It's not been easy making a choice but I settled for the S9500 in the end. You can make an enquiry, make a reservation or visit MS Colour. I understand that the latest order/shipment arrived just a few days ago. Yes, I think it is selling very well indeed.

Hi,

Can someone advise what is the recommended external flash unit for the the camera?

Price range between $300-$400.

TIA.

[philipcs]

spent $300-$400 to buy a flash for s9500 is a waste...

just look for 2nd hand flash that support auto mode will do... estimated $100-$150 for vivitar 285

[blimmer]

a suntax 328 dtz will do just fine as well

[stout]

Actually they should have some kind of agreement with Nikon to have Nikon TTL flash to be able to use with S9500 also a built in Nikon hot-shoe for a start!

What a waste for S9500 as some have said, cause S9500 is really very good looking Cam.

I saw one at Sim Lim. The salesman almost make me buy the camera, but I did not. It cost $1100 there. I think can go as low is $900 if you try. Good luck!

hmm... good looking?? looks not that important mah.... performance i think is more important? anyway i think now sim lim should have stock for the S95000, not that difficult now right? price should be lower than $1k too!

Err... D50/D70 would have lost some of their market share if Nikon allows that

Ya that might be the reason why theres no nikon hot-shoe in fuji Digicam.

But still the D50/D70s is still a DSLR, different market user!

Ya la... that is why I said 'some of the market share' only Other people like me ever considered getting D50/D70. Imagine s9500 (28mm-300mm) with TTL capable hotshoe that can also shot at ISO1600 compare with D50/D70 with a similar lens. What would be the initial outlay?

So, what's the best deal in town for the S9500 now?

[skywolf]

Whoa!!! S9500 selling at $899 (with freebies) at IT show. Is it a good deal?

Don't think is good deal. I was looking for this cam 2 months ago. Already selling below 900 in many shops at that time. Guess you can get 850 at AP. But if freebies are what you need, worth it.
