Fuji 6500FD vs 9500 vs 8000fd

Kotetsushin Jeeg · 28th December 2008

Hi

I wanted to get a Fuji prosumer and have extremely limited budget.

My choices are:

1. Fuji 6500FD (refurbished $200)
2. Fuji 9500 (refurbished S$300)
3. Fuji 8000fd (refurbished $300)

Which one is recommended?

I know the 6500FD and 9500 has no mechanical IS function but the 8000fd has dual IS. But I quite like the mechanical zoom of the 6500FD and 9500 since the 8000fd is using electronic zoom.

Please help.

Thanks

The 9500 has only a 1.8" LCD screen for preview of images. The 6500 has a 2.5" LCD. Is the smaller LCD of 9500 an issue?

The 9500 can take in SD card which the 6500 can't. The 9500 can take in flash but the 6500 can't. But what kind of flash can be used with the 9500? Ordinary TTL flashes?
