The one that is most powerful, has the most controls (zoom, aperture, auto mode, manual, tilt, rotate, close-up), uses the most convenient battery (AA), fastest recycle time, and at the most affordable price (if money is not a concern, then go for SB80DX, SB800, or Metz hammerheads).
Personally, I have used SB25 on my S602zoom to very good effect, both at Manual and Auto modes.

Hi guys, it's been a pleasure being a part of this family. But, realised that I need the speed that only a DSLR offers. :cry:
However, S9500 is really a great performer!
Also, just to share, I realised the free UV filter I received from MS during the comex reduces the contrast of my lens. I've compared with HOYA HMC UV filter, you can see the difference. So, those of you using the same UV filter, you can verify by placing the UV filter over the naked lens and remove. You'll see the difference by comparing with your eyes.
So, if you feel your pictures lack contrast, or sharpness, then this could be a reason.

Now you got me worried... I purchased the S9500 from MS after the comex and BOUGHT a hoya UV filter also, I think was at $10. How do I know if it's the same one you mentioned. Mine is standard Hoya packaging, think label is purple colour.
HMC UV filter is definitely better right? How much does it cost? MS selling?

The brand is Raydawn. I think HOYA should be ok...
anyway, matching any quality lens with any cheap glass will probably deteriorate the contrast and sharpness.... best is naked lens.... just my 2 cents worth...
By my post, i am not critical of MS... Florence provided me with great service and extra freebies, to which I am grateful.... but, just to share my "discovery".... for the common good of s9500 users... :bsmilie:

I'm experiencing camera shake when using at 300mm zoom, the pictures turn out bit blur. This wasn't the case with my old S5000. Could the weight of the camera be a factor?
Well, I know using tripod could eliminate this problem, but compare : S9500 vs S5000 at 300mm and S5000 is clearer, something missing here??
Btw, anyone bought any 58mm macro lens yet for S9500? Prices?
