Japanese brand Fuji is a known pioneer for cameras. That is why it isn’t surprising that the brand is considered as one of the first camera manufacturers that shifted to creating digital cameras. As an authority to the world of photography, Fuji has been offering a lot of digital camera models for a long time.
It’s the first camera in its class that is environmentally sealed. While some models can only save medium quality JPEG, the Pentax K200D allows high quality JPEG and RAW saving at the same time (RAW+).
The build of the camera is quite good, well built even though it’s light. My hands are average in size and I’m six feet tall, and the camera fits well in my hands. I didn’t like that it had a battery grip, so I replaced it with an Opteka/Hakuba grip and now it’s great. If you like neck straps then this one isn’t for you.
People who do not want to get into the hassles of manually setting up their cameras would also love the Fuji S1000FD. Its automatic settings would let users shoot photos without bothering with the settings. They just have to click the Auto mode and they will be good to go.
Besides the normal LCD screen, there is another status screen that comes with the Digital Rebel. In the 30D model, this screen was at the top of the digital camera.
It is an APS-C sensor. I have the camera for a few days now and I must say that I’m quite pleased by it. From what I’ve read on the Internet, its kit lens isn’t as bad as those of other cameras and I’ve “played” with it for a few days. The autofocus system is pretty quick, though I did experience slight delays at low light.
The Fuji S1000FD is compatible with both XD and SD cards so users need not worry. With this Fuji model, users could easily upgrade their SD and XD cards to higher ranges.
I’ve tried using it in low-light situations, at night, and I got pretty good results. So, for now, I’m very pleased with my choice for my first DSLR.
