Fujifilm focuses on fresh FinePix range

GPS goes gritty

CES 2011 Fujifilm clicked off 2011 with a major launch of 16 FinePix digital cameras, revealed at CES this week.

Here's a look at some of the snappers on offer...

The Fujifilm FinePix X100 is "the most exciting model" of the line-up. It has a fixed, prime F2 lens and a 12.3Mp APS-C sensor. The camera also includes a hybrid viewfinder that apparently combines an electronic viewfinder system with the window-type 'bright frame' optical viewfinder, normally found in high-end film cameras. The FinePix X100 will launch in June but pricing is yet to be confirmed.

The F550 comes in a black finish with red highlights and will be available this March for £329. The F500, which comes with a choice of five colours should retail for £279.
