Fuji F650 Zoom Digital Camera Announced
Fujifilm today launched the Fuji F650 Zoom digital camera, a cute looking and compact package. So, what do you get with the F650 apart from neat looks? 6 megapixels, 5x optical zoom, and and a super-size 3-inch LCD to start with. The F650 is actually FujiFilm's first digital camera to sport a 5x optical zoom (equivalent to a 35-180mm on a 35mm camera). Digital zoom tops out at 4.4x. Combining the two you get a total zoom range of 22x. Enough of the zoom. Let's move on.
The Fuji F650 makes it a snap to shoot pictures, thanks to the 10 selectable scene positions. Modes provided include Portrait, Landscape, Sport, Night, Beach & Snow, Sunset, Museum, Party, Flower Close-Up and Text. Like all other FinePix cameras, the F650 too captures movies at 30 fps with sound. ISO sensitivity ranges from 64-400, good enough for most conditions. PictBridge compatibility lets you print directly on a printer without the need for a PC. The 32MB of internal memory should serve as adequate backup in case you run outof space on the SD card.
