The Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd Digital Camera combines user-friendliness with long-zoom versatility and easy-to-use shooting modes in a surprisingly compact body. The camera's 10 megapixel resolution provides sharp detailed images and the Fujinon 12x zoom lens provides an incredible range of shooting capabilities. It is well suited for everything from landscapes and group shots to sports photography applications; plus the Panorama Shooting Mode makes it easy to create impressive panoramic photos with up to 3 consecutive shots.
The camera is also designed to help you get the best shot under difficult shooting conditions. Fujifilm's Picture Stabilization Technology uses fast shutter speeds and High ISO levels to ensure that your images will be free of motion blur - even when shooting in low light conditions. Fujifilm's award-winning Face Detection Technology which operates by identifying and prioritizing up to 10 faces in a frame and then adjusting the focus and exposure accordingly, ensures the sharpness and clarity of human subjects in the picture, regardless of background. After the shot is captured the automatic red-eye removal feature instantly checks each detected face for red-eye and if it's found, corrects it in the camera automatically. Furthermore, the Continuous Shooting mode makes it easy to shoot moving subjects such as pets, kids and sports by providing high-speed shooting of up to 15 frames at 7.5 frames per second (at 2 megapixels).
The camera also provides versatility when it comes to framing and viewing your pictures. The high resolution 2.7" Wide View LCD display provides for smooth viewing, and the Electronic viewfinder (EVF) both save power and allow for easier framing of your images when shooting under very bright daylight conditions. Furthermore, thanks to the high-resolution of the LCD, users can display, and clearly view up to 100 thumbnail images simultaneously in 10 x 10 array, so you can quickly find and select specific photos to view or print.
Other helpful features found on the FinePix S1000fd include the i-Flash Intelligent Flash System resulting in an image that displays pleasing, natural tones without a "washed-out" effect; Full Manual Photographic Control for total control of the camera settings; a Movie Mode that capture VGA quality clips at 30 fps with sound; compatibility with xD-Picture, SD and SDHC type memory cards; and it even uses common AA-Type batteries for the ultimate in convenience and accessibility.
