The 10.7x optical zoom Fujinon lens has a 35mm equivalent focal length of 28-300mm. Despite it's long zoom, in macro mode you can focus on subjects as close as 0.4 inches. Auto focus speeds have been improved and a focus assist light helps out on low light conditions.

Fujifilm has updated the image processing algorithms in the S9100 to provide increased sharpness and better resolution.
