Is the fuji finepix S1000fd a good camera for a photography student?

I’ve ordered it but it has not yet arrived. I’ve been doing some research on-line, but nothing I’m reading has helped. It was priced at $249.95, which is the max I can pay.
Thanks so much for all your answers. I’ll go cancel my order!

No. If you’re a photography student, you either want an SLR or rangefinder, not a cheap coatpocket holiday and baby snapper. I hear there’s a new SLR digital around for 600$ with lens, but since you still can’t afford that, you’ll have to go with a film camera. Seriously, you can still scan film negatives for editing in Photoshop, so it works, and functions like a wide ISO range, manual focus, an f-stop control wheel, and true through-the-lense viewing are utterly indispensable. SLRs also take hotshoe flashes for extra illumination, and offer a bulb setting for ultra-long exposure. Good ones can cost as little as fifty dollars through the classifieds, and your school problably has a film processing lab if you can live with B&W photography (it’s fun!).

Also don’t be adverse to older SLR units. If it’s taken care of, the only real issue is the now-unavailable mercury batteries. Like phonographs, they’re a pretty set in stone technology, with improvements being better bundled optics, autofocusing, and better electronic guidance circuitry.
