Amazon.com Product Description
With its compact SLR-style body, manual controls, and powerful optics, the FujiFilm FinePix S7000 is a great choice for professional photographers or advanced amateurs. The S7000 combines a 6x optical zoom with a 6.3-megapixel Fujifilm Super CCD, which is capable of nearly doubling the number of effective pixels that are processed and stored. The S7000 also features movie mode with audio, dual memory slots (XD and CompactFlash), and USB 2.0 connectivity. Optics and Resolution
The FinePix S7000's Super CCD HR features a powerful f2.8 Fujinon 6x aspherical zoom lens that's equivalent to 35-210mm in 35mm photography and a smooth 3.2x digital zoom. The S7000 offers 6.3 effective megapixels (2848 x 2136 pixels), which can translate to 12 million recorded pixels (4048 x 3040 pixels). It also offers 2848 x 2136, 2016 x 1512, 1600 x 1200, and 1280 x 960 resolution modes. Effective pixels are the number of light sensitive pixels that are actually used by the camera's image sensor (the CCD) to record light. The term recorded pixels refers to the number of output pixels that are recorded to the memory card. FujiFilm's Super CCD
The Super CCD is a proprietary version of the CCD (charged coupling device) system of light-gathering diodes that captures images into pixels. The Super CCD utilizes larger, octagonal-shaped, light-gathering diodes called Picture Elements (pixels) that are laid out in a saw-tooth pattern. Super CCDs can capture more light information than ordinary CCDs. The FinePix S7000 features the fourth generation Super CCD HR (High Resolution), which is capable of nearly doubling the number of effective pixels that are processed and stored as additional detail in the recorded pixel file. Movie Mode and Voice Memo Feature
The S7000 captures VGA-quality MPEG video with audio at 640 x 480 pixels and 30 frames per second for up to 13 seconds. You can also capture 26 seconds of 320 x 240 pixel video with audio. The voice memo feature enables you to attach short audio recordings (up to 30 seconds) along with your captured photos to help you remember details. The voice memos are saved as WAV files and can be e-mailed along with image files. More Features
The S7000 has advanced exposure controls, including auto, programmed AE, aperture-priority AE, manual EV, and pre-programmed scene position modes. It also features a range of ISO-equivalent sensitivities, from 160-800 on auto to 200-1600 in manual mode. The S7000 also features an accurate, state-of-the-art, high-speed autofocus (AF) system that makes focusing quicker and more precise. The continuous autofocus feature automatically adjusts focus as the camera moves. The continuous shooting mode enables you to capture 5 frames per second at 12 MP (megapixel) mode, or up to 40 frames in either 1, 2, or 3 MP mode. Other features include: - 1.8-inch LCD monitor and a high-resolution .44-inch electronic viewfinder
- Built-in, pop-up flash with auto, red-eye reduction, forced flash, suppressed flash, and slow synchro modes
- Shutter speed: 15 seconds to 1/10,000 second
- Still image formats: JPEG and CCD RAW
- White balance modes: automatic, manual (fine, shade), fluorescent (daylight, warm white, and cool white), incandescent, and custom
- Exposure modes: automatic, manual, aperture priority, exposure compensation, program AE, and shutter priority auto mode.
Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on either CompactFlash (Type II) or XD memory cards, and a 16 MB XD card is included. The S7000 is also compatible with MicroDrives. When shooting images at 12 MP, the 16 MB card will store approximately 6 images at normal setting; at 6MP, you can store approximately 10 images. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via ultrafast USB 2.0, which means it can be connected to any USB-compatible Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software. When used with USB 1.1 connection, transfer will slow to USB 1.1 rate. Power and Size
The camera is powered by 4 AA batteries; alkaline batteries are included, but rechargeable NiMH batteries are recommended. It measures 4.8 by 3.2 by 3.8 inches and weighs 17.6 ounces (excluding batteries and media). What's In The Box
This package includes the FinePix S7000 digital camera, 16 MB XD memory card, 4 AA alkaline batteries, USB and A/V cables, lens cap, lens cap holder, and shoulder strap. The included CD-ROM features FinePix View 4.1 imaging software, Pixela VCD 2 Image Mixer for FinePix, QuickTime 5, and USB drivers for Windows and Mac.
Product Description
The S7000 utilizes Fujifilm's 4th Generation Super CCD HR with 6.3 million effective pixels and 12.3 million recorded pixels (4048x3040). The FinePix S7000 has a bright F2.8 Super EBC (Electron Beam Coating) Fujinon 6X (35-210mm) optical zoom lens with a 13-step aperture and high speed focusing. Up to 800 ISO at 1, 2, or 3 MegaPixels is possible with minimal electronic noise, and digital movies with sound at full VGA resolution (30 fps) is also possible. A new 235,000 pixel electronic viewfinder greatly improves viewfinder performance over previous models. Other features include: Dual media slots for xD Picture Card and MicroDrive, a manual focus/zooming adjustment lens ring, full manual exposure and aperture or shutter priority, AE scene modes, custom white balance, hot shoe mount. The S7000 supports CCD-RAW and JPEG file formats and connects to your computer via USB 2.

 WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE?????? March 18, 2008
Iowned my s7000 for about 3 1/2 yrs. Usage was lite 3-400 pics a yr. Camera was well taken care of never dropped or abused. All of a sudden for no reason it would not download to the 'puter. Sent it to Fuji, they said a board burned out, WANTED $170 to replace it, WOULD ONLY GUARANTEE FIX FOR 3 MONTHS......I amm buyin a Canon Rebel, and Fuji can eat their LACK OF CUSTOMER CARE>>>>>>>
another one on the well-deserved bandwagon June 22, 2007

The Fuji S7000 doesn't disappoint! I have used this camera for about 3-4 years and am still using it. If there is one camera you need to take with you in a hurry for any photography situation, this could be the one. The 6x optical zoom is more than competent for about 95 percent of most pictures, and if you need more then you can bump up the added 3.2x digital zoom (total 19x zoom). With this camera you can put in two memory cards at the same time (CF and xd), but of course it will read/write to only one at a time that you choose. But this gives you automatic backup, just switch to the other card if your primary card is full! Also, it shoots 30 fps video, so it's a good idea to get as big and as fast a memory card that you can. In the macro mode it can get as close as -inch, and I have taken many awesome close-ups! The built-in flash also has a rated range of nearly 28 feet at wide angle and 26 feet at telephoto! And it has a hot shoe so you can add a more powerful flash if you wish, if you needed it. I did have a disappointment with it in that because the lens is an external zoom (the lens zooms outward), it is not possible to attach a lens filter to the front of the lens. (When the lens is retracted, it is possible to attach a 55 mm filter, but then the camera won't operate because the lens can't pop out when the camera is turned on.) I believe Fuji sells an accessory tube that can be attached which is longer than the extended lens to allow the use of filters. (I was brought up on film SLRs, where every lens had a UV or haze filter to protect the lens.) Another quirk, which is a "good thing," is that this camera will shut itself down when battery power is low. It happened to me, but all I had to do was restart the camera, and it will continue to take pictures (and then shut down again). I know I am writing this review late, since the camera is already officially discontinued, but I happened to browse this site, and was impressed that the camera has such high rankings and such a loyal user base.
Reliable and a great value June 9, 2007

I've now taken this camera through four years of hard use and it has been terrific. It's been dragged through dusty back roads of Mexico and to snow covered New England mountain tops. Take the time to learn how to take advantage of the control it offers. It provides the power and flexibility of an SLR digital and the convienence of a point and shoot. The zoom and lens optics are impressive. I can highly recommend the S7000 for someone wanting a more serious digital at a great value.
A classic already! May 6, 2007

The fact that this Fuji Finepix S7000 came out nearly four years ago and is still so highly regarded give one an idea of its good qualities. It is ergonomic - the fingers and thumb find the zoom, AE lock, flash, exposure compensation, viewfinder/LCD toggle without much struggle. The viewfinder is excellent - detailed and has as much info as you could want.
It eats up standard AA batteries, so get some NiCads, NiMetalhydride, or some other type of rechargeable.But they are a good point - available everywhere. I have read that the early models produced have had the problem of the CF card running down the four AA batteries when the CF card is left in the camera between shoots. So, it is a good practice to remove the CF card after using it (it is menu selected as to using the CF or the Fuji xD card). Otherwise you will pick up the camera one day with the CF card in it and find the batteries drained.
Later production may not have this problem. The camera was designed to use the IBM mini disk card, not the standard CF card. But it does, with reservations. For example, I could not get video do upload to Picassa from the CF card. Photos uploaded OK.
I have been astounded at the quality of the images shot at the highest resolution, written to the CF or xD card as 12 megapixel images. The lens, even racked out to maximum telephoto is tack sharp and contrasty. I've used many cameras in my life and this is a favorite. For the amount of money you can get one of these new or used, you can't go wrong. It is a winner.
It also does 30 fps VGA video with the highest quality I've seen so far. Also, although it doesn't seem to have an image stabilization system, I have been amazed how little the images deteriorate due to low shutter speeds or normal camera shake. Maybe it uses a 'stealth' stabilization! Anyhow, I love it and have rediscovered the joy of photography through finding how much I could do with this beauty.
Recommended.
2 years and still going strong! December 10, 2006

I still love this camera. I actually have 3 other digital cameras (Canon, Panasonic, Disney) and this is the one I use the most. It has the best clarity and I'm in love with the video capture. It also has a "multiple shot" function to get those hard-to-get fast motion or low light pictures. I've had this camera for a little over 2 years now and not one problem whatsoever! (knock on wood) Great buy!
