The AF system has been tweaked to make it much quicker. Even at full zoom it had no problem snapping a moving subject. Does anyone know what those knobbly bits are on the top of swans’ beaks?

As with most Fujifilm cameras, colour rendition and exposure are superb.

Shooting a white swan against the bright reflections on the water is an exposure nightmare, but the S9600 has taken it in its stride.

With a wide-angle end equivalent to 28mm, the S9600 is ideal for capturing all the crap that the looters left on the beach after the Napoli ran aground. I hope the company that owns the ship is going to clear it up, rather than it coming out of my council tax.
