Does anyone have any experience with this camera? I'm thinking of upgrading to that one from a s5200.

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

Dan- what price range is that one in? There are S-2 Pro bodies going cheap... I am a big fan of Fuji cameras.

Hey Dan,
yup own a S9500, 9mpix ( that is the S9000 model as sold in the USA) for 3 months now love it works well
it was an upgrade from the S7000 6.3 mpix which the wife now owns
what I like the best is its so much faster at turn on/off cuz it doesnt have to wind the zoom lens in and out . At 20 - 300mm zoom I find it great for most stormchasing needs.
I had contemplated upgrading to a true digital SLR but there's NOTHING available in the 8-9mpix range at an
affordable price (for me) ie. under AU$1000 (US$750).
the S9500 (S9000) was AU$795. the closest digi SLR was way over AU$2000
cheers

Dan- I bet the S-2 Pro bodies are getting clsoe to $500... the upside and downside depending on how you want to look at it is the lenses are interchangable. Nothing beats a wide angle lens for storm chasing. KEH Camera is also very good selling used equipment. I've bought some lenses from them with no problems. Good people.

PS- I'm on 1 and 4 right now. Trying to get on 3 also.

I'll take a look at that camera laura. Is that one of the ones you have? It looks familiar. Also, do you know anyone who's on trip 2?
Dave:
How's that light blocker attachment thing? Does it make pictures clearer?

Yes and I have been very pleased. The only lens you need for the most part is a wide angle to start off with.
I am not sure who's on Trip 2... try emailing Karl. He knows.
What light blocker attachment thing? Circular Polarizing Filter? I'd suggest oneof those also.

The lens hood? It stops lens flare...
