Fuji A400 Digital Camera
The 4.1mega pixel Fuji A400 digital camera is a new way in the Fuji’ CES 2006 launches. This newly released wonderful quality camera is equipped with Fuzifilm’s pioneering Super CCD-HR technology of digital imaging sensor design for capitulating enhanced resolution, higher light sensitivities, signal-to-noise ratios and wider dynamic ranges.
The zoom capacity of 3.0x optical and 3.6x digital unite to give a total zoom range of 10.8x for taking the images of faraway objects with fabulous precision. The internal memory of 12MB could prove to be an advantage in case you forget to carry your memory card or it is jam-packed. The controls are so easy that even a novice can handle the camera and take the shot with either an optical view finder or using the 1.8” LCD.
In my opinion the ease of use makes the camera a must have for the beginners who wants to take super quality picture without pampering about the sophisticated features.
The detailed specification of the Fuji A400 is available on the manufactures site. It is rated on a price of $149 and the product will be available from February 2006.
