Fujifilm released the FinePix F600 EXR which is an upgrade from the raw-capable superzoom Fuji F550.
The FinePix F600 shares the same 1/2″ EXR CMOS sensor and 24-360mm equivalent zoom lens as its predecessor. An upgrade feature for the FinePix F600 is the motion detection feature which tracks the subject’s movement so it can automatically adjust the ISO. If there is no movement or your taking photos of a still object then the camera will lower the ISO and maximize the image quality.
The FinePix F600 also has a GPS and even has a Landmark Navigator which tells you nearby landmarks to shoot. That’s a pretty cool feature and one of the main reasons why you should buy this camera. It’s basically enjoying augmented reality in your nice looking camera. This is a winner.
Here are some of the features we found interesting, that Fuji mentioned in their statement:
Augmented Reality Landmark Navigator – the next level of GPS
GPS tagging is the latest must-have feature on compact cameras and after introducing the functionality on the FinePix F550 EXR, Fujifilm has taken the technology further with the introduction of a GPS Landmark Navigator on the FinePix F600 EXR. Imagine you’re visiting a city that you’ve never been to before. You want to be sure you take in all the famous sites – or you simply want to know where they are in relation to your current location. GPS Landmark Navigator enables you to do just that. The FinePix F600 EXR automatically locates places of interest from its on-board database of around one million locations before displaying these points on the camera’s LCD, showing their relative position, distance from your current spot and type of location depending on a range of category icons. Users can also add and edit location names.
Great panoramic shots – seamlessly!
A 360° panoramic image of a location makes for a great memory and the FinePix F600 EXR has an enhanced Motion Panorama mode that ensures those memories are even better preserved. With the camera’s 360° panorama functionality, each side of the panorama is connected so you get one – seamless – panoramic shot. No details are missed and you’re assured of recording every single aspect of a location.
Good panoramic shots also rely on a steady grip on the camera and the FinePix F600 EXR’s new rubber coating (only available on Black version) on the front plate will ensure a solid hold, as well as enhancing the overall feel of the camera. Coupled with the high resolution 3.0-inch LCD screen (460K dots), the FinePix F600 EXR all adds up to a fantastic handling experience.
Fantastic features for maximum versatility
In addition to all these exciting new features, the F600 EXR also offers a wide range of picture taking modes that make it the ideal model for almost every photographic occasion.
ISO sensitivity up to 12,800, a full complement of exposure modes including aperture-priority, shutter-priority and manual for creative shooting, continuous frame capture of up to eight frames per second at full resolution, RAW file format, a selection of film simulation modes, and a full-featured integrated flash are just some of the multitude of options available.
And for users preferring to capture video footage, the FinePix F600 EXR offers full HD 1080p movie capture with stereo sound and a high speed movie option for freezing fast moving action at up to an incredible 320 frames per second.
