includes USB and a 2.5mm microphone jack. The body, constructed of plastic with metal components, measures 128 x 93 x 129 mm and weighs 645g.

Power comes from four AA batteries, with approximately 300 shots per charge using NiMH cells under CIPA standards. No image stabilization is present in this model.
