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.

another one on the well-deserved bandwagon.......2007-06-23

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 ½-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.......2007-06-09

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!.......2007-05-06

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!.......2006-12-10

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!

Awesome camera - if you love photography, you will love this!.......2006-10-12

This is an awesome camera. One of my great investment ever! I had bought it from Sears as closeout model for under $[...].

I own this camera for more than 1.5 years now - just never got a chance to write review on it. I am not a professional cameraman but I love taking pictures. And any give time, pictures taken from this camera just come out great. All of my friends & co-workers always envy my camera. I ended up buying the same camera for my brother too. ;)

When I originally bought the camera, 6.3MP was a lot for most of the people. Now you can even find 7MP camera. Most of the time I actually take picture with 3MP but they still 100 times better than regular 3-4MP cameras. I have taken some great skyline pictures in the night with this camera too. My advice will be to get 1GB SD memory card along with this camera so you don't need to worry about any space issue.

The only pictures I don't like with this camera are fast activity picture and the one mainly in low light. I just find the speed slow that it's not able to take very good pictures. For that I use, small point & shoot digital camera. But with this small disadvantage this is still an awesome camera and so I am giving 5 stars!

Product Description

ASUS always worked very hard in developing noise-reduction technologies and its efforts has now entered the optical drive sector. The ASUS QuieTrack Series successfully reduced noise without compromising performance by adopting AFFM and DDSSII. AFFM (Airflow Field Modification) is designed to change the uneven airflow field inside the drive because even pressure distribution leads to quieter and more stable operation. Yet the patented DDSSII (Double Dynamic Suspension System) stabilize the pick-up head, both horizontally and vertically, achieving more precise tracking while reducing vibration and noise caused by high-revolution motors. Moreover ASUS introduced the world's first online firmware update tool inside burning software. By using this intelligent tool, it will automatically remind you to update firmware if necessary. The result is ultimate reliability and performance for music compilation, data backups and smooth audio playback. And of course, ASUS patented technologies such as FlextraLink, FlextraSpeed, and DDSS II are also available in this top-quality optical drive to allow 32X/52X re/writing speeds.

Flexible surrounds.......2007-01-19

I am currently using a pair of these speakers as my Left and Right surrounds. The S300 is packed with features, and it is quite stylish too! I think that it is a really good deal for the price range that it is in. It contains no less than 4 drivers, and 3 different sound modes all controlled by handy toggle switch located on the bottom of the speaker (or the top in my case, as I have them mounted on stands that require them to be flipped vertically). The drivers consist of two 2.5 inch mid-range drivers, one 4 inch woofer, and a single 1 inch silk dome tweeter. The surround modes are called Dipole, Bipole, and Monopole. Monopole is basically a "direct" sound radiating mode, that can be used to beam sound right at the listening position. I find monopole useful for detailed multi-channel audio, such as Dolby Digital, DVD-Audio, and SACD. This is because in Monopole mode, the tweeter is turned on, and give the speakers better high range response. Bipole utilizes the 2.5" drivers, and makes the sound more dispursed (albeit, less so than Dipole mode). I generally use Monopole the most, but I often prefer Bipole when listening to Prologic II sources, such as when playing video games. It provides a nice enveloping sound. Dipole sends a lot of audio out the sides of the speakers and is very dispersed and non-directional sounding. It is an interesting option, but I find that I do not use it that often. I think that it is more useful in smaller rooms where you might be sitting closer to one speaker than the other. Overall, I really enjoy these speakers, and the sound that they provide. I have been using them for over a year now, and have not experienced any problems. If I had the extra room behind my listening position, I would gladly add another pair for surround backs and complete a 7.1 system.
