Chris Davies, Mar 18th 2011 Discuss [0]

Fujifilm's deliciously retro-styled X100 digital camera is one of the specific products called out as delayed by the current Japanese crisis, and that's having a significant impact on what was already a high-demand model. eBay auctions for the X100 are reaching in excess of $2,200 with time still to run, more than twice the Fuji's list price.

Fujifilm 3D camera promises 3D HD video by 2009 launch

Chris Davies, Oct 9th 2008 Discuss [0]

Fujifilm have been demonstrating a twin-lens 3D camera using its new Finepix Real 3D system, which is expected to hit the market in 2009. Two Fujinon lenses are positioned 6-7cm apart from each other, roughly mimicking the average distance between the human eyes, and each capture a frame at the same time; those are combined by a new processor that takes into account focus, zoom range and exposure and creates a stereoscopic image.

Chris Davies, Aug 1st 2008 Discuss [0]

FujiFilm's FinePix S100FS is intended to bridge the gap between the company's point-and-shoot digicams and its pro DSLRs, with an 11-megapixel 2/3-inch CCD, continuous RAW shooting and efficient shortcuts. InfoSync World have been playing with the S100FS and sound impressed:

"If you want 99% of the functionality of a DSLR but without blowing all sorts of coin and space on multiple lenses, then the S100fs is right up with the Sony DSC-R1 as a viable SLR alternative" Chris Coleman, InfoSync World

Fujifilm 310x CompactFlash is world’s fastest memory card

Chris Davies, Jun 18th 2008 Discuss [0]

Another day, another "World's fastest"; this time it's the turn of Fuji, who are frothing with excitement over their new CompactFlash card. The 310x version offers pro-photographers (because it's most likely they who will take advantage of such things) the fastest sustained write speed of any memory card currently available. Requiring a UDMA compatible digital SLR or camcorder, the new card boasts a write speed of 46.5MB/sec. Read The Full Story

Fujifilm Z200fd & A850 point-&-shoot digicams announced

Chris Davies, May 23rd 2008 Discuss [1]

Fujifilm have updated both their Z-series and A-series of digital cameras with the FinePix Z200fd and the FinePix A850. The Z200fd has a slick metal body, 10-megapixel CCD and 5x optical zoom. Meanwhile the 8.1-megapixel A850 has a 3x Fujinon optical zoom, ISO 800 sensitivity and image stabilization. Sadly the company hasn't done much for the A850's appearance; compared to what's on offer from rivals (and in fact compared to Fujifilm's own Z200fd), it looks quite bland and uninteresting.

Fujifilm FinePix Z20fd

Christina Crouch, Jan 24th 2008 Discuss [0]

The newest in the FinePix line of cameras is the Z20fd. I have to say that they are one of the nicer looking cameras I’ve seen lately style-wise. Aside from looking good the Z20fd also packs some pretty useful features. Read The Full Story

Fujifilm Tape Tracker

James Allan Brady, Nov 9th 2007 Discuss [0]

Still using tapes for your backup solution? First of all, my condolences, secondly, there is now a solution that should help decrease the chances of you losing them. The device takes the shape of a full sized tape disk but offers up GPS coordinates instead of storage space. So, as long as your transport your tapes in sets, your set. The GPS supposedly works even in rural areas and will even broadcast through vehicles and warehouses. Read The Full Story

Fuji FinePix F480

Chris Scott Barr, Nov 2nd 2007 Discuss [0]

Do you remember back when you could get a 2MP camera for just $200? It might not have been the best camera on the market at the time, but you didn't really care, so long as it let you ditch the old 35mm camera that you'd been using. These days there are so many cameras that give you so much more, for so much less. Read The Full Story
