Fujifilm Finepix S1000fd

I have owned this camera now for approximately 2 weeks, I bought it from ebay for a great price! Although refurbished, I have NO complaints! Where to start! This camera has fantastic features, great 12x zoom, and the lens is as good as you can get for the price, I paid! (£90).... Before I had the camera arrive at my home I downloaded the manual from the Fujifilm website as a *.PDF document and had a good read, although none of it really made any sense at the time, but since I have had the camera it has proved an invaluable asset! The camera boasts many preset settings and features so you can go from point and shoot in automatic mode, to a little bit ...  Read the complete review

The Fuji FinePix S1000fd is very SLR-like in appearance and the added bulk of the battery-holder/grip does give it an assured feeling in your hands. Of course, this can be a disadvantage, and if you want a camera that you can just slip in-and-out of your pocket, then maybe a slimmer compact should be considered. The 12x optical zoom is excellent and it equates to 33-396mm in 35mm terms - and if this isn't enough, there is a 5.7x digital zoom feature too. The menus are friendly and easy to navigate, and there are helpful explanatory prompts that appear on thew LCD screen when the mode-dial setting is changed. There are 15 preset scenes to ...  Read the complete review

Right then this is my 1st review so lets hope I make it a good one eh. Well, I have owned a fujifilm s1000fd now for around 5-6 months and must have used it in pretty much every scenario imaginable. The first thing you notice when getting this camera out of the box is just how small it is. Now don't let this fool you into thinking its got to be very basic. It is far from it in fact, every square milimeter of this thing must be packed with every imaginable piece of technology because it has more features per square inch than the best gadgets from james bond. There are numerous settings to play around with on the main dial including: Automatic, ...  Read the complete review

I have lots of gadgets, well that is an understatement, so I already had an SLR digital camera, but when I saw this on sale at Littlewoods Direct for just over £100 I had to get hold of one to use as a second 'take everywhere' camera. To say I was surprised at what I got for the money is an understatement. The good... The camera is very compact and fits nicely in the hand. The 2.5-inch screen is nice and clear and bright, not the highest resolution, but very nice. The zoom lens is responsive and gives 12x optical zoom. It also goes right back into the camera when not in use. The layout of the buttons on the top and back are just great, very accessible and ...  Read the complete review

The finepix is a mighty fine "bridge camera" but lets get something out the way...this is no DSLR! Feauture wise its great and is able to take B&W, Sepia and standard images in its stride. The zoom as well is great (a whole 12x) and camera shake wise its softwares sorts it out. It feels solid in the hand and is small enough to carry and use as a anyday camera. An annoying little niggle is the flash isnt auto pop up so you have to remember to press the button to release the flash. The viewing screen is big and clear, and the buttons are well thought out. Another niggle is the lens cap has a knack of falling off even when touched ...  Read the complete review
