Fujifilm FinePix F11 ZoomFujifilm have launched a successor to the popular FinePix F10 zoom camera, the new FinePix F11 Zoom. The F11 Zoom has a lot of cool new features that would entice photo enthusiasts and increase creativity.

The most noteworthy new feature is the addition of manual shooting options, including aperture and shutter priority modes which were lacking in the F10. The 6.3 megapixel F11 also features a sensitivity of ISO levels 80-1600 using Fujifilm's Real Photo Processor technology, giving clean images whether they are shot in sunshine, low light or without flash.

Fujifilm has also got on the bandwagon and added a hi-res 2.5" LCD screen claiming 153,000 pixels, and this will definitely be helpful in previewing images. Close-up photography (up to 5 cm) is now possible, thanks to improved focus response in macro mode.

The FinePix F11 Zoom looks to be a very good candidate for your next travel companion, allowing an impressive 500 shots on a single battery charge. www.fujifilm.co.uk
