Fujifilm FinePix IS-1

Posted by: Ralf Jurrien Wednesday 7th, March 2007

Fujifilm continues to lead in the area of alternative light photography with the introduction of the Fujifilm IS-1, a camera for capturing images in the infrared light spectrum. The Fujifilm FinePix IS-1 was developed for use in the law enforcement, medical/dental and science fields and is a follow-up model to the FinePix S3 Pro UVIR D-SLR. The Fujifilm IS-1 will help law enforcement officers solve crimes by capturing evidence not easily seen by the human eye. It can be used in both the visible and infrared light spectrums, making the evidence-gathering process more efficient and accurate. Priced at $899, the Fujifilm IS-1 will be available at select authorized dealers in the United States in February 2007.

Fujifilm F40fd

Posted by: Nic Rossmüller Friday 2nd, March 2007

Fujifilm is pleased to announce the introduction of the Fujifilm FinePix F40fd digital compact camera into the overseas market. Fujifilm was the first to introduce digital cameras with hardware-based Face Detection technology when the FinePix S6500fd was launched in July 2006. Because the technology was built-in to the camera’s processor, it was the world’s fastest, capturing faces in as little as 0.05 seconds. Face Detection has been popular among consumers and is now also available in the Fujifilm FinePix F31fd and FinePix Z5fd. In Spring 2007 Fujifilm adds the Fujifilm F40fd to its Face Detection FinePix lineup. Prices will be announced just before the introduction date in March 2007.

Many other manufacturers were busy expanding their DSLR range at a rapid pace, and everyone expected Fujifilm to also come up with something of the sort. We had the opportunity to take a closer look at one of the first pre-production samples of the S5 Pro to give you an exclusive comprehensive first impression.

PMA 2009 - The digital SLR camera market is booming. Compared to last year the DSLR camera sales increased with impressive numbers and it seems the digital SLR camera has become a mass consumer product. New entry level D-SLR cameras with 6 Megapixels surprisingly were welcomed very well by the amateur photographer and it seems that within this segment of the digital camera market the resolution range of 6 - 10 Megapixel fulfils the need of the amateur photographer. Without lenses the digital SLR camera would not be complete and it is for that reason we see a huge number of digital SLR lens introductions appear this year. There are multiple camera manufacturers offering their best own brand solution for its DSLR camera, but there are even more specialized lens manufacturers who offer an impressive number of lens solutions too. Keep your eye on the digital SLR lens section of this PMA 2009 report for the latest introductions!
