We're talking a 1/2.3-inch Super CCD HR sensor with dual image stabilization (sensor-shift and digital image) with a burst-rate of 33, 3 megapixel frames at 13.5fps.
Your $399 also brings 10-face auto detection, Fujifilm's iFlash to avoid overpowering shots, and a VGA movie mode shooting at 30fps.
Big and long is how Fujifilm's FinePix S8100fd rolls.
Available March.
But don't let those DSLR looks fool you, it's also fully automated with face detection, panorama shooting (stitches up to 3 images), and 14 pre-set scenes.
Brace yourselves, Fujifilm just let loose a flood of new shooters in the pre-PMA run-up.
First up is the FinePix S1000fd, dubbed the "world's smallest 12 optical zoom camera.
" The $250 camera features a 10 megapixel, 2.7-inch LCD and electric viewfinder, burst mode, and full manual controls.
Available April.
No shots of the camera yet, ironically, but here's the dirt:
12.2 megapixel APS-C CMOS (1.6x focal conversion)
3-inch live view LCD (up from the XTi's non-live-view 2.5-inch)
DIGIC III image processor
9-point AF, 3.5fps shot rate (up to 45 images in JPEG, 6 in RAW)
The usual ultrasonic sensor cleaning
SD / SDHC media
Ships April, $799 and $899 for body-only / included EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens, respectively
Also, two new telephoto lenses announced.
Looks like the Rebel XTi is officially last(-last) year's model -- just in time for PMA Canon's updating their new consumer DSLR with some sexy new features.
More on those after the break.
This beast features a 2.7-inch Live View LCD monitor, improved dust reduction system (including a new Dust Alert function to pinpoint the exact location of a particle), a weather / dust resistant shell, ISO up to 3,200, support for SD / SDHC cards, USB 2.0 connectivity, video-out (NTSC and PAL) and PictBidge functionality.
For the rest of the nitty-gritty, be sure and click on through -- after chewing on those details, maybe you can then decide whether or not you'll be throwing down $1,299.95 for the body-only model in March.
We reckoned those fliers spotted earlier today weren't just clever mockups, but now Pentax is affirming said assumption by getting all official with its new 14.6-megapixel K20D.
Oh, and don't you worry about lenses -- Pentax is busting out five new ones at PMA next week.
" Packed in this beauty is a 10.2-megapixel sensor, a 2.7-inch LCD monitor, the firm's own Shake Reduction system, ISO up to 1,600 and an array of auto picture / scene modes to boot.
Expect it to ship in March, and feel free to peruse the full specifications list after the jump.
Sure, a little less exciting than the bigger bro, but hey, it's five Benjamins less ($799.95), too.
Fret not, as it's also launching (officially, that is) the K200D for consumers "who may be unfamiliar with DSLR cameras.
Pentax's newly launched K20D a bit too rich for your blood?
