A press release today from Fujifilm UK announces a minor update to an existing model, in the shape of the new Fujifilm FinePix F11 Zoom.
Closely based on the original F10 Zoom digicam, the F11 seems to have only a few changes, but those changes look to have corrected a couple of the main shortcomings of the original camera. Most notably, there's a little more control on offer courtesy of shutter- and aperture-priority modes. The metering system has also been upgraded, going from a 64-zone to a 256-zone multi (and retaining the center-weighted and spot metering options). Macro focusing is now rated three centimeters closer (at a wide-angle minimum of 5 centimeters), and the total number of pixels on the LCD display is boosted by one third to 153,000. The Fujifilm FinePix F11 Zoom has also been announced in Asia, but not in the United States at the current time. Should we have any further news on the subject, you can expect to hear it on our news page. Pricing has not been announced in any market at the current time, but the Japanese announcement quotes availability in that market as the end of October. | Fujifilm FinePix F11 Zoom |  | | General | | Camera Type | Compact | | Manufacturer | Fujifilm | | Model Number | F11 | | Dimensions | 3.6 x 2.3 x 1.1"

Adrian Clarke, Director of Photo Products, Fujifilm, said, “The performance of the FinePix F10 Zoom grabbed people's attention as soon as it launched. It has been a hugely successful camera for Fujifilm around the world, and this overwhelming demand persuaded us to introduce a second model with additional photographic control – for those wanting to be a little more creative. In particular, the high ISO of 1600 will be something that people will relish experimenting with." |
