I had the D2H in my mind when I was thinking about that, sorry.surfwax95 said:I wouldn't say megapixels mean nothing. How do you think that 2.6Mp D1H (I've never seen a 4Mp D1H, only a 5.3) will look once it's blown up to 48x24? I guess it depends on what you plan to do with the final image. In general, the D1H definitely would blow away the S9000.
I totally agree with your statement about the ISO, however. Fuji's sensor is definitely not comparable with Nikon's. I try to keep the ISO on 80 with my camera. I've taken a few pictures in low light with ISO 1600 and they do look pretty noisy.
Anyways, to answer the original question, yes the Fuji S9000 is a great camera. It's very easy to use and the money that you save on it (given your $700 limit) you could buy a case and a 2GB CompactFlash card.
I would definitely heed DigitalN.'s advice and look at the Nikon D50, however. It wasn't right for me at purchase time, but it's a great camera. A little more professional oriented, mind you, but a great camera.
