    I am confused - I have seen reference to what appears to be the same new camera from Fuji, named S9000 and S9500 in different places.
    Have two been released or is it a mistake?

    I just looked on Fuji's site and there is no reference to either on there.

    No - they don't seem to keep up to date on their own stuff!

    The PR posted here calls it S9500 and others seem to refer to one called S9000. They must be the same - the specs seem the same to me.

    One is probably for the European market the other for the American market.

    Like my Finepix S5500 here is known as the S5100 in the states.

    Ah, I see.
    Confusing when the numbers are so similar.

    There's an S5200 as well.

    It appears they don't have IS, but "anti blur" mode - does anyone know how that is supposed to work?

    Check out:

    S9000
    S5200

    if you haven't already.

    The closest I've found to an explanation to 'anti blur' is in a description for the new E900:


    Quote: near instantaneous shutter response and high sensitivity capabilities help minimise camera shake and image blur

    as the press release for the S5200 states:


    Quote: The Anti-Blur Mode, which exploits the cameras exceptional ISO capabilities, reduces blurring caused by movement of the user, as well as movement blur caused by the subject

    as they use the same 5th generation Super CCD HR technology.

    From fujifilm.com S9000 press release "Anti-Blur that automatically adjust the camera's ISO settings to combat camera shake and blur " See full article HERE

    Put simply, it's a high-ISO low-noise mode that increases shutter speeds rather than compensating for actual camera movement.

    And natural light mode seems to be (judging by the picture) turning off the flash and setting a slow shutter speed. New names for old techniques.

    Hmmmmmm decisions, decisions, decisions...

    Was thinking about a Nikon D70S or D100 but now I have seen this and already own a S7000, I am wondering if this would be a better buy for me, especially if it uses 55mm adaptor tubes.

    If you already own an S7000 I doubt that this would give you any more satisfaction. If you have outgrown the S7000 go for a dSLR. If you haven't, then keep it.

    it is the 28-300 with wide angle zoom capability that really draws me to it as to buy a decent DSLR lens of the same spec with filters etc would cost close to the price of the camera alone without the DSLR body. As I already have plenty of 55mm filters etc, I am thinking of budget restraints more than anything. again that would depend on if this camera does take the 55mm adaptors/filters.

    Fuji look to have updated their site with the S9000 product details here

    I'll just sit in my corner and quietly sob.
    I knew Fuji (my heart belongs to Fuji) would do this the minute I bought the D70.

    Long lens but how sharp is it and how quickly can you focus and shoot?
