The Fuji Zoom Date 1000 is interesting in the world of film point and shoots for its zoom lens a Super EBC\u00a0Fujinon\u00a03.6x zoom lens; 28 ~ 100mm, f\/5.8 ~ 10.5; 6 components, 6 elements and also\u00a0the rear LCD and menu system.\u00a0 Although 28-100mm\u00a0is a nice range to have, the lens is slow and has a lot of\u00a0vignetting as seen in this image. \"Fuji_ZoomDate1000_March2014_014\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The menu is somewhat unique because it has a four-way controller with a central menu button much like you now find on numerous digital cameras, however it has relatively few modes compared to a modern camera but that’s okay because your supposed to take pictures with it not play with the menu.<\/p>\n

Ultimately the first try with\u00a0this camera was not particularly impressive.\u00a0 The images\u00a0lacked any\u00a0of that sort of pop that a few other\u00a0similar cameras have.\u00a0 For example the Canon Z90W\u00a0<\/a>or the Konica\u00a0Zup28W<\/a>\u00a0but at least it betters the Sigma 28 AF Zoom <\/a>which for all intents and purposes\u00a0produces images with\u00a0no corners.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
