Fujifilm has rolled out the FinePix A700, said by the company to be the most advanced model in their popular A-Series of entry-level digital cameras.
Sporting an impressive 7.3-megapixel Super CCD sensor - the first of its kind - a sizable 2.4-inch LCD and 3x optical zoom, the FinePix A700 is being tailored for first-time digital camera buyers and consumers looking for a competitively priced upgrade to their first digital camera.
The highlight feature of the FinePix A700 is its large 7.3 megapixel Super CCD sensor. Originally, Fujifilm placed its Super CCD sensor in digital cameras aimed at advanced amateur and professional photographers. This year, however, a breakthrough was made and Super CCD made its maiden, A-Series appearance in the FinePix A400 and FinePix A500 digital cameras. Those cameras carried four and five megapixel Super CCD sensors, respectively, and were followed later by the six megapixel FinePix A600.
The 7 megapixel FinePix A700 is the latest progression in the series and offers users the greatest photo flexibility. While 7 megapixels is more than enough resolving power for a standard, 4 x 6-inch picture, the extra resolution generated by the Super CCD sensor opens the door to user creativity as digital photos can be converted to poster size prints or cropped without a loss in quality.
As an added bonus, Fujifilm’s Super CCD technology is also responsible for the FinePix A700’s unrivalled low noise performance across its ISO 100-400 sensitivity range. Less noise in photos leads to sharper images.
The Fujifilm FinePix A700 also offers the following:
- The 2.4-inch LCD that enables easy viewing and playback. It features an anti-glare coating for improved viewing in direct light.
- Automatic ISO setting up to ISO 400 with low noise.
- Four scene modes -- Portrait, Landscape, Sport and Night -- for shooting in a variety of shooting conditions.
- The camera has approximately 12MB of on-board storage just in case the removable, xD-Picture Card (sold separately) fills up with photos.
- Two AA batteries power the FinePix A700.
The FinePix A700 will be in stores in early October and will retail for $199.
