Fujifilm launches the FinePix S6500fd Camera

Fujifilm unveiled the Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd, featuring LSI based new Face Detection technology, for users who want the shooting options of a DSLR with the ease of use traditionally found in compact digital cameras. With Fujifilm’s 6th generation 6 Megapixel Super CCD and Real Photo Processor II, achieving ISO 3200 sensitivity at full resolution, the Fujifilm S6500fd delivers stunning photographs, with no fuss. The camera’s High-Speed Shooting Mode produces high-speed focusing and impressive shutter lag of 0.035 seconds which beats most of digital SLR cameras. Fujifilm’s Face Detection technology means the Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd can identify up to ten faces in a frame and automatically optimize settings for perfectly sharp, natural looking people pictures. Wherever a face appears in the frame, irrespective of portrait or landscape composition, the Fujifilm S6500fd camera recognizes it as the primary subject. It sets focus and exposure leaving the person behind the camera to concentrate on getting the best poses from their subjects. In an camera industry first Fujifilm has built LSI Face Detection that enables the camera to capture those all-important moments with split second accuracy. In playback Face Detection can be used to maintain faces as the key focus of a photo when cropping or zooming in. The Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd also utilises Fujifilm’s Intelligent Flash system to automatically determine flash power output and exposure, for flash photography that achieves both natural looking skin tones and clear background exposure. Pricing and availability is unknown as of now. [/TAGS]
