FinePix S700 Compact SLR-Styled Digital Camera

FUJIFILM's new FinePix S700 camera is described as a compact "SLR-style" digital camera for advanced amateur photographers. This is a 7-MegaPixel camera with 10x optical zoom, 2.5" LCD plus electronic viewfinder (EVF) and ISO levels of up to ISO 1600 at full resolution.

The FinePix S700 also utilizes many of Fujifilm's unique and innovative technologies such as:

 

• Picture Stabilization mode : A selectable mode, Picture Stabilization uses the heightened sensitivity of the FinePix S700 and high-speed shutter settings to reduce blur caused by hand-shake or subject movement. It allows the camera to automatically choose the correct light sensitivity and optimal shutter speed to produce clear, blur-free images.
 
• i-Flash (Intelligent Flash) : i-Flash (Intelligent Flash) detects subtle lighting differences within a scene and then varies the flash intensity accordingly. It also leverages the high sensitivity of the FinePix S700 to enable the camera to use less flash, resulting in an image that displays pleasing, natural tones without a "washed-out" effect. And with an automatic pop-up flash, it's always ready when you need it.
 
• Dual Shot Mode :In this selectable mode, the FinePix S700 quickly shoots two images in rapid succession -- one with the flash and one without – and saves both. This convenient function lets the user perform a comparison at their convenience and select the most pleasing image.
 
• 14 Pre-programmed Scene Modes : The FinePix S700 features 14 pre-programmed scene modes that offer a one-touch setting for almost any situation, including: Portrait, Landscape, Sport, Night, Fireworks, Sunset, Snow, Beach, Museum, Party, Flower, Text.

The FinePix S700 also features a versatile xD/SD Media Compatible Slot that accepts both xD-Picture Cards™ and SecureDigital™ (SD) media cards, providing photographers with greater flexibility and more storage options.

The FinePix S700 digital camera ships in March 2007 and is priced at $249.95.
