Fuji FinePix IS-1 Infrared Digital Camera
The Fuji FinePix IS-1 Infrared Digital Camera may not be suited for common folks unless you are a CSI buff, but this nine MegaPixel Fujifilm DSLR is ideal for law enforcement, medical/dental and science fields and is actually a follow-up model to the FinePix S3 Pro UVIR D-SLR.
Thanks to its infra-red capabilities, the Fuji FinePix IS-1 can capture evidence which is not seen by the human eye and functions in both the visible and infrared light spectrums. The biggest selling point is no doubt its live preview feature and an "articulating LCD" which further simplifies previewing, capturing and reviewing photos.
The Fuji FinePix IS-1 is equipped with a built in 10.7x, 28-300mm optical zoom system and features a nine MegaPixel Fujifilm Super CCD sensor and ISO 80-1600 (in case of capturing a visible light image) capabilities. The on board proprietary Real Photo Technology captures images in infra red light (approximately 400nm –900nm) and the Picture Stabilization technology makes for sharper images.
The infra-red camera comes bundled with the Fujifilm Hyper Utility Software HS-V2 version 3 which also supports RAW and helps in side-by side image comparison via the metadata analysis tool which helps in examining images of blood stains, documents or other forms of evidence. The Fuji FinePix IS-1 will be available from February for $899.
