Fujifilm announces 18x ultra zoom camera for aspiring photo enthusiasts Mississauga, ON, January 24, 2008 – FUJIFILM Canada Inc. today announced the launch of the long zoom, SLR-styled FinePix S8100fd digital camera. Perfect for photographers seeking a step-up digital camera, Fujifilm’s FinePix S8100fd combines user-friendliness with long-zoom flexibility and high speed shooting modes that are rare at the consumer level and perfect for great action shots. It also comes with a 2 Year Canadian Manufacturer’s Warranty. "This is a work-horse camera for photographers who want the convenience of a DSLR-style model, a powerful zoom, high-speed continuous shooting and the ease of use that is often reserved for more compact models," said Greg Poole, VP, Imaging Division, FUJIFILM Canada Inc. "The bonus that comes with the S8100fd is the set of features made possible by Fujifilm’s advances in Face Detection and Dual Image Stabilization technology." Continuing on the success of the wide-angle, long zoom FinePix S8000fd, the 10-MegaPixel FinePix S8100fd integrates a Fujinon 18x Wide Angle Optical Zoom fixed lens, which offers a 27mm-486mm equivalent and allows the user to achieve greater shooting range than ever before. The sealed, fixed-lens system prevents dust contamination and eliminates the need to carry additional zoom or wide angle lenses, making it an easy-to-use, affordable alternative to the complex D-SLR system. Features Born From Face Detection Fujifilm’s innovative face detection technology, recognized with a 2007 ‘Best of What’s New Award’ from Popular Science Magazine, has enabled a number of advanced features that any consumer photographer will enjoy. Face Detection operates by identifying and prioritizing up to 10 faces in a framed scene and then adjusting the focus and exposure accordingly to ensure the sharpness and clarity of human subjects in the picture, regardless of background. After the shot is captured the new automatic Red Eye Removal feature instantly checks each detected face for red eye and if it’s found, corrects it in the camera automatically, saving the time-consuming process of fixing it in your PC after the image is downloaded. A new Instant Zoom function captures moving subjects at high zoom settings. After zooming on a subject, a single button gives an additional 1.4x or 2x digital zoom at the center focus region of the frame. Zoom Bracketing performs a similar action using Fujifilm’s face detection technology to lock its zoom action on a subject’s face automatically as it enters the shot. Like the FinePix S8000fd, the FinePix S8100fd features Fujifilm’s Dual Image Stabilization, a marriage of CCD shift Image Stabilization, with Fujifilm’s Picture Stabilization Technology, which uses fast shutter speeds and ISO levels of up to ISO 6400 (at 5 MegaPixels) for total anti-blur protection. As a result, an increase in clarity and sharpness is achieved, even in low light conditions. A Continuous Shooting Mode makes it easy to shoot moving subjects like pets and kids. This new feature allows high-speed shooting of up to 33 frames at 13.5 frames per second (at 3 megapixels; 6.8 frames per second at 5 megapixels). And with high speed playback at 10 frames per second you can be sure you’ve captured all of the action. Other helpful features found on the FinePix S8100fd for top-quality picture-taking include:
The FinePix S8100fd will debut in April 2008 at a MSRP of CDN$399.99 and comes with a 2 Year Canadian Manufacturer’s Warranty. :: more information about Fuji :: back to the news overview |
