Fujifilm’s S1000fd and S8100fd Ultra-Zoom Pro-sumer Cameras Have 12x and 18x Zoom

These two high-end consumer cameras from Fujifilm both have fairly high zooms (12x on the S1000fd which is a 33mm-396mm equivalent, and 18x on the S8100fd, which is a 27mm-486mm equivalent), but they’ve got a few other interesting functions as well. The S1000fd succeeds the Fuji S700 by having 10-megapixels, that 12x zoom, facial detection,…

Fujifilm’s Advanced S100FS Drops the Megapixels to Pick Up Light

I’m a fan of Fujifilm’s “Most advanced” S100FS, even though its 11MP rating is less than the F series point and shoot they just released. Why? Because screw MP ratings! By dropping the MP count even further to 6, it can hit a light sensitivity of ISO 6400; drop it to 3MP and you’ve got…

Fujifilm’s F100fd Spec’d Out Point and Shoot has 12-megapixels, 2.7-inch LCD, 360-degree Facial Detection

The Fujifilm FinePix F100fd, which follows up the F40fd and F50fd with 12-megapixels, 360 degree facial detection, 2.7-inch LCD, dual image stabilization, red eye removal, dual-shot mode, and IR image transfer. It’s a lot of spec for the money. Available in March for $379. But with a lens and sensor likely smaller than the S100FS…

Fujifilm’s Z20fd Slim Cam In Fresh Colors, With Dual Blog Mode

Fujifilm has delivered an upgrade to its stylish Z-series lineup with the Z20fd. This 10-megapixel “ultra-glam” cam is available in four colors: Jet Black, Wasabi Green, Hot Pink and Ice Blue. Its face recognition tech catches 10 faces in a scene, and sets exposure. “Beam it” referrers to Fujifilm’s IrSimple technology that allows users to…

Fujifilm FinePix Z100fd, So Thin It’s Anorexic

Fujifilm has slimmed down its FinePix camera even more—now it’s just 19.8 mm thick—but the redesigned FinePix Z100fd still manages to cram 8 megapixels of imaging goodness into its slim form factor. It’s available in four color combinations, and even has a few smart features such as face detection technology that can identify 10 faces…

Fuji Gives In and Whores Megapixels Like Everyone Else?

A few months ago, I happily wrote a post about Fuji camera’s continuing decision to build sensors with fewer megapixels in exchange for better light sensitivity. Apparently, that philosophy has not kept up. Proof: Old generation Fuji point and shoots like the F30/31 are going for more than double the original retail price on eBay…

Fujifilm’s F50fd Mighty 12MP Slimcam Busting with High Tech

Here’s an interesting combo — 12MP in a slim camera body. That’s a bump from 8MP in the F40fd, which is weird because Fuji doesn’t often engage in these MP cock fights. Anyhow, the 7th generation CCD sensor is pared with a 3x zoom, face detection that can, like other Fuji’s equipped with, focus and…

Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd Slim and Colorful 7MP Fashion Cam

This is the most colorful and cheesy of Fuji’s camera blitz today. It’s a slim fashion phone that the press release claims, to “flirt with youth.” Never mind the generation Z target demographic, the Z10fd has 3x optical zoom, 2.5-inch lcd, slideshow mode, face detection tech with auto red eye removal, IR beaming, a blogging…

Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd has 8MP, 18x Zoom and 6400 ISO (Kinda)

I’ve never wanted a Fujifilm camera quite so badly as this S8000fd, the successor to the S6500fd, one of the original face recognition cams. First off, its been bumped from 6 to 8MP, still lower than the competition, but for the sake of better light sensitivity. Running in 4MP mode, more than enough for most…

Fujifilm FinePix F480 Cheapie and the Even Cheaper A920

Fuji has two new entry-level digicams coming down the line. First is the Finepix A920, sporting a 9-mp CCD, 4x zoom and a 2.7-inch screen all for $199.95. But if you need your camera to be a little more on the trim side than you’ll want to take a look at the F480. This guy…

Fujifilm IS Pro Digital SLR Camera Has Predator Vision

Forget the visible light spectrum, any camera can hack that. The Fujifilm IS Pro is the most recent camera in Fujifilm’s pro lineup that can shoot in the ultraviolet and infrared spectrums as well. Tooled for professional snoops, it also has such gumshoey features as one-touch black-and-white Live Image Preview, post capture face-detection that identifies…

Fujifilm’s S700 Packs 10x Zooming Muscle and “Smart” Flash

Fujifilm must have given their new S700 a dose of roids cause unlike most cameras which pack a measly 3x optical zoom, the S700 muscles past them with a whopping 10x zoom. It also has a unique flash system dubbed iFlash, which adjusts the strength of the flash according to your lighting environment, so people…

The Cameras of CES

Wedged between the biannual Photokina show last September and the annual PMA show this coming February, CES is not the best place to find new camera announcements. Absent from the action are heavyweights Canon, Nikon, and Pentax—and even some middleweights like Panasonic. But some of the scrappier little vendors made a few waves to fill…

First Grope: Fufifilm F40fd

Fujifilm announced the F40fd (at left) a few days before CES, and we got our first chance today to fondle it. The biggest improvement from its predecessor is the slimmer figure. We loved the old FinePix F31fd (right) that boasts a stratospheric ISO 3200 sensitivity (and actually looked good up to at least up to…

Fujifilm Accepts SD Card, Gravity, Round Earth

Fujifilm makes some great cameras. Their low-light performance and color vibrancy can be stunning. But every review I write has to have the caveat “requires dorky, expensive xD memory cards.” No more! Fujifilm and SD are now good buds. The new high-end F40fd (March 2007, $300) and entry-level A610 ($130) and A800 ($180) feature 2-in-1…

Fujifilm Finepix A610 and A800 Low-end Digicams

Designed for beginners and cheapskates, the A800 and A610 have 8- and 6-megapixel sensors and come at a price of $179 and $129, respectively. They both have 3x optical zoom, but the A800 has an ISO range of 100-800, whereas the A610 only has 100-400. Both have a 2.5-inch LCD display and support SD and…

Fujifilm FinePix F40fd 8-megapixel Digicam With Facial Recognition

Not only does the F40fd have an ISO up to 1600 (2000 in certain modes) in the body of a point-and-shoot, it’s got facial detection as well. (That’s what the fd in its name stands for.) The F40fd picks out up to 10 faces in the frame at once and does some fancy voodoo to…

Fujifilm Z5fd Looks Out For Bloggers

We’ve had our eye on these two for quite some time now, and today Fujifilm finally made them official. First up is the Z5fd, a slim point and shoot that attempts to be every bloggers best friend with a special “Blog Mode” feature that automatically reduces the size of images for easy posting to your…
