Review: The Fujifilm FinePix S7000 combines prosumer features with a 6-megapixel Super CCD HR sensor and a 6X zoom lens. The camera won't fit in your pocket or win any beauty contests, and it lacks a few of the most advanced image-quality controls.

The camera won't fit in your pocket or win any beauty contests, and it lacks a few of the most advanced image-quality controls. But enthusiasts will like the FinePix S7000's versatility and good photos.Nearly all megazoom cameras are big and clunky-looking, and the black Fujifilm FinePix S7000, despite an extra helping of swoopy angles, is no real exception. But it's still more compact than a digital SLR, and its plastic body weighs a comfortable 1 pound, 5.1 ounces with batteries and media installed. The FinePix S7000's construction feels very sturdy, and its buttons and dials operate crisply. Small-handed folks, however, might have problems with the camera's right side, where the grip is unusually large and the controls are more widely spaced than average.

Summary: I have had this camera for over a year now. All I can say is ... wow! I love it! I have done professional photos with this camera and it is the best!!! I have enlarged up to a 16x20 and not had any quality loss. I haven't tried anything larger. I do normally use a hot shoe flash with a bracket to keep the pics from bleeding out. But, that is normal for any camera like this. Nothing abnormal there. I can say that even in dark situations, this camera will even take the there too! Myabe require just a tad more editing with Photoshop but that is not a problem. The camera life on this camera is awesome too!! And, the xd cards are very, very nice and compact. But,I do like the option of using the compact flash too! You can use all sorts of filters with this camera just by purchasing the attachment for it. Very inexpensive! The only thing I can say that I really wish it had was a pc sync for the flash. That is the one and only complaint I have about this camera. I have shot over 8000 pics with this camera since I got it and I can say that I don't regret the first time getting it!
A wonderful, wonderful buy for anyone that wants more than a point and shoot compact. I have large hands and this camera fits very comfortably in my hands without "getting lost".
Get the camera. Buy an extended warranty since all these things are super sensitive and can damage easily. Then go shoot pics of everything in site! I think you will be surprised and amazed!
BTW..I shot a friends' wedding with this camera. She also had someone else shooting medium format. My pics are much, much clearer than his were!
