Fujifilm FinePix S5600 Zoom

Fujifilm FinePix S5600 Zoom is the third generation of its powerful, mini SLR-style digital cameras with long zoom lens. Packed with features, including 10x optical zoom and Anti-Blur Mode, the FinePix S5600 Zoom is an impressive reworking of its popular predecessors.

Beneath its robust body lie the sensor enhancements that make the FinePix S5600 Zoom punch above its weight. Boasting a new 5th Generation five megapixel Super CCD HR sensor and Fujifilm's new Real Photo Technology, the FinePix S5600 Zoom has the power to capture large images with incredible clarity and detail in a range of lighting conditions.

Complete with an unrivalled sensitivity range from ISO 64 to ISO 1600, the camera makes it possible to achieve crisp photographs with minimal noise, even in very low light conditions. The Anti-Blur Mode, which exploits the camera's exceptional ISO capabilities, reduces blurring caused by movement of the user, as well as movement blur caused by the subject, making it much more effective than image stabilisation technology alone.

The camera's impressive 10x optical zoom has a fixed lens housing and covers all settings from wide to telephoto. It's ideal for amateurs and photography enthusiasts alike who want optical power but don't want to compromise with a heavyweight or bulky camera body. The fixed lens housing also ensures a lightning-fast start-up time and removes the risk of getting dust particles inside the lens or camera body.

The FinePix S5600 Zoom features a high-speed start up time of just 1.1 seconds and shutter lag has been minimised to 0.01 seconds. This, combined with a new automatic pop-up flash, means that you'll never miss out on the action.

Moreover, the camera offers 30fps movie capability with monaural sound, making it the perfect choice for those wanting to create high quality home movies without the need to carry a camcorder.
