Fujifilm launches first Super CCD HR digital camera with 12 million
pixel image output
Building on the success and with all the features of the FinePix S602 Zoom, the FinePix S7000 Zoom's Super
CCD HR sensor produces an exceptional 6 million effective pixel (12 million
recorded pixel) output.
Even before Fujifilm's Super CCD signal processing technology takes control
of the image, photographs taken with this camera will possess a class-leading
6 million pixels. After the Super CCD HR has processed the file, the image
output is an impressive 12 million pixels - allowing the user to enlarge
to 10" x 15", representing gallery-size print dimensions.
This camera offers a serious digital alternative to a film SLR. A compact
and ergonomic tool for professional photographers, the FinePix S7000 Zoom
also represents an irresistible package for the ambitiously minded newcomer
to digital photography. If you have a talent for photography, the last
thing you need is to be constrained by your camera.
The FinePix S7000 Zoom's manual modes enable you to exert creative control
over aperture, focusing shutter speed and flash. This, combined with the
Super EBC 6x optical Fujinon lens, means that even the most ambitious
images can become a reality. If you stop at nothing in pursuit of quality,
the FinePix S7000 Zoom's RAW mode stores images exactly as they were recorded,
pixel by pixel, every time.
Fujifilm's Super CCD HR technology also delivers the renowned Fujifilm
colour reproduction, and the sensitive octagonal diodes ensure that images
are awash with accurate detail, even in low-light situations.
The FinePix S7000 Zoom offers everything the serious user wants, with
a cable release socket, external flash and truly outstanding Super EBC
optics.
The camera also boasts VGA digital movie mode, recording at 30 frames
per second (fps), with sound. An added bonus is the dual card slot, enabling
the use of both xD-Picture Card™ and CompactFlash™/IBM Microdrive™
cards, a combination of formats that will soon be capable of carrying
several gigabytes of memory.
