Fuji FinePix S602

Digital Camera Reviews      

Designed for great handling as well as performance, the stylish Fuji FinePix S602 echoes SLR design while remaining light and remarkably compact.

At the heart of the FinePix S602 lies a third-generation Super CCD sensor (3.1 megapixels), capable of delivering an amazing 6 million recorded pixels, thanks to its unique honeycomb design and advanced signal processing. The new generation of Super CCD boasts even better color reproduction, lower levels of noise, and ultrahigh sensitivity (up to 1,600 ISO in 1,280 x 960 mode) for richly detailed, high-resolution images. It also features Fuji's pixel-mixing technology, which can produce digital VGA-resolution movies at 30 fps.

From delicate skin tones to bright blue skies and noise-free shadows, the new sensor and signal processing system deliver picture-perfect results in every shooting situation.

Designed for the serious photographer, the FinePix S602 also offers a range of fully automatic modes for point-and-shoot ease of use. Simply switch to Auto and let the camera do all the hard work.
