Top Fujifilm Finepix S6000fd Camera Reviews
Digital Camera Info wrote a review of the
Fujifilm Finepix S6000fd
and said: "Sure, the Sony is a bit overpriced but the Fujifilm
may be slightly underpriced too. It has a 6.3-megapixel Super
CCD, a 10.7x optical zoom lens, and face recognition technology
that is fast and useful. At a time when the prices of low-end
DSLRs are falling to $599 or so, the Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd is
still a good price because it already has a lens."
Fujifilm Finepix S6000fd News Release Summary:
New Breakthrough Works with Other Real Photo Technology Features
to Produce Better Pictures
Valhalla, NY, July 12, 2006 - Fujifilm continues to make
top-quality picture-taking a snap for consumers with today's
introduction of the SLR-styled FinePix S6000fd, the first
digital camera in Fujifilm's line-up with the company's new Face
Detection Technology.
Face Detection Technology operates exactly as its name implies,
identifying up to 10 faces in a framed scene. Once faces are
identified and prioritized, the 6.3 MegaPixel FinePix S6000fd
adjusts its focus and exposure accordingly to ensure the
sharpness and clarity of human subjects in the picture,
regardless of background. And since it is hardware rather than
software based, Fujifilm's Face Detection Technology works in as
little as 0.05 seconds, faster than similar in-camera detection
systems currently on the market or soon to be available. Quicker
operation reduces the likelihood of missed or blurry photos,
frustrations often associated with digital photography.
Face Detection Technology is the latest addition to Fujifilm's
suite of Real Photo Technology digital camera components that
work collaboratively on the FinePix S6000fd to produce the best
possible photographs. One of those components is i-Flash, the
intelligent flash system introduced by Fujifilm earlier this
year on the FinePix F30 compact digicam. The system reads scene
conditions and adjusts its flash power output and exposure
automatically, based on gathered information. The results are
backgrounds with finer detail and sharp, accurate subjects
without the 'washed out' look that often accompanies flash
photography. Together, the Face Detection and i-Flash
technologies will produce photographs with prominent subjects
exhibiting pleasing, natural tones.
Like the FinePix F30, the FinePix S6000fd has a full-resolution
ISO equivalency of 3200, a rarity in consumer-level digicams.
Such high light sensitivities allow for faster shutter speeds,
which reduce blurring caused by both camera shake and subject
movement. This marriage of higher sensitivities with a faster
shutter is the basis for Fujifilm's Picture Stabilization,
another feature found on the FinePix S6000fd. The easy-to-access
feature (selectable on the mode dial) enables the FinePix
S6000fd to automatically choose the correct light sensitivity
and best-matching shutter speed for the scene.
Other helpful features found on the FinePix S6000fd for
top-quality picture-taking include:
Dual Shot Mode: In this mode the FinePix S6000fd quickly shoots
two images in succession -- one with and one without the flash
-- saving both. This convenient function lets the user perform
an on-the-spot picture comparison and decide which photo is the
most pleasing.
The FinePix S6000fd is equipped with a 28-300mm Fujinon 10.7X
optical zoom lens with full manual control via the lens barrel.
This high-quality Fujinon lens configuration offers tremendous
flexibility for either zoom or wide- angle shots – almost like
having two lenses in one, and without the risk of dust
accumulation that comes with having to change lenses.
Due to come to market in September, the FinePix S6000fd will
sell at a price of $499.95.
