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.

The premium, compact long-zoom
FinePix F900EXR digital camera was also announced today, featuring a new
Intelligent Hybrid AF system that focuses as fast as 0.05
seconds by using a new Phase Detection AF system in its

AF depending on the subject and scene, guaranteeing
ease-of-use and accurate autofocus no matter what
the setting or shooting conditions.

feature that effectively doubles zoom capability and a
3.0" 920K-dot resolution LCD.
With its Wi-Fi capability, the F900EXR allows users to
back up photos on their home computer.
The F900EXR uses its EXR-CMOS II sensor to shoot video
full HD at 60 frames per second with improved
Phase Detection AF. Movie
recording can be started with a single press of the
dedicated "Movie Recording Button" and records
sound using the built-in stereo microphone.
With its built-in photographic filters, users can now get
