7.1 Megapixel Resolution
The high-resolution, 7.1 megapixel image sensor of the FE-280 delivers superior quality images and larger sized prints without sacrificing detail.
4x Wide-angle Optical Zoom Lens
The high quality 4x optical zoom lens delivers sharp, clear images and brings you closer to the action without taking a step, plus the wide-angle capability of the lens (equivalent to 28 on a 35mm camera) is ideal for shooting indoors, broad landscapes and family portraits. Adding the 4x digital zoom will let you get even closer with a combined zoom of 16x.
Digital Image Stabilization
Digital Image Stabilization freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds that prevent blurry images often caused when you or your subject is moving.
