It ‘came the official announcement of the new Fujifilm S2000HD, camera where there had anticipated the specific few weeks ago. Confirm the technical characteristics: Ccd sensor stabilized from 10 megapixels, 15x optical zoom (equivalent 27-414mm) LCD display by 2.7 inches and 230,000 pixels, full manual controls, a system of face detection. The suffix hd in the name of the model indicates the possibility to record movies in high definition (1280 x 720 at 30 fps); affects the impossibility of record on xD memory cards, but only on Sd / SdHc. This new Fujifilm S2000HD will be available starting in September at a list price set at 299 U.S. dollars.

Jeff Keller of DCRP tested thoroughly the interesting Fuji FinePix S100fs, which recall the main features: sensor superCCD wide (2 / 3 “) from 11 megapixels, a long stabilized zoom of up to 400mm, maximum sensitivity set at 3200 iso , Lcd screen by two and a half inches.

The judgement of dear old Jeff is broadly positive, but expressed concerns about value for money: the S100fs is certainly one of the best “compattone” on the market, but worth the cost of a reflex entry level (it’s on sale at around 500 euros)? E ‘true, the sensor is above average and the objective has a crazy trip, but the quality / price makes some doubts arise under a battery life not excellent, a system not very raw optimized and made manual fire a little ‘cumbersome.
