Fujifilm FinePix S1600 Digital Camera (12MP, 15x Wide Optical Zoom) 3 inch LCD

Fujifilm's new 15x superzoom is ideal for those who want more flexibility and zoom range than a compact can offer, but don't want the expense and bulk of a DSLR. The FinePix S1600 has a versatile Fujinon 15x zoom, 28mm wide-angle lens, HD capture and manual photographic controls which give users the freedom for photographic creativity. However, for those whose approach to photography is point-and-shoot, then the S1600 can be left on Auto for total ease-of-use.

With a versatile 15x zoom you can get closer to your subjects without having to move

Fujinon 15x Optical Zoom & 12 Megapixels
The combination of a high precision Fujinon Lens and astounding 12 megapixel resolution will reveal impressive picture quality. The versatile 15x gives extra photographic reach across a wide range of subjects, from everyday snap shots to capturing the wonders of a family holiday.

Effective Anti-blur System
By combining high ISO sensitivity settings and CCD shift technology the S1600 is able to reduce the effect of camera shake and subject movement to deliver virtually blur-free photos, even when shooting at the full 15x zoom.

Good Low-light Performer
Photos taken in low light are often the most disappointing. The S1600 features impressive ISO sensitivity to 3200* meaning it is ultra-sensitive in dim conditions and able to record impressive detail and true to life colours with minimal noise. You can also select the ISO settings manually, so if it's a nice, bright sunny day you can select a low ISO (e.g. 100), or if conditions are dark, high ISO settings will be better at picking up detail.
*Number of recorded pixels is limited to maximum 3 megapixels. At full resolution sensitivity is limited to a maximum ISO1600.

HDTV-Compatible Photos & Video
Capture both photos and movies (720p) HD format and bring your memories to life. The FinePix S1600 lets you discover the impact of full-screen HDTV image display in the comfort of your home.
*Optional HD Player HDP-L1 is required to view photos and movies on HDTVs.

Intelligent Scene Detection Technology
The FinePix S1600 can detect up to six commonly photographed scenes and optimises focus, exposure and white balance to suit the scene being shot. The scenes it can recognise are: Portrait, Landscape, Night, Macro, Night Portrait, Backlit Portrait. Select SR Auto and let the camera do all the hard work!

Tracking Auto Focus
Ideal when photographing fast moving subjects and action shots, Tracking AF will 'lock on' to moving subjects and keep them in focus. Simply half press the shutter button and Tracking AF will track and keep focus on your subject. As soon as you fully press the shutter button you will capture a photo with the subject perfectly in focus.

Panoramic Shooting stitches up to three photos together in camera resulting in one impressive panoramic shot

Panoramic Shooting Mode
This mode is great for capturing sweeping landscapes or large group shots. Simply take three consecutive photos of your chosen scene and the camera will seamlessly stitch them together to create one impressive panoramic image and save it straight to the memory card.

Zoom Bracketing Mode
Enables three shots to be taken at the single press of the button, at varying degrees of magnification (original, 1.4x and 2.0x). This enables instant editing on the camera to choose the ideal shot, rather than having to go back to a PC to facilitate a digital crop.

Instant Zoom can follow moving subjects keeping them in focus

Instant Zoom
A selectable frame on the LCD lets you bracket and track moving subjects in standard wide view and will save it as a cropped image.

Smile Everyone!
Smile Detection will automatically take a photo as soon as a smile is detected ensuring all your pictures are happy ones.

Blink Detection
This fun new feature alerts the user of people blinking in a picture so you have the chance to retake the photo with everyone's eyes open and looking at the camera.

Natural Light and with Flash
Can't decide whether flash is required? Choose this mode, press the shutter and automatically capture the same scene twice: once with high sensitivity and natural light, and the second time with Intelligent Flash. Later choose one or keep both!
