Photo Film USA has introduced a new digital camera to its lineup, the FinePix
4700 Zoom. The new 4700 offers 4.32 megapixel resolution. Its the first camera
in Fuji's line to use a new Super CCD, which uses 2.4 million sensors, fewer than
previous Fuji cameras, which the company says helps to produce a better image.
The camera also offers a 3x aspherical optical zoom lens; equivalent ISO sensitivities
of 200, 400 and 800; pop-up flash; USB port; five programmed exposure modes; and
the ability to capture 80 seconds of continuous AVI video with sound on its bundled
16 MB SmartMedia card. Other features include:
- A wheel situated on top of the camera for selecting modes;
- A 2" LCD;
- An illuminated function display that glows red during record mode and green during image or video playback;
- A focal length equivalent to a 38-114 mm zoom on a 35 mm camera;
- Macro capability to 11.8 inches;
- Zoom adjustable in 0.2x steps;
- Five programmed exposure modes: auto, portrait, scenic, night scene and full manual;
- Three metering modes—multi, center or spot—and 64-zone TTL metering with programmed auto-exposure;
- Shutter speeds ranging from 1/2,000 second to three seconds;
- Five flash modes: automatic, red-eye reduction, flash on demand, flash cancel and slow synch flash for motion effects.
The camera measures 3.1" W x 3.8" H x 1.3" D and weighs in at nine ounces. Two included AA nickel-metal hydride batteries power the camera, which is bundled with two additional batteries and a charger. Adobe PhotoDeluxe 3.0 Home Edition is included.
The 4700 is available now for $799, down from its originally announced price of $999. For more information, visit http://www.fujifilm.com.
