Saturday, May 2, 2009

The Fujifilm Finepix S1500 is the latest offering in Fuji's FinePix series, and is an excellent choice for those looking for the ease of a point and shoot and the control of an SLR. Featuring a 12x wide-angle optical zoom with dual image stabilization and 10.0-megapixel resolution, the S1500 let's you get close to the action from any angle without losing picture quality. Face Detection and Auto Red-eye Removal ensure that every picture comes out perfect. Finally, a 2.7-inch LCD screen with Micro Thumbnail View makes taking and reviewing pictures a breeze. The S1500 comes with 23 MB built-in memory and utilizes SD/SDHC memory cards for easy sharing and storage.

Fujifilm FinePix S1500 offers Dual Image Stabilisation
In addition to offering incredible zoom range, the Fujifilm FinePix S1500 features combined CCD-shift and image stabilisation to avoid the effects of camera shake at longer shutter speeds. Dual Image Stabilisation facilitates long distance and fast action shots by ensuring that blur is minimised and photographic quality is always guaranteed.

Tracking Auto Focus feature on the Fujifilm S1500
The Fujifilm S1500's new Tracking Auto Focus function means that users can track a moving subject whilst ensuring focus is maintained, even when using the full eye-watering 12x zoom. This feature is ideal for kids who are always on the go, dogs bounding through fields, or Dads wanting to capture the perfect sports action shot. Simply focus, press the shutter half way and the camera will lock on to the subject, ready for you to take the perfect shot.

Fujifilm FinePix S1500 camera features
As well as Tracking AF, the Fuji FinePix S1500 includes numerous other features which will make it a hit with the all-action family.
• Instant Zoom helps to capture moving subjects at high zoom settings, and works alongside Face Detection when shooting pictures of people.
• Panorama Shooting Mode, first featured on the popular FinePix S1000fd, this enables users to create impressive panoramic pictures by seamlessly stitching together three separate photos.
• Continuous Shooting is great when capturing sports and action shots. The camera can fire an impressive 7.5 frames per second up to 15 frames (at 2MP) or 3.3 frames per second up to 6 frames (at 5MP).

High Speed Playback on the Fujifilm FinePix S1500
Once images have been recorded, they can be easily viewed via High Speed Playback or Micro Thumbnail View. High Speed Playback displays 10 frames per second making it quick and easy to find your favourite image. Alternatively, users can use Micro Thumbnail View which shows up to 100 thumbnails on the back of the large 2.7" LCD screen.

Fujifilm S1500 equipped with Scene Recognition AUTO
Plus, to make taking great images as easy as possible, the Fujifilm FinePix S1500 has Scene Recognition AUTO, which cleverly detects a scene without any need to pre-select the mode on the camera. Having identified the most commonly photographed subjects, Fujifilm has developed technology to automatically identify and recognise different scenes - Portrait, Backlight Portrait, Night Portrait, Landscape, Night and Macro. Once the scene in the frame has been detected, the camera will optimise the settings to capture the most stunning photo of your chosen subject. Portrait Mode works in conjunction with Face Detection technology to get the best possible portraits, instantly removing red-eye.

Fujifilm FinePix S1500 - Lightweight camera body
The compact and lightweight body is small and portable, making it perfect for holidays, family days out, or for snapping around the house. Inside the tiny shell is a massive 12x zoom, ideal for a wide range of subjects. The Fujifilm S1500 features an internal memory of 52MB, which also helps as a great storage option. With a low-power consumption (operating on four AA type alkaline batteries) the FinePix S1500 is the perfect camera for the energy-conscious consumer.
