From the Manufacturer
 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 syncronizing 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. |
