Fujifilm FinePix S5100 - Older brother powerhouse

Monday, October 31, 2005

Inside the new Fujifilm FinePix S5200 you will find a bucket of new features. The most notable are the fifth generation of CCD's that pack a 5+ megapixel punch to the jaw. ZING! This CCD brings great image clarity and the power to capture pictures in more adverse lighting conditions. This uses Fujifilm's new Real Photo technology.



The new CCD is capable of pullion an ISO up to 1600 with minimal noise, leting you capture the best of action shots and look like a pro. The Anti-Blur Mode, which exploits the camera's exceptional ISO capabilities, reduces blurring caused by movement of the user, as well as movement blur caused by the subject, making it much more effective than image stabilisation technology alone.

The Fujifilm FinePix S5200 has a great 10x zoom with wide and telephoto modes to suport the average novice camera user. The fixed lens housing also ensures a lightning-fast start-up time and removes the risk of getting dust particles inside the lens or camera body.

The FinePix S5200 Zoom features a high-speed start up time of just 1.1 seconds and shutter lag has been minimised to 0.01 seconds. This feature goes hand in hand with the automatic pop-up flash to capture all the action all the time.

I would also like to point out the more than superb 30 fps video mode on this camera. The Fujifilm FinePix S5200 would be great for hoom movies if you do not want to lug around a bulky camcorder.
