Fujifilm Finepix A800 News Release Summary:
Expands A-Series Line-Up with Two New Models
CES 2007, Las Vegas , January 4, 2007 - It is now easier and
more affordable than ever for consumers to capture high-quality,
natural-looking photographs at the click of a button. FUJIFILM
U.S.A. Inc. today raised both the picture-taking and purchasing
power of first-time digital camera buyers with the launch of two
new models, the six-MegaPixel FinePix A610 and eight-MegaPixel
FinePix A800.
More than half of all digital camera purchases in 2006 were made
by first-time buyers. Almost 60% of these first-time purchases
totaled less than $200*. Designed specifically for the
first-time digital camera buyer or consumers seeking an
easy-to-operate upgrade to their current digital camera,
Fujifilm's A-Series models provide users with a choice of
digital cameras that offer top-notch image quality at
consumer-friendly price points.
The FinePix A800 is the first model in Fujifilm's A-Series
line-up to sport an eight-MegaPixel Super CCD Sensor and the
first to incorporate light sensitivities of up to ISO 800 at
full resolution. Borrowing a page from Fujifilm's more advanced
camera models, the FinePix A800 shoots at higher light
sensitivities with less noise than comparative models. This
results higher quality "natural light" photos and less blur in
images as the FinePix A800 matches these higher light
sensitivities with faster shutter speeds.
Fujifilm's A-Series digital cameras are among its most popular
models and the FinePix A610 should help continue this trend.
This camera has the same comfortable design as the FinePix A800
and is priced right for the first-time digital buyer. In a first
for Fujifilm's compact digital camera range, the FinePix A800
and A610 both feature a "xD/SD Compatible slot", which accepts
not only Fujifilm's traditional xD-Picture Cards, but also
Secure Digital (SD) cards.
In addition to the highlights previously referenced, Fujifilm's
new A-Series models offer the following attractive features:
1. New icon-based Graphic User Interface (GUI):
Fujifilm debuts its intuitive icon-based graphical user
interface on the FinePix A610 and FinePix A800. When users
switch shooting modes, scene positions or control settings, a
brief explanation of the setting is momentarily displayed on the
LCD screen, taking much of the guess work out of digital camera
operation.
2. Fujinon Lens: The 3x optical zoom lens for both
cameras was developed specifically for the A-Series by Fujinon,
a Fujifilm sister company and leading provider of
broadcast-grade television lenses.
3. Internal memory: When the xD Picture Card (sold
separately) is filled with images, users have a little extra
internal storage space on each camera to capture additional
pictures. A great storage fall-back option for the most active
picture-takers.
4. Mode Dial: The FinePix A800 is the first
A-Series camera to feature a mode dial, allowing users to easily
toggle between camera, playback and movie recording modes.
5. Single slot compatibility with both xD-Picture
Card and SD storage media
6. Large LCD: 2.5-inch LCD display with anti-glare
properties
7. Scene Modes: A wide range of scene modes
provides top-quality photos in a range of shooting conditions.
The FinePix A800 has 2 shooting modes and 17 scene positions and
A610 has 2 shooting modes and 14 scene positions.
The FinePix A610 and FinePix A800 will debut in March 2007 with
retail prices of $129 and $179, respectively.
