Fujifilm Announces FinePix F11 Zoom

Fujifilm unveiled the new FinePix F11 Zoom, the upgrade of the FinePix F10 Zoom.


The new device incorporates a 6.3 megapixel CCD and sensitivities ranging from 80-1600 thanks to Fujifilm's 'Real Photo Processor' technology.

This gives startlingly clean images, whether composing shots in bright sunshine, in low light or indoors without flash (although for such a camera, pushing the ISO beyond 400 will surely have unwanted effects).

The refined Super CCD sensor features the octagonal photodiodes pioneered by Fujifilm, which receive light more efficiently than traditional photodiode patterns.

The camera also features a higher resolution 2.5" LCD screen, featuring a resolution of 153,000 pixels.

According to the press release, the camera's battery delivers around 500 shots on a single battery charge.
