Picture Quality / Size Options (8.0)
The Fuji S9000 reveals its snapshooter side with six image sizes – pros and other serious types shoot large and resample their images down on a computer, if need be. The S9000’s size options are 3488 x 2616, 3696 x 2464, 2592 x 1944, 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, and 640 x 480 pixels. The two smallest sizes are pretty much for onscreen display only. 1600 x 1200 will work great in PowerPoint presentations, and 640 x 480 is appropriate for email and eBay. The largest resolution can be captured in either Fine or Normal compression; the rest do not have compression options.

The S9000 offers a RAW file format, which retains all the unprocessed color and luminance data that the imaging chip originally captured. RAW files are much bigger than JPEGs, which are compressed, and enables users far more room to edit the image post-capture.
Picture Effects Mode (7.0)
This feature certainly isn’t prominent on the Fujifilm S9000, probably since picture effects won’t really appeal to the S9000’s audience. Most users of this camera will also use editing software on the computer after taking the pictures. Still, the camera includes Standard, Chrome, and Black & White options. They all look a little flat in the live view, so it’d be better to add this feature in the editing software.
