Message Text: FUJIFILM today annunced its newest S-Series all-in-one bridge cameras, the slim FinePix JX680 and the premium F900EXR models.

The two new S-Series models - the S6800 and S4800 each boast a powerful Optical Image Stabilization system and FUJINON long zoom lenses with 30x optical zoom (24-720mm).

They also each use a FUJINON lens that consists of 17 elements in 12 groups, and combines aspherical and ED elements that help to reduce aberrations. Each of the new bridge cameras are also capable of a Super Macro mode for users to get as close as 0.78" from a subject.

The S6800 has a 16MP 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor that captures shots at sensitivities as high as ISO 12800. With autofocus speeds of 0.3 seconds, start-up times of 1.0 seconds, a 0.5 seconds interval between shots and a continuous shooting speed of 8fps (max 10 frames at full resolution), users can feel confident about capturing fast-action shots. And with its high-speed shooting of up to 60fps (max 60 frames, image size 1280 ? 960) and up to 120fps (max 60 frames, image size 640 ? 480), the S6800 lets users capture the action in slow-motion for advanced photography.

The S4800 uses a 16MP 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor and has autofocus speeds of 0.3 seconds and a start-up time of 1.3 seconds.

Both S-Series cameras have a Mode Dial for shooting selection, a 3.0" LCD screen (460k-dot S6800 and 230K-dot S4800) and the S6800 adds a dual zoom control for speed and precision zooming.

The FinePix S6800 makes 1080i movie recording as easy as taking pictures using the dedicated movie button to start recording instantly. The camera also supports slow-motion capture at 480fps.

The FinePix S4800 also shoots in 720p at 30fps in 16:9 forma. What's more, with the clever Video Scene Recognition feature and a dedicated Video Recording button, you can leave the camcorder at home, and capture some spur-of-the-moment footage.
