A little advice for a newbie

PvtPyle · 28-07-2008, 12:52

Have long been interested in photography, but only in so far as spending hours trawling flickr and various photography websites and fora looking at other people's work. Time to take the plunge and get involved myself.

Having read around as much as possible, I think I have settled on the Fujifilm FinePix S9600 as a good bridge camera for me to learn the ropes with. It seems to get brilliant write ups everywhere. Can anyone suggest a reason why this might not be a good way for me to go?

There's a review here: Link to TrustedReviews

TIA

Edit: Oh, and I posted on The SPS too just for sake of getting more advice so sorry for DP

In my opinion you've picked a superb camera.

We have one and recommended it to Mr Belmit

If you get yours before me I'll be hella disgruntled. There won't be a gruntle on me.

Highly unlikely. Mumsy is buying, and she took the uber rubbish free delivery that takes ages to arrive

Belmit · 28-07-2008, 23:21

Me too! It sucks.

On a couple of occasions I've had some random turn up at the door in a battered old Volvo estate to deliver. Getting it delivered at work this time so should be OK.
