Issues with the Fuji S9500

[michhy]

The lack of sharpness is quite a characteristic of the SuperCCD. The sharpness will be there on print, not when pixel-peeping. The percieved SuperCCD advantage is meant for prints.

though "grainy" i seem to get lots of details captured compared to my previous Sony which appear sharp and crisp

hmmm... iso 80 very grainy meh?
i bought mine when it first came out, i dont have this problem. i only get visible grain at 400 above. even 800 looks good.

softness - sometime is because of focusing problem. 9500 very very very auto bad focusing. try maunal focus and press the center button. or manual with the zoom-in function.
sometime also bcause of poor lighting that causes the focusing problem.

i agreed on the good quality and sharpness when printing out the images (especially at fujifilm shop ).. dont know why... on screen look sharp but printed out look even sharper.. -_-"

try to play around with the different focus mode.. center, multi, area.
use photoshop USM also very good.

I took some pics at the Aerospace show and it seems this camera does a reasonably good job under good lighting condition. I have to test out with a few more shoots before I confirm this. Here is the link.

Only, under low light conditions, the autofocus tends to be bad. I will monitor closely for the next few weeks and post my findings.

Were you using a high ISO for this shot? It seems grainy.

You can see the ISO from the exif data. It was 100.
