Fujifilm has added another
"first" to its imaging legacy with the introduction of the SLR-styled
FinePix S9000 digital camera, the world's first nine megapixel model for
advanced amateur photographers.
Advanced digital photographers have been
eagerly awaiting this addition to Fujifilm's popular S-series line. The
FinePix S9000 digital camera boasts 9.0 effective megapixels that capture up
to 3,488 x 2,616 recorded pixels (9.12 million)--the highest resolution of
any consumer-grade camera on the market as of Summer 2005.
While these record-breaking numbers are
impressive alone, Fujifilm understands there is more to a great digital
picture than resolution. It is this understanding, along with its rich
history of photographic excellence, which drove Fujifilm to incorporate its
groundbreaking Real Photo Technology into the FinePix S9000. The company's
latest innovation matches the nine megapixel, 5th Generation Super CCD HR
sensor with a super-sharp Fujinon lens and the RP Processor technology found
currently in the critically-acclaimed FinePix F10 digital camera.
A hallmark of Fujifilm's Real Photo
Technology is its ability to reduce the amount of graininess or "noise" in
digital pictures. This noise is often apparent in high-resolution photos,
particularly those shot at high ISO-equivalent sensitivities. With Real
Photo Technology, the FinePix S9000 can take pictures at ISO 1600--at full
resolution. Other benefits of Real Photo Technology include speed of
operation (the FinePix S9000 has a high-speed start-up time of only 0.8
second with shutter lag down to 1/100 second) and longer battery life.
In addition to offering low noise
processing, the new FinePix S9000 is equipped with a bevy of features that
will appeal to the photo hobbyist. One of those features is a world-class
Fujinon 10.7x wide-angle optical zoom lens that is the equivalent of having
a 28-300mm zoom on a 35mm camera. This zoom range is ideal for a wide
variety shooting situations and thus makes the purchase of additional lenses
unnecessary.
Other features appealing to the photo
hobbyist include:
- Mode dial with multiple settings,
including Anti-Blur that automatically adjust the camera's ISO settings
to combat camera shake and blur and Natural Light for more natural
looking photos, particularly in low light
- A manual zoom that along with the auto
exposure and auto focus functions, are operational during full frame
(VGA-quality; 30 fps) movie capture
- The ability to shoot in the RAW file
format
- A Super Macro Mode for pictures up to
0.4 inches
- Hot shoe and synchronizing terminal
for external flash
- Live histogram exposure setting checks
prior to shooting
- In-camera highlight warning function
that alerts the user to "overexposed" areas of just-taken pictures
- Strong auto-focus assist illuminator
for quicker focusing in low light
- Tilting LCD for high and low-angle
shooting; adjustable LCD and electronic viewfinder; frame rates of 30
frames per second or 60 frames per second for smoother viewing
- Dual media slot accepts xD Picture
card and CompactFlash/Microdrive
Framing pictures through the FinePix S9000's
LCD as well as its video features should be of particular interest to many
advanced amateur digital photographers who want all the controls of a
digital SLR camera but are hesitant to lose some of the convenient and
useful features commonly found in point-and-shoot cameras. The FinePix S9000
offers the best of both worlds: the photographic controls of a DSLR and the
movie mode and LCD framing capabilities of the point-and-shoots.
