Manufacturer Description

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.

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 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.

High-speed shooting Capture the action with the High Speed Shooting mode: 7.5 fps at 2MP for 15 shots; 3.3 fps at 5MP for 6 shots; and 1.4 fps at 10MP for 3 shots.

Movie recording VGA quality at 30 frames per second with sound.

14 Pre-programmed Scene 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, Flower, Text.

xD/SD/SDHC-compatible slot The FinePix S1000fd features an xD/SD-compatible slot, which accepts not only Fujifilm's traditional xD-Picture Cards but also Secure Digital (SD) and SD-High Capacity/SDHC cards too.

Operates on 4 AA batteries The ultimate in convenience and accessibility, using AA batteries means that, in a pinch, more batteries are just moments away.

Disappointing
I recently bought a Fujifilm Finepix S1000fd, and I have to say, I'm somewhat disappointed. First of all, the 12x zoom doesn't live up to my expectations. It doesn't have a stabilizer, and the pictures ALWAYS turn out blurry (when zoomed). The night shots didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, either.

On the plus side, however, most of the other settings are nice. I used the "flower" setting to take some pretty amazing, vivid shots. And the flash seems very powerful.

However, I don't like it as much as my Nikon Coolpix S500 that I bought recently. The Nikon is more user-friendly, and the pictures actually turn out brighter and more crisp on the Nikon (which was a surprise to me as well). I'd recommend the Fuji for the all the settings and the Macro, but its zoom feature and indoor shots leave something to be desired.

FinePix S1000fd
I just got this camera to replace my old FinePix S3000. The S1000fd is a tremendous camera. I love the large LCD viewing area which is great

I'm still experimenting with all the features but I can say for sure this is well worth the price I paid. Do some homework and shop it for the best price...I've seen it as low as sub $200.

The multitude of manual and automatic settings allows you to really enjoy taking photos. This is certainly not the typical point-and-shoot digital camera and it borders on the "semi-pro" level of digital SLR style cameras.

It's physical size will surprise you but don't be fooled by it's size...this camera rocks!

Clear Pictures!
I love this camera. I bought this to replace my Canon SD400. The pictures are VERY clear and crisp. You just have to MAKE SURE it's on the CORRECT setting to get good results. The camera is also a LOT smaller than you think. It can fit into the palm of my hand.

The Good and the Bad and the Ugly

I've owned my Kindle for about 5 months now. Overall, I really like the concept and mostly like the execution. Being a man of few words I'll just get to the points.
The Good:
I can get something to read just about anywhere. Many of the latest best sellers are available for $9.99. No need to drive to the bookstore. I can get a novel while I'm brushing my teeth. I really like the adjustable type size. I'm trying to pretend I don't need reading glasses and I can do this quite easily with the touch of a button on the Kindle. Downloading is quick. Most books I get are loaded in about a minute and it's free. Once you get the hang of where to put your fingers, navigation is easy.
The Bad:
The large page buttons make it easy to quickly turn to the next page, but they cover the entire upper 4/5ths of the side and have smaller buttons on most of the bottom middle. It's very easy to accidently hit a page button and go forward or back several pages in an instant. They should have allowed more space to hold it without hitting buttons. The cover helps with this, but it isn't perfect. As far a material goes, if you're just into books it's great, but anything with pictures seems to be not worth most publisher's effort. Greyscale pics look fine when they are used, but a lot of magazines either skip some articles or print without any graphs, pics or anything other than text. I also have a problem with the availability of content. While we are told that new material is being added all the time I keep getting frustrated. I read the first book of a series in paperback, then bought the second on the Kindle. Even though the third is out it's not available on Kindle. I thought I'd re-read the first and found it's not available either. How can you only have book two when three books have been published?
The Ugly:
I tend to use the Kindle only for brief periods and have not needed to charge the battery all that much. However, I now need to buy a new battery after barely 5 months of light use because it won't hold a charge.
For the most part I'm happy with my Kindle. It could use some design tweaks, a decent battery and more content. The ability to obtain and read a book from anywhere in only a few minutes is awesome.
