The Fujifilm FinePix S3 digital SLR camera just got better. Fujifilm unveiled the new FinePix S3 Pro UVIR camera, claimed to be the first digital SLR camera capable of shooting images in the UV (ultraviolet) and IR (infrared) light spectrums.

Targeted at the scientific and medical communities in general, it finds use in interesting applications like investigations on gun-shot residue (think CSI). Of course, with IR photography night-time shooting is a breeze. The FinePix S3 Pro UVIR features a live CCD previewing feature - allowing the photographer to manually focus while dark filters are applied to the lens.

The S3 Pro UVIR uses the same Super CCD SR II image sensor used in the original S3 - giving images finer detail which is important to any investigation. Bundled software includes the HyperUtility Processing Software, allowing side-by-side image comparisons for metadata analysis.
