Fujifilm FinePix S100FS scoops European award
15 Aug 2008
A new camera from Fujifilm has been awarded the title of European Superzoom Camera of the Year for 2008 - 2009.
The manufacturer has announced that it took the honour for its Fujifilm FinePix S100FS camera at the recent European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) awards.
It is reported that the 11-megapixel model, which comes equipped with a super-telephoto zoom lens, impressed the EISA judges with how much technology it managed to cram into such a compact model.
“The Fujifilm FinePix S100FS is a true alternative to a DSLR camera fitted with a super-zoom lens. Though hardly a compact camera, it sports a relatively compact and fast wide angle … lens of very high quality,” the judges said.
Adrian Clarke, Fujifilm’s director of digital products, welcomed the honour and added that the company had seen sales of the model exceeded its expectations.
The Fujifilm FinePix S100FS also features Super CCD HR VIII Real Photo technology, Face Detection 2.0 and full movie mode as well as a 2.5-inch tilting LCD monitor.
