Fujifilm drops new snappers

Posted by T3 Online on Thu 26 Jul 2007

SLR-alike and feature laden compact vie for your bank balance's attention.

Not content with shoehorning a myriad of killer features into the tiny bod' of their new Finepix F50fd compact, Fujifilm has also dropped a slick new SLR alike, the S8000fd.

The hefty new peeper comes toting a whacking 18x zoom, so you can come over all paparazzi without having to lay out on a lens the size of the small child.

There are 8-megapixels to play with, along with updated versions of their image stabilisation and face detection tech. It'll also take care of business in low light thanks to hefty ISO setting of 6400.

You'll also find the same rate of caring light sensitivity on the compact F50fd. It also packs face detection from any angle and crams in a mind-boggling 12-megs. Add a 2.7-inch LCD screen and you've got yourself a rather nifty little shooter.

Both are yours from September. The perfect gift for yourself to celebrate the kids going back to school.
