The camera has a $350 list price, but you can find it for less than $300. If you can sacrifice Wi-Fi, the S9800 costs even less (avoid looking for the S9400W, in hopes of getting it at a deep discount). If you want manual focus, weather resistance, and improved performance, check out Fujifilm’s S1.

The S9900W offers WiFi, full HD video recording, dedicated buttons that ease navigation, and plenty of attractive filters. The star of the show, of course, is the powerful 50x zoom lens, which gets you up close to far-off subjects, and it performs well at shooting macro.

  Auto focus can be unreliable, Images lack sharp details, especially above 10x zoom, Flash is slow to recharge (over 4 seconds), Electronic viewfinder (EVF) is small, Burst modes last only 10 frames before slowing down, Image processing is slow in burst mode, Low light performance is unimpressive,...

The bridge camera market is quite a crowded place, and unfortunately the Fujifilm Finepix S9900W isn’t a camera which particularly stands out. On the plus side, it takes good pictures (when the lighting conditions are favourable) and it has a good range of shooting modes, including manual for those...

The Fujifilm FinePix S9900W is one of the cheapest ultra zoom bridge cameras available with built in Wi-Fi and EVF. This makes it apealling particularly for those people who might be on a tight budget, and if you want a cheaper version, then the S9800 is available without Wi-Fi.

  50x optical zoom lens, Electronic viewfinder with higher resolution, Built in Wi-Fi (on the S9900W), Full HD video at 60fps, Good value for money

  Image quality could be better, S9800 does not feature Wi-Fi, No dedicated Wi-Fi button on the camera (although you can customis the Fn button)

BUMMER! Had this camera for less than 1 year. Paid $199.00 Electronics went BONKERS! Camera has a mind of its own. Now I need a new one and they are over $400. Now!!

I've never owned an actual camera prior to this one; I absolutely love it. It's easy to use, quick to learn, takes great photos (see attached photo with my Etsy shops watermark), and to me, has a lot of features and feels quite heavy weighted. I couldn't happier with this camera.

Good for general photography but overall nothing special in quality of pictures and rather user unfriendly to use.

Very pleased with quality, pictures and features

My biggest complaint is that the wifi option doesn't work. I have tried several different tips from other users, but so far, none have worked. Had I known the S9800 was the same camera, I would have purchased it. Otherwise, the camera is about what I expected.

I really prefer this camera, it still has the view finder, and the strap for my neck is helpful. This is my third Fujifilm FinePix.

So far the remanufactured camera is operating like a new camera. I hesitated purchasing a remanufactured camera; however, I have heard super reviews - since remanufactured cameras are thoroughly inspected and cleaned. This FUJIFILM FinePix S9900W Digital Camera is clean!

Picture quality is good but has cheap plastic body not good a manuel focus lens be better feel a bit let down over this one doug

Very light weight. Lens cover won't stay on.

liked it very much
