Versatility and functionality are key in this compact 12x superzoom camera. Easily portable due to its small size and light weight, making it an ideal choice for days out with the family, weekends away, day-to-day photography or more advanced requirements. We love it for landscape work.
The Fujifilm Finepix S1500 is designed to be both sophisticated and straightforward in its use. CCD Shift Image Stabilisation keeps your images free from blur and the Scene Recognition (SR AUTO) feature lets the camera set itself the optimum mode depending on the subject being photographed. This combined with an advanced feature set (including a great 2cm macro mode) gives a complete camera package that's a joy to use.

In this mode you can follow your suject at a wideangle setting where it is easy to track. Then when you're ready to shoot, the camera will instantly digitally zoom in (1.4x or 2x) and save the image.

SR AUTO & Face Detection
These functions combine to form a formidable feature resource. "Scene Recognition Auto" chooses what kind of picture is being taken from the following options:
Portrait
Landscape
Night
Macro
Night Portrait
Backlit Portrait
It can then set the exposure and focus accordingly. The great advantage here is that Face Detection and Red Eye Removal are also used to get the best possible results.

CCD Shift Image Stabilisation
Used in combination with high ISO sensitivity (1600 at full resolution, 6400 at 3MP), blur is drastically reduced. For action shots, there is also a continuous shooting mode (6 shots at 3.3fps up to 5MP, 15 shots st 7.5fps up to 2MP).
