Fujifilm FinePix V10 digital camera with 3-inch LCD display

Fuji today launched the five megapixel FinePix V10 digital camera. This compact camera has a huge 3-inch LCD display and features Real Photo Technology to filer graininess or noise from its digital pictures.

With Real Photo Technology, the FinePix V10 generates less noise than similar digital cameras and can therefore take pictures at light sensitivities as high as 1600 ISO at full resolution. Higher sensitivities open the door to a host of user benefits when combined with quicker shutter speeds. Those benefits include less shake and blur due to hand and subject movement as well as more detailed and natural-looking pictures taken in low-light environments.

With the FinePix V10 and Real Photo Technology users can keep the lights off during the "Happy Birthday" song and still capture a clear picture without disrupting the mood with a camera flash. To help determine whether or not to use flash for a particular scene, the FinePix V10 has a "Natural Light & With Flash" function. This mode shoots two images in succession, first without and then with flash. This convenient function provides an on-the-spot comparison that helps the user decide whether the FinePix V10 will produce the highest quality photo with flash or without.

The camera has a 3.4x optical zoom lens and features six scene modes. It will be available in March 2006 for $349.
