The Independent - April 2008
"Bond enthusiasts might like to know Fujifilm has designed the world's smallest SLR-style digital camera. The new panorama shooting mode of the Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd makes it easy to create impressive shots of scenery. Suited to advanced amateur photographers, the camera features a versatile Fujinon 12x optical zoom, face detection technology with automatic red-eye removal, high speed shooting and 14 pre-programmed scene modes."
Sunday Times Travel - April 2008
"One of the many reasons to like Fuji's FinePix S1000fd is its size: it's smaller than a traditional SLR, but bigger and easier to handle than a compact digital. Another is the 12x optical zoom (equivalent to 33mm-396mm). The 10m pixels and huge LCD monitor are the icing on the cake."
London Lite - April 2008
"Fuji's FinePix S1000fd may not look or feel small, until you realise it comes with a 12x optical zoom lens making it the smallest to have such zoom features. Normally this kind of lens would only be found on more professional SLR cameras. But it has a lens with a staggering range of between 33-396mm and it sticks out less then the camera's handgrip."
IT Reviews - May 2008
"For the size and price the Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd is a good option for those who are interested in branching out from fully automated compact cameras to something with more manual settings. It's responsive and flexible enough to cope with trickier shooting scenarios, but also easy enough to kick back into auto mode with good results if you're just after snapshots."
Real Travel - No.26
"This small and light ten-megapixel camera is pretty simple to get to grips with and boasts an impressive zoom for getting up close and personal with your subject matter. I particularly liked the panoramic shooting mode that allows you to take panoramic shots up to three frames wide with ease - useful for capturing those grand scenes. Also good for travellers who may not always have access to power is the fact that it runs on four AA batteries and the it can hold both xD and SD memory cards."
House Beautiful - October 2008
"This lightweight camera gives great results. It has it all: 12x optical zoom, 10 megapixels, face detection, panoramic mode and red-eye removal."
