Fujifilm Finepix S1000FD

Small enough to fit in your coat pocket but has all the benefits of a S.L.R.but with video as well great camera for quick shots and can be used as a manual camera as well 5 stars all the way

can't think of one !

Great camera, packed with features for not alot of money, took 600 shots on the batts that came with the camera and also used them batteries to learn the cameras settings and features! Very impressed!

Bit bulky for a lot of users.

This is a great small digital camera with many qualities of an SLR camera that you can easily carry around, but still with ease of use of a simple compact digital. The large LCD is a bonus and I am surprised at how long the batteries last. Altogether very pleased so far!

I haven't found any bad points yet. Just rread the manual well before using as the many settings within a compact camera make some of the manual setting menus a little tricky to use unless you are familiar with it.

Not being the worlds best photographer I found the Finepix 1000sd very easy to master i. e. menu functions easy to follow. The picture quality is much better than anything i have used in the past, over all i am very pleasd with it, agood stepping stone un till I graduate to a digital s.l.r.

The only thought that I had was that it seemed very lightly built,

silence - rechargable batts - understandable manual - best in the 45yrs of photography for the price...

A good quality camera,light weight,easy to take onto aircraft in hand luggage

No memory with camera to get started with

neat little camera with lots of features you'd expect tp pay shed loads more money for. I love the super macro. You can focus in on tiny details really close up with no fuzziness

can't think of ny bd points at the moment s I'm still getting used to it

Well build camera, good shape, cant beat the picture colour and quality!

Cannot Change image from jpeg!

Versatile, beautiful images, easy to master the controls and great value for money. Especially like the macro nd panoramic facilities.

None, so far.

Great size, much easier to carry around than a "full size" camera. The picture quality is wonderful, especialy when using the super macro feature. The panoramic feature just fantastic for those sweeping landscapes and also for interior shots. Battery life is better than quoted, I used it for two weeks (over 500 photos and 10 minutes of video, multiple playback and deltion of files) on one set of batteries. An ideal camera for those wanting a step up from a compact camera but don't want to spend a fortune on a D-SLR.

Battery cover feels fragile. No picture stabilisation, no problem for most shots, but when you use the zoom can be an issue without a tripod.

ease of use quality and look of camera

a thread to take a filter to protect the lens would be good

Easy to use, big clear screen.good optical zoom

no lithium battery

panorama, lens, options

focusing time, viewfinder

Easy of use, flexible and stylish, love the zoom capability, perfect for my bird photo's

Can't think of anything

Does eactly what it says on the tin. Great camera for the serious amateur who doesn't want to upgrade to a full DSLR at present.

Nothing at present

the camera takes good photos it is small enough tofit in pocket or ladies handbag

Great zoom. Really good pics. Easy to use. Battery appears to be lasting well

very easy to use good features value for money

none to mention

having both types of viewer & both types of card, good face detection very comfortabe to hold

none so far

- easy to use even without any knowledge - ability to use with manual settings

- don't know

Good gadget features, excellent picture quality and generous zoom for the price you pay

Not very user friendly you'll need to study the thick manual that comes with it. It's quite complicated.

Easy to use, compact enough to carry easily, plenty of features to use if you want complete control or a simple point and shoot if thats all thats needed. Easy to hold, a well thought out design.

Seems to accentuate colours making greens and reds over emphasised.

It is an excellent camera for either pointing and shooting or taking more composed shots. Image quality is fantastic and motion capture is excellent - catching individual 'splashes' of water with no blur for example. Super macro (taking pictures from <2cm) is a brilliant toy and results in some quite amazing shots. Continuous shooting options are also impressive and useful for capturing motion.

Menu system could be slightly better organised & more easily accessible. Can't thing of a single other serious issue.

very easy to use,very good for my course

a good camera easy to use great picture quality

can't think of any

very user friendly

should come with a case

Easy simple camera to use. Has a good manual with it. Great for close up shots (I have a 1 year old and i've taken some great pictures!). Red eye removal feature is very good. Excellent camera for a good price, would highly recommend.

Doesn't come with a camera case. You have to pop-up the flash (it's not automatic), but not necessarily a bad thing, the pictures are generally much better without the flash anyway in my opinion.

It has all the features of a more expensive camera and is so simple to use.

I can't find any bad points up to now.

Easy to use in auto mode. Manual settings available at the turn of a control, just like my old SLR. Panorama mode is fun and cool artistically. Light and fairly compact. Nice to hold.

Still to find out how to kill the beep - every tiny adjustment causes it to beep - can be annoying to others at public events. I'll crack this soon.

ideal for random use by inexperienced photograghers due to the wide zoom range and ten mega-pixel resolution - even at maximum zoom inc digital there is better than 2 mega-pixel resolution

Quality camera with a robust feel. Good value, well engineered and designed.

think I would prefer a rechargeable lithium battery to the standard AA batteries, but they come in rechargeable form too.

I really enjoy your using this camera as it is easy to snap away at moving objects and focus on detail . I find the camera itself is very sturdy and easy to handle. The zoom on it is fantastic. Overall the camera is good value for money.

Easy to use, and light weight

No rechargeable batteries

Fits in the hand nicely.

excellent value for money. great picture quality. good anti shake mechanism. an all round brilliant camera for either the novice or the experienced snapper.

The quality of construction, the electronic viewfinder, the zoom range, both optical and digital are excellent, and in the time I have had to use the product I have found it a delight. The carrying case ,etc which come in the bundle is excellent, and a wonderful accessory to have - it is robust and spacious, yet light in weight.

Perhaps my only minor criticism is the on/off switch with its 'springback' mechanism is sometimes a little difficult to operate; I feel that a two position switch would perhaps be easier.

excellent product all round

no carry case

Easy to use - excellent quality Fuji - what else can I say - very impressed - 12 x very good quality and clear.Good Value Uses xDand SD cards -

Only one small point - Fuji could consider having the facility to put a skylight filter on the lens to protect it. Other than that - A all round excellent camera

very ggood

The camera is easy to use and appears to be robust for out door usage. The camera bag is good and size wise, in keeping with the camera. Plenty of storeage for bits a pieces.

No bad points.

very good for the price, good zoom as well

Hard to achieve depth of field

Good quality pictures, easy to use (except the flash which you have to open to use), good zoom and panoramic feature. I particularly like the AA battery usage instead of carrying a charger, EU plug etc on holiday!

Camera is much bigger than other ones on the market. You have to "pop" the flash up to use it (but it is protected from damage) and the camera wheel setting can easily move when the camera is in a bag

The camera is very easy to use

Only just had it and not used it extensively, however it seems fairly intuitive in its use and the quality of the images is very good.

Not discovered any as yet.

Light, Easy to Use, Good Features, good Pictures

some of the plastic parts feel a bit cheap

Easy to use, great zoom and image quality and amazing value for money.

Not any really.

quite easy to use, good features, good quality pictures.

when using playback you have to swich off camera to go back to taking photos, annoying.dont get a pouch for carrying the camera.

Excellent value for money - 10mp pics with most of the features from a larger camera. Very easy to understand and use. Great screen, larger than most in this price range. 12x optical zoom is good.

Haven't really found any - screen can be a bit slow in low light.

picture quality Features and editing

lens cap

It's light and easy to use, good value for money and very goo quality.

There are no bad points that I can think of at the time of filling in this review

easy to use - even for me fantastic zoom quality easy down loads etc people think its massively expensive - when it was really good value

none I can think of

we liked the camera because it is as simple as point and click the camera does the rest for you. we liked the mode where it continues to take photos as you get a good sequence of shoots.

none as yet.

small neat and eay to use but with options for creative use.

easy to use even for a novice like me used it on hol was really impressed with the quality of the pictures

have not found any yet

For the money, I think you would be hard pushed to improve on this model at this time!!

I preferred the clip-on style of the old lens caps ie. S5000 model

i found this very easy to use there a lots of features which i will probably never use but it does take very clear pictures

at this point i would say there is not a lot of bad points as i have still to use various functions

A nice camera for the person needing a good point and shoot or someone requiring more control. Ergonomically designed, allows a good grip with the important buttons in the right place so that you can concentrate on taking the shot rather than fumbling to find the shutter or zoom controls unlike the more compact models.

Access to change the memory card is via the battery compartment at the base of the camera. This is a real faf especialy when fitted with a "Quick Detachable" tripod mount as my camera is. Does not shoot RAW - but I knew this when I bought it - would be a nice refinement though Fuji?

Compact & light for an SLR style camera, amazing zoom, simple auto modes and the potential to tinker if you feel the urge.

I don't like the Fuji PC software, but then there are plenty of other tools that will grab your photos off the camera and organise them for you.

Nice camera, loads of features.

None that is apparent.

built very well, takes great pictures, very good value for money, takes more than one type of card

if anything is bad, it is some of the setting are not the easiest to find, maybe this will get better the more i use it.

easy to use,good zoom

compact size but still feels rugged and easy to hold large lcd screen anti shake very good

battery life

Difficult to find certain details in manual - could have been written in a user friendly way.

so easy to use

Compact, easy to use, different settings all practical and can be used easily. Also came with good CD which was useful for the auto set up to my PC to link to the camera.

None that I can think of.

Eveything good !!!

Nothing Bad

it's very easy to use and the picture quality is excellent

none as yet

Zoom, face recognition, preset programmes

no image stabiliser

images are good qualiy

if there are to much colour in the picture it fads in with the person.

has a good ergonomic design, feels nice to hold, battery life seems very good, very good quality pictures zoom is excellent, nice big LCD screen to view pictures, I like the camera but have to read instructions on CD

A little bulky, instruction manual not clear although yet to view the CD that came with the camera should be supplied with a case. lense cap a little flimsy but OK, not very fast seems a little slow when taking pictures.

easy to hold

Sturdy, godd screen, full featured

image stabalisation is poor

Good simple point and shoot with loads of zoom

Menu better with pictures? What does SP1 mean?

good pics,light

too slow at processing pic

not enough depth of f stops limiting depth of field control

Zoom and panorma settings

good for the price easy to use

A great camera, totally worth it!

can be a little big for some people's tastes.
