Overview — Fujifilm S1 Pro

The Fujifilm FinePix S1 Pro is an APS-C DSLR camera built on a polycarbonate and metal body derived from the Nikon N60 platform, weighing 880g and measuring 148 x 125 x 80 mm. It pairs a 6MP APS-C sensor with an ASIC image processor — specifically an Application Specific Integrated Circuit with an onboard RISC-CPU — to deliver a maximum resolution of 3040x2016 pixels. The ISO range runs from 320 to 1600, giving shooters a workable sensitivity spread for controlled lighting environments.

Autofocus is handled by a phase detection system with 5 points, including a center cross-type point, while the optical pentaprism viewfinder provides a traditional optical shooting experience. The camera accepts Nikon F-mount lenses, broadening its lens compatibility considerably. Color output is configurable through Standard, Custom, Adjustable Tone, and Adjustable Sharpness profiles.

A built-in pop-up flash is included alongside a hot shoe compatible with Nikon-compatible external flash units. Storage uses CompactFlash media, and USB connectivity is supported. The battery system is flexible, accommodating 4x AA cells in alkaline, NiMH, or NiCd formats, 2x CR123A lithium batteries, or a CR2025 coin cell, with an estimated 200–300 shots per set.

There is no video capability, no in-body image stabilization, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth. The rear LCD measures 2.0 inches at 200,000 dots resolution.

The camera body is constructed from polycarbonate and metal on a Nikon N60 base, with dimensions of 148 x 125 x 80 mm and a weight of 880g.

Shooting sensitivity spans ISO 320 to ISO 1600. The Nikon F-mount enables compatibility with F-mount lenses, and the autofocus system uses phase detection with 5 points, featuring a center cross-type primary point. A 2.0-inch fixed LCD with 200,000-dot resolution sits on the rear for image review.

Color output can be tailored using Standard, Custom, Adjustable Tone, and Adjustable Sharpness profiles. Burst shooting is supported at 1.5 fps. The S1 Pro accepts CompactFlash storage and connects to a computer via USB.

Power comes from a versatile battery configuration including 4x AA cells, 2x CR123A lithium, and a CR2025 coin cell, rated for approximately 200–300 shots.
