Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd, 6.0 Megapixel, 10.7x Optical/2x Digital Zoom, Digital Camera

The Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd Digital Camera uses a unique hardware based Face Detection technology to enable the camera to recognize faces and optimize settings to get the best possible photograph. With Fujifilm's acclaimed sixth generation, six megapixel Super CCD sensor and Real Photo Technology II, class-leading ISO 100-3200 sensitivity and Fujinon 10.7x (28-300mm equivalent) optical zoom lens, the FinePix S6000fd combines the photographic possibilities of a digital SLR with the ease of use of a compact digital camera.

The FinePix S6000fd's Face Detection uses an algorithm, which recognizes eyes and a mouth to lock on to faces in the frame, and this feature can cope with up to ten faces in a frame to optimize settings such as focus and exposure level before taking the photo. Furthermore, movement tracking ensures the camera stays locked on the subject until they move out of the frame. All this, combined with split-second accuracy, results in picture-perfect people shots with no need for user intervention.

Alongside Face Detection, the FinePix S6000fd features Fujifilm's Real Photo Processor II, delivering class-leading ISO (100-3200) sensitivity. The high ISO of the FinePix S6000fd means that sharp, focused images can be achieved in low light without the need for a flash, so skin tones look natural and foreground and background exposure remain balanced. When used in conjunction with Face Detection, the result is natural-looking people pictures that appear just as the human eye sees them, even when shot in low light.

The 2.5" LCD screen and high resolution electronic viewfinder give the user a choice of how to compose and view images. Furthermore, with fourteen special-scene modes, including Portrait, Landscape, Sport, Night, Fireworks, Sunset, Snow, Beach, Museum and Party, the FinePix S6000fd ensures users will never miss an opportunity for a great photo. Add a 30 fps VGA movie mode with sound and manual zoom capability to provide an attractive alternative to still photography that can not be incorporated into a digital SLR.
