I came across the S9900 looking for a replacement for a Canon powershot. I had several of them over a 10-15 yrar period and wanted another point and shoot to replace the then current model. I was attracted to the S9900 because of its PSAM capabilities and ability to control more variables. thought I'd use it as the others -- a light weight, small camera for travel and family stuff when I did not want to lug the DSLR gear around Boy, am I glad I bought this camera. I use it now more often than my DSLR.
The biggest drawbacks are the weight and size of the camera, it doesn't shoot in RAW . I print my own pictures and process them in Adobe Lightroom. RAW is the best format for doing this. If you don't do post-processing this is meaningless. The camera is heavier and bigger because of the additional features, I guess. It doesn't fit very well into a shirt breast pocket, but an iPhone does, and is the replacement for the Powershot now, but I have a small case for the S9900 and carry it if there is a prospect of picture taking. No bother for me -- it might fit in pockets, but I don't like lots of stuff in my pockets.
Flash on point and shoot cameras is way overrated. None of them have much power, and placement on camera, usually on plane with the camera, produces red eye - if you do post processing in Lightroom this is not a problem, but for the snapshooter this can be more of a pain. I use the flash largely for outdoor fill flash and sometimes indoors to get a little more light. Don't buy this if a powerful flash is an important feature. Don't buy any other point and shoot for that matter, or rely on the flash feature on smartphones either.
The camera is better indoors than point and shoots because of the PSAM feature. you can fiddle with the fstops, shutter speed, and ISO settings to get indoor shots that you might not get with a point and shoot. This should not intimidate -- the learning curve is steep, and the camera itself gives a lot of clues of what settings can be used -- just like all DSLRs.
I've read most of the negative reviews; except complaints about defects and reliability, I attribute most of the negatives to "user error." They haven't tried to learn about or use the features of the camera. Getting blurry pictures of moving objects suggests a faster shutter speeds. Full Auto on any camera can be unreliable on any camera, because the camera does the work and may not choose the right settings for special situations. That's true of any point and shoot.
I was blown away by the pictures I took from the very begginning. This Camera is a little big and heavy, but not much. If that's a problem, sue your smartphone. This is a great and versatile camera. Unless you are looking for special features available only on high-end DSLRs, this could be the only camera you will need.
This camera is wonderful. I'm not going to get into a bunch of technical details - I'm sure other reviewers will have done that. If you want a camera that is compact and can be carried in a purse, but also has the features of a much larger beast, this is it. It has an excellent zoom.
But here's where it won my heart - we spend a lot of time in museums. Anyone who travels and attempts low-light indoor photography knows how "iffy" the results can be. I'm not a techie, but I'm assuming what makes the difference here is the CMOS feature - instead of throwing out 1/3 to 1/2 of my indoor shots, I threw away a tiny percentage. It works GREAT in low-light situations, and it seems to actually "light up" a low-light feature. The one problem is if you have a situation where part of the view is well light and part is dark - in that case the camera will "read" the light part and not the dark area.
Another area where this has been a lifesaver is in my eBay sales. One of the things I like least about selling stuff on eBay is having to take the photos and then photoshop them to compensate for the camera. Still have to do a BIT of that, but this camera has a much better white light sensor; I found that I don't even have to set it for "incandescent" vs. outdoor lighting. It also has an option to manually preset the lighting, which also works quite well.
One complaint is the location of the Wi-Fi button - it's just where you naturally are going to hit it every time you pick up the camera, as it's right where the thumb is going to go. I end up having to shut that off quite often, which is annoying. The rotating screen tempts one to leave it in the "open" position rather than close it up, and it has less range of mobility than the screen on the P100. And this is not a lightweight camera - yes, it goes in a purse, but you'll notice that it's there!
However, in choosing "size" over "viewfinder," I am very happy with the choice - if you want a smaller camera that does just about everything (if not EVERYTHING) the bigger models do, you won't be disappointed!
I have been generally satisified with the S9900. I just have to remember that it isn't a DSLR, so I need to set my expectation accordingly.

Tiene la opción de poder tomar fotos a distancia con la aplicación Wireless Mobile Utility en el télefono y eso permite mejores fotos que con un selfie stick. El cuerpo es metálico con muy buenos acabados lo que le da una imagen de robustez y calidad que es bien recibida. Sigo prácticando los ajustes manuales aunque el ajuste automático sigue produciendo las mejores imágenes. Muy satisfecho con esta compra
