Fujifilm Launches Six New Digicams

Fujifilm has just launched six new digital cameras spanning various categories that make up the digital camera market today.

Among the new launches is Fujifilm's new J-series of affordable digital cameras. Housed in a compact body just 19mm thick, the FinePix J10 incorporates an 8.2 megapixel CCD sensor, a 2.5" LCD and a 3x Fujinon optical zoom lens. The FinePix J50 takes things a step further, adding a high resolution 2.7", 230K pixel LCD and Fujinon 5x optical zoom that provides a 37-185mm equivalent focal length range. Despite the larger zoom and screen, the J50's compact design makes it only 23mm thick.

The FinePix S100FS (Film Simulation) is claimed to be Fujifilm’s most advanced D-SLR-styled camera to date. It provides an all-in-one solution for photo enthusiasts and advanced amateur photographers seeking the manual controls and functionality of a D-SLR – but without the bulk or expense of additional lenses and accessories.

The S100FS is equipped with a 14.3x Fujinon manual zoom lens, Fujifilm's 8th generation 2/3" Super CCD sensor with 11 megapixels, third generation RP III processor, 2.5" tiltable LCD and ISO capabilities of up to ISO 6400 (at 6MP) and ISO 10,000 at 3 megapixels.

Photographers will appreciate the ease of use and shooting versatility offered by Optical Image Stabilization and high sensitivity anti-blur systems, Face Detection 2.0 Technology with automatic red-eye removal, and film simulation modes.

The FinePix F100fd boasts a 2.7" high-resolution 230,000 pixel wide angle view LCD. It offers Wide Dynamic Range, Dual Image Stabilization, Face Detection 3.0 Technology with automatic red-eye removal and ISO settings of up to ISO 12800. The F100fd offers full photographic control (Aperture and Shutter Priority modes) in addition to automatic functions.

All these cameras will be available from UK retailers in March 2008. Pricing will be announced close to the date of the launch.
