Fujifilm offer a great range of digital cameras and you are sure to find something to suit you in their range.
Fujifilm have always been a market leader in digital camera research and development. The quality of their digital cameras is outstanding with many having full metal bodies, great lenses and the latest in image processors. They are also very competitively priced and this has helped them to remain consistently in the top three market leaders in digital cameras.
As with most ranges of digital cameras, Fujifilm cameras can be split into 3 types. Firstly there is the 'point and shoot' range. These are designed for people who want to pick up the digital camera and take a good picture, without wanting to play around with the image. Then there is a range of digital cameras for people who like to have a bit more control over the final image, may want to put an effect on the final shot such as Black and White. These digital cameras are aimed at people who have more experience with photography or people who like to experiment with their images. And finally there is a range of digital cameras for the professional or keen amateur. These give you full control of the image and often have interchangeable lenses, can take filters etc.
Fujifilm's 2011 new digital camera range
Fujifilm's 2011 range delivers exceptional performance for everyone and every budget - new EXR-CMOS technology offers the highest possible dynamic range, resolution and speed
Fujifilm will kick start 2011 with a major launch featuring a range of 16 new FinePix digital camera models covering nearly all market segments, from the truly professional to the rugged and multi-functional.
Star products of the new range include the highly anticipated professional grade compact camera (X100) a new all-in-one semi-pro model (HS20) high end compact models (F550 EXR and F500 EXR) a new rugged, GPS enabled camera (XP30) and a super slim, social media focused, style compact (Z90). Full details of all 16 new models can be found at: www.fujifilm.co.uk/presscentre.
The W3 stereoscopic 3D camera also continues as one of the star products in the 2011 range.
Unique technologies gives Fuji the finer image
A common feature on all the new Spring 2011 cameras is a series of Fujifilm proprietary technologies and bespoke, superb quality Fujinon lenses; the top models sport ½ inch EXR-CMOS sensors and the X100, a full size APS-C sensor.
One of the most exciting developments in the range is the creation of a new hybrid EXR-CMOS sensor delivering extra fast, high quality results in a wide range of lighting conditions. The design of conventional CMOS sensors is such that the light has to pass through a layer of wiring before hitting the photo diodes. But the Back side illuminated BSI-CMOS configuration places this wiring layer behind the photo diodes improving light sensitivity and dramatically boosting results, particularly in low light.
Featuring Fujifilms EXR technology, which allows the unique flexibility to optimise the sensors performance for either maximum resolution, the widest dynamic range or exceptional signal to noise. Consumers can either manually select one of the three EXR modes, or can use the camera in EXR Auto mode, which will automatically decide upon the best performance for a particular shot.
In HR High Resolution mode, users can take advantage of the huge 16 megapixel resolution (the worlds largest for a sensor of this type) for truly breathtaking levels of detail and sharpness. The DR Dynamic Range mode uses dual image capture technology to provide a much extended dynamic range for stunning results on high contrast scenes. While SN High Sensitivity Low Noise mode increases doubles up on the pixels using Pixel Fusion technology to produce outstanding images in low lighting conditions.
Fujifilms EXR technology isnt purely limited to the sensor, the system also features a newly developed triple core EXR processing engine, which speeds up processing time & boosts performance and picture quality on both still and moving images.
Photographers who like to point and shoot will also benefit from an expanded scene recognition function. In addition to nine subject-based scene scenarios, object recognition now delivers a total of 27 different scene scenarios.
The EXR processing engine also has the capability to spot and reduce purple colour fringing, most common on dark subjects against a light backgrounds, and improve the resolution at the corners of an image for more uniform image sharpness.
Perhaps the most obvious benefit of the EXR engine, however, is the new Rich User Interface, which employs Flash and Vector fonts and graphics to dramatically improve the appearance of the menus on the cameras LCD screen or via display to the same high quality on an HDTV, with connection via HDMI on some models.
GPS joins the range
Also new for 2011 is built-in GPS functionality featured in the F550 EXR and XP30 models which continues Fujifilms long history with the technology including launching the first optional GPS recording device on the DS-300 digital camera back in 1997.
In addition to displaying a location by longitude and latitude coordinates, the new Fuji GPS system has a number of useful facilities including tagging images with place names thanks to the embedded list of locations. A tag is also placed on the image which, when using place names, can easily be searched for, enabling shots to be quickly found of a specific location or point of interest.
Additional functionality is also provided by the Photo Navigation function, allowing users to find their way back to where a photo was taken. And for consumers wanting to re-trace their steps and map a route of their travels, the Route Logging function stores location data every 10 minutes* and, once the images are downloaded to a PC, a map of the route, along with the pictures taken along the way, is created using Google Maps.
* Anytime On or Only Power On must be selected for data to be logged.
Superstar new models for Spring 2011
Fujifilm FinePix X100
This is without doubt, the most exciting model of the new Fujifilm range which is already being acknowledged as the answer to many professional photographers prayers: truly exceptional quality pictures from a compact camera.

With a class-leading feature set that includes a brand new EXR CMOS sensor, high speed continuous shooting capability, improved user interface, versatile video functions, 16 megapixel resolution and a 30x zoom lens with advanced anti-blur technologies, the HS20 EXR sets new standards in bridge camera functionality and performance.
New for october 2011 The Fujifilm F600 EXR supersedes the F550 EXR adding extra functionality such as new EXR Auto with a Motion Detection capability, built-in GPS Landmark Navigator and the 15x wide-angle optical zoom lens now doubles its telephoto power thanks to the new intelligent digital zoom mode.
Improved sensor technology
The bespoke ½" 16 megapixel EXR CMOS sensor in the FinePix F600 EXR was first seen in the F550 EXR and combines Back Side Illuminated CMOS (BSI-CMOS) and EXR technologies to deliver superb results across a wide range of lighting conditions, notably in low light.
The Motion Detection function enables the FinePix F600 EXR to tackle motion blur on three fronts with mechanical image stabilisation, high ISO sensitivity and the new Motion Detection capability working together. In low light conditions with EXR Auto mode selected, the FinePix F600 EXR will automatically identify if the subject is moving. If it is, the camera deploys Motion Detection and a higher ISO to ensure the subject is captured, blur free. If no subject movement is identified, the FinePix F600 EXR will automatically keep the ISO lower and use image stabilisation for blur free results.
Leave the F600 EXR in EXR Auto and it will select the best option to deliver a great result. But users who prefer to take more control themselves can choose from:
- EXR HR (High Resolution) priority mode is where the sensor utilises every one of its 16 megapixels for the highest quality results.
- EXR DR (Dynamic Range) priority mode where two images are captured and then merged together to produce superb results on high contrast scenes.
- EXR SN (Signal to Noise) priority mode in which pixels are doubled up to increase sensitivity and give better results in low light conditions.
GPS Landmark Navigator
The FinePix F600 EXR automatically locates places of interest from its on-board database of around one million locations before displaying these points on the camera's LCD, showing their relative position, distance from your current spot and type of location depending on a range of category icons. You can also add and edit location names.
