I have been very pleased with my Fujifilm cameras. I used up a S9000 with a 10x twist barrel zoom and last year I replaced it with a Finepix HS25EXR with a 30X zoom lens. I like the twist barrel manual zoom. The S9000 took good movies too, as does this camera, however, this camera uses the .MOV format while I prefer the .AVI. format of my other cameras. I take most of the video of our dogs.
The new camera has a super macro setting that I like, and for close up models I use a tri-pod and set the aperture to the smallest setting I can. I let the camera determine the proper shutter speed and it does it very well. I too use the timer to prevent movement in the picture.
I have another Fuji I am using for movies. an S2800HD. It is awkward to use for regular pictures, but works well on the tripod for movies in the .AVI format.
