Fujifilm has announced a top-of-the line compact digital camera, the FinePix F50fd. Combining a 12-megapixel, seventh generation Super CCD with a 3.0x optical zoom and a 2.7-inch high-resolution 230,000-pixel, wide angle view LCD, the FinePix F50fd is a compact powerhouse that incorporates all the features users have come to expect from Fujifilm's more advanced digital cameras.
With the addition of dual image stabilization, Face Detection 2.0 technology with automatic red eye removal function, and ISO settings of up to ISO 6400, the F50fd takes compact digital cameras to the next level.
Fujifilm's proprietary Face Detection 2.0, as with the original version of Face Detection, can detect up to 10 human faces in a scene in as little as 5/100's of a second, correcting focus, exposure, and white balance automatically, regardless of where subjects are located within the frame. Face Detection 2.0 adds to this technology by being able to identify faces at much more extreme camera angles than before. No longer does the camera need a head-on shot to identify a face, because now even a profile will do-with up to 90-degrees movement in either direction for profiles, and up to 135-degrees for leaning or lying down in either direction, for a total range of 270-degrees, said the company.
The FinePix F50fd builds on the strides previous Fujifilm digicams have made with low light photography and allows users to effortlessly capture the moment as their eye sees it, with clarity and low noise, using Fujifilm's Real Photo technology. Thanks to the seventh generation FinePix Super CCD-HR chip and the RP Processor II, the FinePix F50fd can utilize ISO settings of up to ISO1600 at full resolution and an amazing ISO 6400 at reduced resolution, said Fujifilm.
