FUJIFILM prepare to launch its 12M digital camera FinePix F60fd in Japan market, which features Face Detection 3.0 technology with 360-degree detection ranges. Measuring 92.5*22.9*59.2mm at 182g, it is available in black and silver.

Combining a new 12M Super CCD with a 3x optical zoom lens and a 3-inch high-resolution 230,000 pixel LCD Screen, the FinePix F60fd supports up to ISO 6400 and video recording with 640*480 resolution at 25 fps.

In particular, its Face Detection 3.0 technology can detect up to 10 human faces (even in motion) in a scene in as little as .035 seconds, automatically correcting focus, exposure, and white balance, regardless of where subjects are located within the frame.

Fujifilm this morning confirmed its inadvertent leaks with multiple FinePix camera updates ahead of next month’s Photokina camera expo. The 10-megapixel  ultrazoom slightly improves the earlier S1000fd with a longer 15X zoom, 720p widescreen movie capture as well as 16:9 ratio still shots.The S2000HD will run on AA batteries when it ships in September for US pricing of $300. The F60fd switches back to a conventional compact form with a 12 megapixel sensor but a 3X zoom lens. F50fd, the new model adds full scene recognition to automatically tune color balance and virtually all other settings for true beginners. It also supports hardware image stabilization and an improved face detection system that supports sharper angles, more faces, and will optionally remove red eye from shots taken with flash. Fujifilm ships the F60fd at the same time as the S2000HD and prices it at an identical $300.

The J150w, is the lone budget introduction today for the US market. The 10-megapixel camera is the first J-series to sport a wide-angle lens and shoots at a film equivalent 28-140mm with 5X zoom, improving its ability to take shots of large family portraits or landscapes. It also receives the newer face detection support but relies on ISO boosts rather than hardware to stabilize the image. The camera maker gives the J150w a large three-inch preview LCD and ships the point-and-shoot in September for $200.

Other lower-end J-series cameras, such as the J100, J100w, and J15, haven’t been announced for the US and are currently intended for outside markets

Fujifilm has added another model to its popular ‘A’ series of competitively-priced compact digital cameras. The 8MP Fujifilm A850 is based around a 1/2.5″ sensor and has a 3X zoom.
Fujifilm is pleased to announce the launch of the new Fujifilm A850. The stylish new camera joins the existing A920 and A900 in offering high-end technology to every-day users who want point-and-shot simplicity at an affordable price point, but are not prepared to compromise on image quality.
