I bought the S7000 as new and still boxed with every acessory included WOW! what a good replacement for My ageing 35mmSLR forget going to DSLR this model has every thing that one could want plus that 1.7" Super CDD sensor (6.3 million pixel) is still excellent plus 12 million on high selection with all the SLR type features "To Many To List" its a modern classic of digital cameras I would recommend The S7000 to any one as the results are excellent also the body shape that fits the hands with easy reach controls (reminding Me of a Pentax ZIP that I once had)I dont think I would be without The S7000- a remarkable camera

I bought a Fuji Finepix S7000 some years ago to update my Fuji S602, I personally found it was a step backwards in terms of image quality and versatility.
I sold the S7000 on ebay and kept the S602 (which despite being about 8 or 9 years old now still works perfectly and delivers great pictures). I bought a S9500 when it came out and found it significantly superior to the S7000. I can only surmise that the S7000 was brought out by Fuji as a stop gap.

The Fuji Finepix S7000 has poor shutter speed. Its not great for moving objects.

I have had the Fuji finepix for about 3.5 years now and just bought a Sony a200 DSLR - I will not get rid of the fuji as it has a few advantages that I will call on from time to tiem. Reliable, good results.

Any one thinking of taking up photography should master this camera, it takes less than a month using it everyday. Then if you want to upgrade to DSLR, dont sell it, its worth more than you could ever get for it Which other camera can flash sync at 10000th of a sec? You can FREEZE FRAME AN ELECTRIC FAN AT FULL SPEED
So solid the construction.
Easily constructed a slide copier to fit the camera barrel tube.
Barrel tube with UV filter gives absolute protection to lens barrel and optics.
worth having a spare put by, just incase you drop yours

This is the best camera in my estimation that Fuji has ever made, I have also owned the Fuji S2 Pro and the S7000 out performes it easily..out of ten...I rate the camera a good 10 easy... Highly Recommended. I have owned this Fuji S7000 when it came out 4.5 years ago and its the most reliable and easy to use Camera I have ever owned, I also own a Canon 40D and the Fuji is just as good as it and in some instance its Better, Photography is easy and its far easier to carry around than a Bulky SLR D Camera Kit. I recently took it to the USA and went to an airshow whilst there, the photographs including moving aircraft are really stunning and sharp... Im well happy with it, just wish Fuji would come uo with a decent replacement, so far it hasnt... so the Trusty S7000 Lives on..Fuji at its best, just buy one, forget all the other Fujis around the same price, they dont even come close.

I had a Fuji S602 zoom a few years ago, and took many great photos with it and printed plenty of colourful sharp A4 prints with it.
I sold it to upgrade to a digital SLR, and bought a Canon 300d,which produced great images, but I found it heavy,compared to my Fuji.
I thought the Fuji colours were better than the Canon,and the prints at A4,were just as good,in my opinion.
I Sold the Canon and bought a Nikon D40,which again,produced great photoes,but when I saw a Fuji S7000 on Ebay,at a great price,I jumped at it,and now often take it,when I just don't fancy the weight of the D40 kit,
It still has a small 1.8in screen,but is easy to use,and can output great 12mp prints,and is just great to use.
If it had a more modern 12x zoom lens,offering 28mm at the wide angle end,it would be more than a match for today's super-zooms,in my view.
Still a 6x zoom is still very useful,and plenty for 95% of my pictures,
The S7000 still makes a great second hand buy,and can be found at reasonable prices on Ebay.

Perfect camera to start your interest and learn the basics with. But for true pros, 6MP will probably not be enough!

The Fuji Finepix S7000 is a good camera overall.

I truly miss using my Fuji S7000. I can not wait for it to be fixed so I can resume my photography with it. I am currently borrowing a camera, and am not happy with it. I have taken my camera with me everywhere from overseas to back in the states. I recommend this camera to any serious photographer.

This single camera has replaced my full scales of 35mm Canon gear (7x prime lenses + 2x zooms). Used pretty much evenly between studio and daylight, the Fuji Finepix S7000 digital SLR camera is more compact, lighter and less complicated than what I've been using before. Instead of carrying a compact everywhere, I carry this. It's been up and down mountains and rock faces, and once took a drop of about 15" straight onto concrete. Chipped but works fine.

The chromatic aberration is a pain. I ONLY get it close up to the edge of rock faces that are framed by the sky - a thick blue line, which is problematic when taking climbing pictures.

The self-timer requires fiddly "two click" setting before every shot. This can be a little awkward when tripod mounted in a countryside environment (hills, cliffs) and in confined spaces.

Aperture settings in a studio don't really matter so much - I just shoot a test, inspect and adjust settings. Delete all tests afterwards...

Recently, I've noticed that the White Balance in studio varies, usually but not always according to exposure. In the past week, the camera has lost it's settings when switched off, so I'm assuming that there's an internal lithium battery that is now run down. The White Balance problem may well be a result of this, if this is the case.

Aside from resolution, why would I ever need a "better" camera? Photography is my job, and I don't like cameras, especially the ones with more features than what is really needed. This camera has it all right - features are easily disabled and left that way. I bought this camera because of its studio compatibility, and I've had it since the first week that it was released in the UK: I'd only want to replace it with another identical model.

Imagine looking at a 250 dpi pic (it's actual dpi) on your computer in photoshop, and then bumping up it's resolution to 500 dpi. You have achieved what the 12MP feature does on this camera, it fills in the blanks (interpolates). That said, I've taken over 2,500 pics with this camera and the manual features are superb, as is the picture quality. I have dropped it on a hard floor, then picked it up and it's still working. This is the Volvo of digital prosumer cameras, it's a bit dated and old now, but a fantastic camera none the less.

I bought this Fuji Finepix S7000 digital camera for 8 months now, and I have taken more than 3000 photos with it. I'm really pleased with the performance, functions and the image quality produced from FUJI S7000. In terms of the dollar/quality, it's the best of high end consumer class DC. Other Digital camera in it's league such as F828, A1,CP5700 and FZ20 they are about 10-40% more cost than S7000.
