I may will probably have either a Fuji S5500 or S9600 for sale around the end
of October. The S5500 is about 2 year olde and the S9600 is about 8 months
old. The reason I am selling is I have now bought a full blown DSLR, its now
a case of seeing which one the wife prefers using then I will probably sell
the other.
