It’s the most advanced camera announced by Fujifilm to date. An 11.1 mega-pixel camera body coupled with a very interested packaged lens. How does a focal range of 28 - 400mm with a F2.8 - F5.3 F-stop sound? This includes both an optical image stabilization and a true manual zoom ring.
Originally saw this posting on Imaging Resource, which will be providing live coverage of PMA 2008, so be sure to check in there for videos and up-to-date information on all the goodies that camera companies will be showing us. Here’s all the juicy details on the FinePix S100FS…
“The Fujifilm FinePix S100FS is based around a 2/3″ SuperCCD HR VIII image sensor with an 11.1 effective megapixel resolution and Fuji’s RP Processor III. The sensor is coupled to a Fujinon-branded F2.8 - F5.3 14.3x optical zoom lens that offers a 35mm-equivalent focal range from 28 - 400mm, and includes both optical image stabilization and a true manual zoom ring (rather than the “fly-by-wire” zooms found on most such digicams). Other features include a 2.5″ tilting LCD display, SD / SDHC / xD-Picture Card combo slot, Fuji’s face detection 2.0 with automatic red-eye removal, extended dynamic range control, and a selection of film simulation modes.”
