Fuji S100FS Intro

Fujifilm USA Inc. has announced one of the more interesting digital cameras we've yet seen in the runup to this year's Photo Marketing Association tradeshow, the FinePix F100FS, where "FS" stands for "Film Simulation".

Fuji S100FS Features

The Fujifilm FinePix S100FS is based around a 2/3" SuperCCD HR VIII image sensor with an 11.1 effective megapixel resolution and Fuji's RP Processor III. The sensor is coupled to a Fujinon-branded F2.8 - F5.3 14.3x optical zoom lens that offers a 35mm-equivalent focal range from 28 - 400mm, and includes both optical image stabilization and a true manual zoom ring (rather than the "fly-by-wire" zooms found on most such digicams).

Other F100FS features include a 2.5" tilting LCD display, SD / SDHC / xD-Picture Card combo slot, Fuji's face detection 2.0 with automatic red-eye removal, extended dynamic range control, and ISO from 100 to 3200 with extensions to ISO 6400 at 6 megapixels and an incredible ISO 10,000 at 3 megapixels. The S100FS also has the ability to save in RAW format, and offers a selection of film simulation modes.

Additional Fuji S100FS feature details (adapted from the press release):

• Dual Image Stabilization: The FinePix S100FS features Fujifilm’s Dual Image Stabilization technology to ensure clean, sharp and blur-free images, even in low-light conditions. This combines image stabilization through a mechanically stabilized “floating” lens element to reduce blur from the photographer’s hand-shake, with Fujifilm’s Picture Stabilization Technology, to reduce blur caused by subject movement, for the ultimate in stabilization technology.
• Multi-Bracketing Function: The S100FS has three bracketing functions useful for high level photography: Film Simulation Bracketing, Dynamic Range Bracketing and AE Bracketing.
• High-Speed Shooting: Reliable high-speed performance is possible with the S100FS through Fujifilm’s newly developed Super CCD VIII “HR” and the new image processor RP (Real Photo) III Processor. At 3-MegaPixels, a maximum of 50 continuous shots at 7 frames/second is possible. In addition, 14 scene settings and customer settings can be selected, as can four auto-focus modes offer convenient high-speed, high-precision shooting and focusing for a diverse range of conditions.
• Image Formats: The Fuji S100FS captures images in both JPEG and RAW format.
• Movie Mode: The FinePix S100FS offers a movie mode with sound at 30 frames per second in VGA quality, and zoom capable with manual zoom ring while in movie mode.
• xD/SD/SD-HC Compatible Slot: The FinePix S100FS features an “xD/SD Compatible Slot” which accepts not only Fujifilm's traditional xD-Picture Cards but also Secure Digital (SD) and SD-High Capacity/SD-HC cards too.
• 2.5: Tiltable LCD: The FinePix s100FS features a tilting 2.5” LCD that makes it easy to frame shots from a variety of shooting positions.
