A new model in the Finepix range not only emulates its predecessor but adds a few extra tricks, it has been suggested.

Imaging-resource. com states that the Fujifilm FinePix Z200fd is set to replace the Fujifilm FinePix Z100fd and comes equipped with a range of improved specifications that build on the older model.

The camera is said to be around four grams lighter than the Fujifilm FinePix Z100fd and has boosted the level of digital zoom strength from 5.1x to 5.7x.

“The Fujifilm FinePix Z200fd is a pretty straightforward update to the Z100, with the most notable difference being a change of imager,” the site states.

It adds the old eight-megapixel CCD sensor has been replaced by a ten-megapixel type.

However, the Fujifilm FinePix Z100fd does have a larger memory than the new model and the camera is also available in a number of colours that include black, pink, brown and silver.

The Fujifilm Finepix F50fd has proved to be a popular brand for the manufacturer and a new review has explored why.

In an article for Digital Camera Reviews, it is noted that the Fujifilm Finepix F50fd, which is available in steel and black finish, offers a “whomping” 12-megapixel resolution and builds on the success of previous models in the range.

The reviewer states that the performance of the camera in low light environments is impressive and states that the character has improved on previous editions without losing the manual controls that had previously been advantageous.

Along with the 12-megapixel resolution, the camera comes with a 2.7-inch LCD screen and Face Detection 2 technology, as well as image stabilisation and a range of other modes.

“The chief advantages of the Fujifilm Finepix F50fd Pocket Digital Camera are the shutter and aperture priority modes, a good image stabilisation mode and an exceptional face determination aspect,” the site concludes.

The Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd is not only strong on performance but is available at a bargain price, according to a new review.

In an article for PC World, Paul Jasper puts the compact digital camera to the test and takes the camera on a spring trip to the mountains to get the most out of the model.

He states that the wide angle lens turned out to be “excellent for sweeping mountain backdrops” and praised the telephoto lens for allowing him to focus on smaller more intricate details.

However, he notes the Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd impresses in a number of wide ranging areas and adds that the “reasonable price” makes it even more attractive.

“It offers plenty of automated assistance, but lets you tweak settings manually when necessary. It makes a good choice for anyone seeking a single camera for all occasions,” he concludes.

The Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd has a ten-million pixel resolution, 18x optical zoom and a 2.5-inch LCD screen.

The new Fujifilm Finepix S8100fd digital camera has been reviewed by a photography website and been described as worth the money spent on it.

Giving a digital SRL feel to users and boasting an 18x optical zoom which gives a greater range than before, the camera as been described as “definitely” an affordable device, PhotoBlorge said.

“The Fujifilm Finepix S8100fd is a point-and-shoot digital camera designed for advanced photo hobbyists who are looking for an SLR-styled point-and-shoot snapper,” the site said.

It added that the ten-megapixel camera can give snappers all options from telephoto pictures to true wide angle shots in one compact unit.

TrustedReviews reports that the Fujifilm Finepix S8100fd is the follow-up to last year’s
S8000fd model, while it also boasts an image stabilisation device to reduce camera shake and a full range of exposure options.

Fujifilm has announced two new additions to its range of digital cameras, according to the Trusted Reviews website.

The consumer electronics news provider states that the firm will add to its entry-level A-series as well as putting another model in the FinePix stable.

For the A-series camera, consumers will be offered the eight-megapixel A850 and is suggested by the site to be one that could prove a popular choice for the beginners.

However, the ten-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix Z200fd will be a high-specification “luxury ultra-compact” that is set to take its place above the
Z100fd model - released earlier this year.

With a 5x optical zoom lens, face detection, intelligent red-eye removal and dual image stabilisation the unit is praised and the site concludes that the Couple Timer and Group Timer functions are expected to be “interesting” additions.

Fujifilm have announced the launch of a new digital camera that will replace the Fujifilm FinePix Z100fd.

The Fujifilm FinePix Z200fd will be added to the Japanese manufacturers existing range and will be lighter and more portable as well as featuring better specifications than its predecessor.

According to the Imaging Resource, the Fujifilm FinePix Z200fd is expected to be shipped to the UK in August and will be a ten-megapixel model equipped with an improved sensor and better portability.

“[The camera] is listed as being four grams lighter than the previous model and one further change is an increase in digital zoom strength from 5.1x to 5.7x,” the site notes.

However, it is noted that the Fujifilm FinePix Z100fd has a larger built-in memory than the new model - which is currently available in a number of colours - including black, pink, brown and silver - and with a price tag of around £130.

A new digital camera from Fuji could bridge the gap between compact and digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) models, it has been suggested.

In an article for dpreview. com, Richard Butler notes that the Fuji Finepix S100FS attempts to offer the increased level of “control and range” that buyers have sought for some time without having to carry the extra weight of a DSLR.

Mr Butler notes that Fuji Finepix S100FS is “an interesting package” that has an extra large sensor, a lens that is able to cover a zoom range of up to 4.3x and boasts the latest version of the manufacturer’s Super CCD sensor technology.

“[There are] some photography-related features that have been added too, such as presets designed to mimic the behaviour of specific Fuji films and a dynamic range expansion mode,” the review notes.

The camera comes equipped with a 2.5-inch TFT LCD screen, dynamic range expansion mode and TTL 256-zone metering.

The Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd has been described as a “sophisticated and immensely versatile” camera capable of handling “all types” of photography by a product review website.

Trusted Reviews also said the camera offers “superb handling”, along with “very good performance” and “excellent” build quality.

With an effective resolution of 8.3-megapixels and an 18x optical zoom lens, the Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd has the hardware to deliver “superb” colour rendition and a good level of fine detail, it adds.

Other features of the camera include face detection technology, a CCD-shift image stabilisation system and 16 shooting modes for different photography scenes.

It also boasts a fully-automatic red-eye removal application, intelligent flash mode and a high-speed 15 frames per second continuous shooting setting.

Overall, the site says, the camera offers versatility and super-zoom capabilities, while offering the “snapshot convenience” of a compact model. For its price, the Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd represents a “real bargain that will not disappoint”.

The Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd is available to UK shoppers from around £155.99.

A review of the Fuji Finepix S9600 has rated the camera for its large lens unit and picture quality, while also noting that the model is “as close as you will get to a digital SLR without buying one”.

Cameras. co. uk said the model “dwarfs” other compacts on the market in size and as a result it boasts a “much larger lens unit” than most of its contemporaries.

As a result, the site says, the Fuji Finepix S9600′s image quality has “plenty of plus points”, including sharp focus and outdoor performance that outdoes “just about every other camera” it has tested.

The nine-megapixel camera also produces colours with “plenty of depth” and good balance, the site adds.

And the Fuji Finepix S9600 remains easy to operate, despite the large number of settings and features included on board.

In conclusion, the review says the style of the Fuji Finepix S9600 would suit a camera shopper looking for a model that resembles the “look and feel” of a digital SLR without the hefty price tag.

The Fuji Finepix S9600 is available in the UK from around £197.99.

The Fuji FinePix F100fd has been praised for its construction, ease of operation and “savvy” feature set by a new review.

Website Trusted Reviews said the camera is the “new top dog” in Fuji’s F-series range, boasting a 12-megapixel resolution, “cutting edge” face detection autofocus that can recognise up to ten individuals and a Fujifilm CCD HR VIII sensor.

The review notes that the sensor uses the same technology as the “top of the range” Fuji FinePix S5 Pro DSLR, with a unique pixel array that captures a broader range of tones, highlights and shadows.

The Fuji FinePix F100fd also comes with image stabilisation that uses a combination of mechanical sensor adjustment and high ISO sensitivity to reduce blur from both camera and subject movement.

In addition, the camera has a 5x zoom lens with a digital zoom range of 8.2x which because of the Fuji FinePix F100fd’s high resolution “becomes a useful tool” for a photographer.

As is the camera’s blog mode, which automatically resizes image files for quick uploads onto websites.

The Fuji FinePix F100fd is available in the UK from around £186.99.
