Product Description

With a compact and stylish SLR-style design and a wide range of features, Fuji's S5000 has a lot to offer the digital photographer looking for a versatile yet highly competent piece of kit.

Aided by clever in-camera signal processing software, the camera delivers a whopping 6 million recorded pixels (2816 x 2120) from its 3.1-megapixel, fourth generation SuperCCD HR sensor. This same technology helps the S5000 to produce images that are compellingly crisp and packed with vivid, lifelike colours.

A 10x optical Fujinon zoom lens helps you make the most of this superb image quality, getting you as close as possible to your subject and letting you capture every detail perfectly. If this still isn't enough you can also call upon a 2.2x digital zoom to provide up to 22x magnification--equivalent to a focal length of approximately 814 mm. For framing and playback there's both a high-resolution 110,000 pixel LCD electronic viewfinder and a 1.5" LCD display.

A choice of six exposure modes and a Scene Position function featuring four special preset program modes (Portrait, Landscape, Sports and Night Scene) gives you a wide range of creative choices as you compose your shots. For crisp, sharp images every time there's a state-of-the-art, high-speed auto-focus system with an Area Focus system to let you focus on specific areas within the frame plus an AF Assist Illuminator. A wide range of manual control is also possible, enabling more adept photographers to make the most of the camera's abilities.

xD-Picture Card memory gives the S5000 a storage capacity of up to 512 MB (16 MB included), which means you don't have to worry about running out of space and swapping memory cards even when shooting high-resolution images. Other features include three high-speed continuous shooting modes offering up to five frames per second, the ability to save images in an uncompressed CCD-RAW file format, a movie recording function and the ability to show your pictures on a TV screen.
