Dimensions


5.5x5.4x3.8 inches, 23.8 ounces


5x5.1x3.7 inches, 22.8 ounces


Lens


7.4 – 88.8mm f/2.8 – 3.7 Leica Vario Elmarit


6.2 – 66.7mm f/2.8 – 4.9 Fujinon


Dust and Moisture seals


Unsealed, flimsy media door; other access areas aren't sealed either.


Media door is big, but not sealed well. Because the S9000 takes both CF and xD cards, there are two slots that may allow dust in.


Camera Controls


Front and rear control dials make a range of adjustments quick and easy. They're particularly good for manual exposure adjustment.


Rear-only control dial slows down some operations


Menus


The FZ30's menus are split into Record, Set-Up and Playback, with a few screens worth of choices in each subdivision. It can take a lot of scrolling to find a particular option.


The S9000's menus are split into Record and Playback. Both are tabbed, which speeds up navigation. A Set-Up submenu brings up 5 more tabs of choices.
