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+).
Like a preview from Popular Photography read, this camera is the mixture of a SLR with a tank. It’s very strong and firmly built, and I must admit that I did get the impression that some Canon and Nikon devices were a bit flimsy.
Even though some people consider that AA batteries are a downside, I believe this is an advantage. And good 2500mh AA batteries are very cheap and you can find them at every store around, so you don’t have to worry about running out of juice.
The model supports any Pentax lens that was ever made. In-body stabilization - it’s a very neat feature. It translates to the lenses you buy and not once did it save my shots.
I prefer the way that the Rebel has the status screen. The screen at the back allows you to see all the settings in just one look. Also, the viewfinder is brighter and bigger than the Digital Rebel one.
The burst rate is of 4 RAWs or JPEG, but it’s ok for the moment. When I’ll have a memory card with a lot of memory I’ll see if it’s an inconvenience for me. I find the grip and handling very comfortable. Also the menu is pretty clear and easy to understand. The manual is huge and explains everything you need to know about the device’s features.
Unlike with other digital cameras, photographers do not need to change their camera’s lens for different kinds of photography. They can still make great pictures using the set lens of the Fuji S1000FD. The sensor chip of this Fuji S1000FD model is also guaranteed to be dust-free.
