The FinePix S5000 Zoom ten times zoom
compact 'SLR-like' digital camera with a three megapixel SuperCCD HR (the
fourth generation SuperCCD sensor). Although not as sophisticated as the
S7000, the S5000 does still have a fairly considerable range of features including full manual exposure control, continuous shooting
(and auto focus) and CCD-RAW.
This neat, SLR-style camera will satisfy the most ambitious photography
enthusiast's appetite by enabling them to capture close-up, pin-sharp
distant subjects. Unlike the multitude of silver-bodied compacts on the
market, the designers of this camera did not focus their thoughts on the
interior of a handbag or shirt pocket when they conceived the FinePix
S5000 Zoom. Nothing has been compromised in the pursuit of optical and
imaging excellence - in fact, despite its ultra-compact dimensions, the
FinePix S5000 Zoom will spend little time in any bag.
Take it on safari and the10x zoom will truly encapsulate the detail of
Serengeti life. The FinePix S5000 Zoom's capacity for continuous shooting
also guarantees you can track classic sporting moments frame by frame.
It even achieves sharp focus on moving subjects, so memories of sporting
events will no longer be ruined by far-off, blurry action shots.
In addition to the spectacular zoom lens, the FinePix S5000 Zoom also
boasts Fujifilm's Super CCD HR technology, ensuring images are clearer
and sharper than cameras with a traditional CCD. Refined in-camera signal
processing has taken Super CCD HR's performance to a new level of sharpness
and image purity. What's more, the resulting 3.1 million effective and
6 million recorded pixels can be stored exactly as they were recorded,
using the camera's RAW mode.
There are other 10x optical zoom cameras available, but no other camera
can boast the photographic achievement of packing such a powerful sensor
and optical zoom into such a compact body. The FinePix S5000 Zoom's 10x
zoom lens is a real feat of optical engineering, and will quickly lay
bare the limitations of the widely-misunderstood 'digital' zoom.
With low power consumption - just one of the benefits offered by the
xD-Picture Card system - and spot metering to capture complex image
tones accurately, the FinePix S5000 Zoom is a technical all-rounder with
a lens that excels.
The FinePix S5000 Zoom looks like an SLR, weighs the same as a compact
camera and handles like a dream. Give it the chance to perform, and this
product will really show its worth. So take it out there, and let its
actions speak for themselves.
