Fujifilm's FinePix Z5fd
Fujifilm has introduced the FinePix Z5fd, the second camera (after the S6500fd) to use the company's Face Detection technology. According to Electronista, when shooting a portrait, an FD camera prioritizes faces while judging autofocus and exposure; the camera then zooms in to faces automatically, trimming off what it considers to be extraneous edges. The Z5fd is a 6.3MP camera with 3x optical zoom and a 2.5-inch LCD. In addition, the camera also offers movie capture, ISO 1600 sensitivity, and IR data transfer to devices like phones and printers and uses xD cards for storage. The camera is presently confirmed to ship in Japan and the United Kingdom, according to the report; however, no pricing information was given.
