Fujifilm FinePix S7000 Zoom Review
Software
Provided with the S7000 is a CD-ROM containing the camera's
USB driver, FinePix Viewer 4, Pixela ImageMixer VCD2 2.0 and RAW File
Converter 1.1 LE. All software is provided for both Windows and Mac.
FinePix Viewer
FinePix Viewer is a basic image management and browsing
application with image transfer support. You can have FinePix Viewer automatically
start when the camera is connected and transfer images to your computer.
You can use it to browse images as well as carry out rudimentary image
adjustment. Viewer does support the browsing of RAW files and low resolution
display but launches RAW File Converter for conversion to TIFF.

Pixela ImageMixer VCD2 2.0
Pixela ImageMixer VCD2 is an application for creating Video
CD's or CD-ROM's containing galleries of images. Optionally you can upgrade
ImageMixer to support DVD Video and DVD albums. In Video CD mode the application
will create a slideshow of images which can be played on any VCD compatible
disc player. In CD Album mode it will produce a CD-ROM which can be replayed
on a PC and contains higher resolution images.

RAW File Converter 1.1 LE
The only RAW conversion tool provided with the S7000 is
the disappointing 'RAW File Converter LE' which simply allows you to drag
and drop files onto it and click 'Convert all' to convert them into 8-bit
TIFF images. Fujifilm does have the more advanced RAW File Converter EX
but chooses to sell it as an option, this in my opinion is a mistake as
most other manufacturers provide much better RAW conversion support for
free with their cameras.

The Everyday Sling might just be the perfect pack for not carrying too much gear, combining comfort with Peak Design's signature modern style.
When the Fujifilm X-T2 arrived, it was more than just a modest upgrade to the already impressive X-T1. While the new X-T3 hasn't changed the overall design of the camera, this model is way more than an upgrade; rather, it's a quantum leap.
