Equipped with a 3.4x optical zoom lens and 3-inch LCD viewfinder, FujiFilm's new FinePix V10 compact digital camera not only snaps 5 Megapixel stills - it plays games, too.
Introducing the first addition to its line-up of compact digital cameras in 2006, Fujifilm has taken the wraps off its FinePix V10 model. Also the first to utilize Fujifilm's Real Photo technology, the camera claims vastly improved noise reduction, enabling users to shoot pictures at light sensitivities as high as ISO 1600 at full resolution.
When combined with faster shutter speeds, benefits from the camera's implementation of Real Photo should yield lesser impact of shake and blur due to hand and subject movement as well as more detailed and natural-looking pictures taken in low-light environments. The camera also features a special 'Natural Light & With Flash' preset scene mode which shoots two images in succession; one without and one with flash, letting users choose their preferred result on-the-fly.
Built around a 3.4x optical zoom lens with an aperture of F2.8-F7.4, the FinePix V10 records still images at resolutions up to 5 Megapixels as well as video at 30 FPS and resolutions up to 640 x 480 pixels. Composite video out with NTSC/PAL is available for output to TVs, and the camera's generous 3-inch LCD viewfinder with 230K pixels is matched only by
the Kodak EasyShare One. This also features an anti-glare coating, as well as automatic scene brightening when used in poorly lit conditions.
Perhaps the most unusual feature of the FinePix V10, however, is its inclusion of four games including Number Puzzle; Break Out; Shooting Game and Maze - all pitched as time killers for a varied audience of camera owners. Other highlights include six preset scene modes, a 30-frame multi-frame playback mode for viewing groups of photos and a focus check feature which zooms in on a scene for verification.
The Fujifilm FinePix V10 will be available in March 2006 and is to sell for $350 USD.
