Fujifilm released a new 12 megapixel digital camera - the FinePix F100fd. This digicam features 5x optical zoom (28 - 140mm equivalent) and a 2.7" LCD display. Other features include face detection 3.0, dual image stabilization, ISO12800 and wide dynamic range.
Dual Image Stabilization: Combines mechanical image
stabilization with the effects produced with higher ISO.
Continuous Shooting: Top/Final 3 at 1.7 frames per second
at full resolution and Top/Final 12 at 5 frames per second at 3-MegaPixels.
High Speed Playback: No waiting for high resolution
images to load during play back. The FinePix F100fd can display
images at full resolution at 10 frames per second.
Portrait Enhancer Mode: Mimicking a professional photo
studio setting, by using Face Detection and preset camera settings, Portrait
Enhancer minimizes fine lines and small skin blemishes for smooth, natural
looking portraits.
Dual Shot Mode: In this selectable mode,
the FinePix F100fd quickly shoots two images in rapid succession -
one with the flash and one without - and saves both. This convenient
function lets users perform a comparison at their convenience and select the
most pleasing image.
Special Scene: The FinePix F100fd has 16
pre-programmed scenes, including a special underwater scene mode for use
with a special underwater casing. Also, a Blog mode that automatically
reduces the size of copied images for easy posting to a blog, Web page or
email attachment.
Micro Thumbnail: A playback feature that allows for
viewing an index-style print on the LCD. The FinePix F100fd will
show up to 100 images in micro form, then the control buttons are used to
select specific images. An innovative wheel navigation dial makes it easy to
quickly find a single image by being able to jump to particular segments of
images in the time sequence.
IrSimple™: Infrared communication via IrSimple™
technology for fast, easy wireless image transfer to a compatible device.
xD / SD / SD-HC Compatible slot: The FinePix F100fd features
a "xD/SD Compatible slot" which accepts not only Fujifilm's
traditional xD-Picture Cards but also Secure Digital (SD) and SD-High
Capacity/SD-HC cards too.
It will be available in March for $379.
