Fujifilm Press Release Excerpt:
Valhalla, NY, February 8, 2005 -
Today, Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc., unveiled the FinePix F10, a
6.3 MegaPixel Super CCD HR digital camera with Fujifilm's new
Real Photo Technology for improved picture taking in low
light situations, more efficient power consumption and faster
overall operation.
Real Photo Technology, the latest imaging innovation from Fujifilm,
is a synergy of three key devices: a sharp Fujinon 3x optical
zoom lens, Fujifilm's 5th generation Super CCD sensor and the
newly developed RP Processor, which possesses all of the advance
signal-processing know-how of the professional FinePix S3 Pro
digital SLR camera. With Real Photo Technology users of the
FinePix F10 can capture beautiful digital images with very
little noise at ISO settings all the way up to 1600 at full
resolution. This allows the photographer to shoot without a
flash in the "Natural Light" scene position, preserving mood and
reducing red-eye. Real Photo Technology also allows for higher
shutter speeds that minimize blurriness in photos at even the
highest ISO settings.
This combination of devices in the FinePix F10, particularly the
sensor and processor, has also led to advances in power
consumption and operating speed. According to research conducted
for Fujifilm U.S.A., consumers are searching for digital cameras
that run more efficiently, giving them more pictures per battery
charge. The FinePix F10 answers these requests, taking 500
pictures per single, full charge of its lithium ion battery*.
In addition, the FinePix F10 is fast - very fast, in fact -- on par
with the industry-leading Fujifilm
FinePix E550. It goes
from off to ready-to-shoot in a blink of an eye: a mere 1.3
seconds. The FinePix F10 also takes the "lag" out of shutter
lag, firing a scant 1/100th second after the auto exposure/auto
focus locks. For even faster operation, a High-Speed Shooting
mode speeds up the exposure and focusing processes, making the
capture of moving subjects a snap. This operating speed instills
confidence that even the most unexpected moments will be saved
by the user in famous Fujifilm color.
Ron Gazzola, Marketing Manager, Digital Devices Division, Fuji
Photo Film U.S.A., Inc., observed, "These performance numbers
are just what consumers want to hear and are possible due to yet
another breakthrough technology from Fujifilm. As consumers
begin to search for their second or third generation digital
camera, they've added an important factor to the purchase
equation - experience. This experience is telling them that
while image quality and camera ergonomics are important, other
details play a big role in their overall satisfaction. Fujifilm,
through its recent research of digital photographers and years
in the camera business, has identified these details and is
addressing them with new advances like Real Photo Technology."
The FinePix F10 has a sizable LCD (2.5 inches), great for sharing
just-taken pictures with friends or family. LCDs were designed
chiefly for the review of photos, but they have increasingly
become the primary scene-framing tool of many consumers -- even
though many lament over their performance in low-light
situations. To combat this and improve low-light performance,
the LCD of the FinePix F10 has a gain-up function that makes the
subject easier to see, a great feature for a camera with a LCD
as its primary framing feature.
