The Fuji S7000 has a bundle of standard features such as 16MB memory card, high ISO (or light sensitivity) range, and a USB port. In addition, the model offers a powerful movie mode that lets you record moving images at up to 30 frames per second, which is the same frame rate as standard video. While there are FinePix models with better resolution, the S7000 takes solid pictures and is great for everyday use.

The Fuji S7000 comes with a sleek body design and ergonomic feel, so it fits comfortably in your hand. In 12 megapixel mode, the camera interpolates images for respectable resolution. Of course, almost all cameras experience some degree of image degradation or pixelation in digital zoom mode, since the CCD is forced to compensate for missing data.
