Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd Digital Camera

The FinePix S1000fd is the world’s smallest digital camera with a 12x optical zoom. This camera is 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 for greater range and flexibility, Fujifilm’s proprietary Face Detection Technology with Automatic Red Eye Removal, and a brand new Panoramic 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.

Rounding out the FinePix S1000fd’s powerful feature set is a large 2.7″ high-resolution LCD plus electronic viewfinder and ISO levels of up to ISO 1600 at full resolution and ISO 3200 at 3 MegaPixel resolution.
