Fujifilm Finepix S1000fd 10MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Zoom

The Fuji Film FinePix S1000fd's 12x optical zoom lens expands your shooting reach, covering a remarkable focal range of 33-396mm, bringing you close enough to capture subtle expressions. The single built-in lens means you're always ready to shoot, with no need for bulky extra lenses or time-consuming lens changes. Picture Stabilization mode automatically sets the optimum shutter speed and sensitivity for each scene, preventing blur from camera shake or fast-moving subjects, even in low-light situations. Super Macro mode lets you move in as close as 2cm (0.8") making it easy to take high-impact full-frame close-ups. The Panorama Shooting Mode makes it easy to create impressive panoramic photos. This mode captures and combines up to 3 consecutive shots, which are saved to the memory card as a panoramic picture. The FinePix S1000fd automatically detects and corrects unsightly red-eye reflections that often spoil flash photos of people. A large, high resolution LCD with 230K Resolution makes it easy to compose great shots and to see photo details when you play back captured images.

Replacement Camera (John R. Simmons, Lamoille, NV USA, 2008-11-16)

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.

Fantastic camera and great value! (D. SHAW, Charleston, SC USA, 2008-11-11)

I love this camera. I made a mistake by purchasing the Kingston 2 meg card. This camera tries to send too much data to a regular card. You need to get a high speed SD card to utilize this fantastic camera to it's fullest.

I hope this helps you if you purchase this excellent deal!

From Kodak to Fujifilm (Sparkies Mom, Ann Arbor, MI, 2008-11-07)

I used to use a Kodak Easy Share and really enjoyed the camera for many years. However, for my anniversary I decided my husband should upgrade my camera as we both use it a lot. I liked the look of a SLR so I was drawn to the Fuji.
I just got it and I am instantly in love with this camera. I have been taking pictures of random things just to test it out and it is living up to my expectations. It takes great micro close ups which I could not do with my previous camera. It allows me to take pictures that retain the ambience of the room without harsh flash. It takes the pictures fast so that my pets do not have time to get away....I highly recommend this product.

Horrible Digital Camera (P. Lee, 2008-11-03)

I bought this camera based on other people's review, I guess I was wrong to listen to the opinion of others because this camera sucks. I took it on a trip to Florida and the quality was horrible and the zoom did not even work. I've purchased many expensive camera(s) such as Nikon and I have to admit, don't go cheap because cheap doesn't always offer you good quality photo's. I will never buy another Fuji camera or another cheap one, because it's just not worth my time or value. Lastly, I returned the camera and Amazon was amazing at refunding the full amount I paid for the camera with no problem what so ever.
