Fuji FinePix Z5fd

Say hello to the new FinePix Z5fd slim digital camera from FujiFilm, incorporating face detection feature and high sensitivities of up to ISO 1600 for low-light photography. This 6.3 megapixel camera from Fuji is enhanced with Image Intelligence processing software for optimal face detection.

The face detection technology made an appearance with the FinePix S6000fd, but it was anything but slim. But with the Z5fd, you can have a slim one in your pocket. It also comes with i-flash, the intelligent flash system from Fuji. The camera features a 2.5" preview LCD.

The camera can also be configured to take two pictures in quick succession, one without flash and one with i-flash. Another interesting feature on the Z5fd is the inclusion of IrSimple, a high-speed infrared communication facility that lets you upload photos from the camera onto a compatible cell phone - and then send it as an MMS or upload it to your favorite photo site.

Available in silver, raspberry red and chocolate brown, the Fuji FinePix Z5fd will be available early December 2006. It supports the xD Picture Card. Software shipped with the camera includes the FinePixViewer 5.3 (which, unfortunately, is available only for Windows). No word on pricing yet.
