Great Full Featured Compact Camera

The E900, with the 5th generation Fuji CCD, does a terrific job of taking quality images. The startup and image capture times are very good. The RAW mode is what separates this camera from the pack. Download the free S7raw RAW converter, or use any number of photo editing/managing software, such as, ACDSee 8.0, and very high quality images can be had, as no in-camera processing is done.

For the novice, complete auto mode, plus the typical Special Modes, such as Portrait, Action ... are available.

As the skills of the user increase, the scope of the camera keeps pace, such as EV setting, ISO setting, WB selections ....

One of the really nice features is the Natural Light Mode, where ISO is increased in lieu of use of flash. Very nice.
