FinePix S1000fd Features and Benefits
Super compact DSLR style design.
The S1000fd design allows you to do many things that you can't with most conventional digital SLR’s. For instance, using the 2.7 inch LCD to compose your image, rather than having to lift the camera to cover your eye or the added functionality of a movie mode.
In addition, photo enthusiasts and advanced photographers have total control with manual adjustment options for various camera settings including resolution, ISO, aperture, shutter speed and more.
Fujinon 12x Optical zoom lens.
Fujinon optics have an enviable reputation within the photography industry for their clarity and quality, and the lens on the S1000fd lives up to the name.
Using the excellent zoom range to reach virtually any of the major focal lengths (Ranging from 33 - 396mm*), rather than having to change lenses means you can avoid dust entering the camera, not to mention missing the perfect shot.
The Super Macro mode within the FinePix S1000fd allows you to capture an image as close as approx. 2cm (0.8 inch) making it easy to take high-impact full-frame close-ups.
* 35mm equivalent
2.7 inch LCD Screen with Micro Thumbnail view.
The FinePix S1000fd sports a large 2.7 inch LCD screen possessing an extremely detailed display of 230,000 pixels, it enables you to check focus and get an immediate idea of image sharpness.
This model can also display up to 100 images at a time in the micro-thumbnail view allowing you to instantly select specific images to either view or print.
10 megapixel sensor with Real Photo Technology.
Boasting a 10 megapixel CCD sensor, with a maximum sensitivity of ISO3200* the FinePix S1000fd delivers high image quality that promises sharper, more brilliant, high-resolution pictures whatever the scene. You'll see the benefits in every image you capture.
Real Photo Technology is the combination of cutting edge technologies such as Face Detection, Real Photo Processor and Fujinon lens, all optimised to work together to produce the most natural, beautiful results in any conditions. As one of the largest imaging companies worldwide Fujifilm is in a position to develop and to manufacture these components themselves, and it is this control over the design of the entire system that makes RPT so powerful.
* At ISO3200, resolution is set to 3 megapixels. At full resolution (10 megapixels), sensitivity is limited to a maximum ISO1600.
Never a blurred moment.
Picture Stabilisation uses the increased sensitivity of the FinePix S1000fd and high-speed shutter settings to reduce blur caused by hand-shake or subject movement. It allows the camera to automatically choose the correct light sensitivity and optimal shutter speed to produce clear, blur-free images, even when shooting at maximum zoom range.
In addition, the FinePix S1000fd movie mode offers the top-level 30 fps VGA benchmark, providing a valuable backup to the camera's still image capability.
Fujifilm's Face Detection Technology.
Operating throughout the entire range of the 12x zoom lens, Face Detection instantly identifies faces in the scene and automatically adjusts focus and exposure to ensure beautiful people pictures. The movement tracking keeps the camera 'locked on' to its subjects until they move out of the picture. The technology works irrespective of the subject's position in the frame, and is not confused by glasses.
Say goodbye to Red-eye – for good.
Red-eye is the single biggest reason why the best portraits are ruined. The FinePix S1000fd uses Face Detection technology to find and instantly correct any red-eye from every face in the frame as the shot is taken.
The system on the FinePix S1000fd will only correct redness in the pupil of the eye, not elsewhere in the picture, because the camera uses eye detection within face detection to find the pupil. While other cameras can sometimes convert lips or red jewellery to brown or blue, the FinePix S1000fd never gets it wrong.
Versatile Shooting Modes.
The FinePix S1000fd features 14 pre-programmed scene modes that offer a one-touch setting for almost any situation, including: Portrait, Landscape, Sport, Night, Fireworks, Sunset, Snow, Beach, Museum, Party, and Flower.
Simply choose a Scene Position that suits the situation and you have the ideal settings for everything from shutter speed, exposure and white balance ready to capture the image. The display of helpful descriptions of each mode and Scene Position within the LCD make it simple to explore the versatility of the S1000fd when faced with any photo opportunity.
NEW Panorama Shooting Mode.
For capturing sweeping scenery or large groups of people, the new Panorama Shooting Mode makes it easy to create impressive panoramic photos. Panorama Shooting Mode captures and combines a maximum of three consecutive shots at 3 Megapixel resolution, which are saved to the memory card as a single panoramic picture.

I love it!
I am a complete novice at photography, but an artist eager to learn. I was torn between getting an 'aim & shoot' that would fit in my handbag, but still have good pictures or something with a few more features that would still satisfy when I'm more of a pro.
I purposely chose this camera because the 10mb pixels and zoom attracted me. Was a bit concerned that it would now be too big and heavy as it clearly won't fit the handbag, but I was wrong. I absolute love my little camera, it's nice & compact. I've taken it to a music gig over the weekend and it fitted nicely into my small backpack. I have emptied my 64mb card four times now and the bateries it came with are still going. The quality of the pictures is beautiful and it even tells you you're shaking too much before you take a blurry picture. The flash is very good, but not even needed unless it's really dark as the auto function adjusts the light very well.
To add, I decided to take a risk and also buy the Fujifilm Premium Leather Camera Case, which according to the Fuji website was made for FinePix S1000fd. Amazon didn't have a picture of the case so I wasn't sure what to expect, but the camera fits perfectly and it can also hold a memory card & 4 bateries. Not more than that, but that's all you need and it keeps the camera protected from bumps & scratches.
Fujifilm Premium Leather Camera Case for FinePix S1000fd
' Excellent Value for Money camera'
I bought this camera 3 weeks ago and I am absolutely delighted with it !This is not a simple point and shoot camera, but this is a well built gem resembling a small light weight SLR with very high specifications and a whole host of features including 'Macro' and 'super Macro'. It has a wide range of ISO ( 64 - 3200 ! )for all light conditions with Auto,Programme, Aperture priority, Shutter priority and Manual exposure modes. Additional bonuses are a 'Panorama mode'and 12 X optical Zoom with 10 MP and 2.7 " screen and Face Detection. Takes good videos.Controls are well placed. This camera is a good bargain now for £123/- on the Amazon web site! I will strongly recommend this brilliant camera for someone who is good with ISO and exposure controls etc.With correct settings image stabilisation is not a problem.
Money well spent
I read a few reviews on this camera on this site and a google search before i decided to take the plunge and buy it mainly because most said it was a good sound buy for someone who wants a little more than just a point and shoot camera but for a budget price.
so far i am not disapointed some say build quality is not up to scratch but i disagree i think it is a well constructed camera everything seems to fit well and the switches seem to be a decent quality i can't forsee any major problems from these maybe the idea of a plastic camera worries some people but in my experience in the electronics trade i find modern plastics on a par with metal in most cases as long as a decent one is used i think this is.
So far i have tested most of the features and they all work well, i am impressed with the face recognition software it works well and the macro is superb i have yet to test it to extremes in landscape mode but i soon shall be venturing up into the dales to do so ( my last camera let me down badly when it came to landscape photo's ).
I have to give it 5 stars because for the price £122 when i purchased it i think is amazing value for money and one has to wonder if fuji actually make any profit at all on that, and lets face it if you get two years use out of it before it falls apart well i think that would be money well spent and i don't think you could realy grumble at that.
and last but not least the size will amaze you because in the pictures it looks big it's not untill you get it out of the box that you realise just how small it is.
so go on if you want a superzoom camera for the price of a standard digital camera but this you will not be disapointed.
