Perfect for advanced amateur photographers who want an affordable, step-up digital camera, the 10-megapixel FinePix S1000fd builds on the legacy of the FinePix S700 with the addition of a Fujinon 12x optical zoom lens (33mm-396mm equivalent) for greater range and flexibility, Fujifilm’s proprietary Face Detection Technology with Automatic Red Eye Removal, and a brand new Panoramic Shooting mode.

Finepix S1000fd Highlights

Face Detection with Automatic Red Eye Removal Face Detection operates by identifying and prioritizing up to 6 faces in a framed scene, and then adjusting the focus and exposure accordingly to ensure the sharpness and clarity of human subjects in the picture, regardless of background. After a shot is captured each detected face is instantly checked for red eye; if it is found, it is corrected automatically, saving the time-consuming process of fixing it later.

1) Face in sharp focus, 2) Optimized brightness

Panorama Shooting mode For catching beautiful scenery or very large groups, the new Panorama Shooting mode makes it easy to create impressive panoramic photos. This mode captures and combines a maximum of three consecutive shots at 3 megapixel resolution each, which are saved to the memory card as a panoramic picture.

2.7-inch, high-resolution LCD Rounding out the FinePix S1000fd’s powerful feature set is a large, 2.7-inch high-resolution (230k pixel) LCD plus electronic viewfinder (EVF) and ISO levels of up to ISO 1600 at full resolution and ISO 3200 at 3-megapixel resolution.

Picture Stabilization mode in action

Picture Stabilization mode A selectable mode, Picture Stabilization uses the heightened 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.

Full manual photographic control Photo enthusiasts and advanced photographers have total control with manual adjustment options for various camera settings including resolution, ISO, aperture, shutter speed and more.

Customer Reviews

i usually dont leave review but with this i HAVE to
I usually dont leave reviews, however with this I HAD to. Although I had never owned a Fuji camera before, I bought it based on the reviews from various websites. I have had Sony, Casio and Canon camera's before but it was time to upgrade my Megapixels and also have more user changeable settings.

PRO's
* Looks nice
* Lightweight
* Cheap
* Supports SDHC
* Uses standard AA batteries

CONs
* Color is horrible! No matter what mode your in or how you change the settings, the color is always off.
* Whitebalance settings do NOT work properly. Sure changing the whitebalance settings changes the colors, but from bad to worse!
* Even on the highest quality setting and the best ISO, the image is still grainy and not sharp. Hard to believe it is actually 10 Megapixel.
* Extremely slow response (I have kids and need the shutter to work the second I press the button.)


I tried playing with the settings for 2 days to get the picture quality I wanted. I had to change settings continuously to get a picture to come out "decent." Since the AUTO setting was poor, it was too cumbersome to take pictures. I had to take the camera back and ended up spending more for a 10 Megapixel Canon Powershot. The Canon is slightly bigger and heavier but well worth it. I figured that it is an investment spending more for a higher quality image, especially if oyu have kids. You cannot put a price on memories. I am completely satisfied with the image quality and functionality of the Canon.

Solid Starter Camera
I think this is a really good starter digital camera. Since it comes with manual controls if gives you the best of both worlds. I've been using it for student photo projects and it works really well. I was using Olympus & Polaroid cameras before and they do not compare. I like the sturdiness, look and feel and the simplified on screen menu and the listed features are truly great especially at this price. It gives it's more expensive counterparts a run for their money. I must (surprisingly) say that I am now a Fujifilm fan. If you are looking for a step up from film, a step down from an SLR for beginner's or photo student use, this solid starter camera is for you. I don't think you will be disappointed.

The only downside is that it doesn't come with a carrying case or memory card, look for a kit for a better deal.

Replacement Camera
I bought the S1000 to replace an older Fuji camera. I like the shape of the Fuji because it fits my hand better than the cigarette pkg sized cameras. This camera had all of the improved features I was looking for and I liked it enough to buy one just like it for my son.
