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.
