Fuji FinePix S6000/S6500fd
Description from manufacturer.
The 6.3-megapixel Finepix S6000 is a advanced SLR-body-style digital camera with cutting-edge features designed to take your digital photo experience to new levels.
The new S6000 digital still camera is the first Fujifilm Finepix product to feature Face Detection, a new technology designed to significantly improve your picture taking by identifying human subjects' faces in the frame and in real time, determining the optimal focus and exposure settings for the absolute best results possible in any shooting conditions. And all of this at the touch of one button, conveniently placed on the back of the camera body for easy access. Behind Fujifilms Face Detection Technology is a newly developed LSI chip combined with patented software that allows the Finepix S6000 digital still camera to reach a level of performance in digital photography never before possible.
Fast-moving subject? No problem. Fujifilm's Picture Stabilization utilizes the heightened sensitivity of the Finepix S6000 at ISO 3200 and high-speed shutter settings to prevent camera shake or freeze subject movement, keeping blur to a minimum. This easy-to-access feature (selectable on the mode dial) lets the Finepix S6000 choose the correct light sensitivity and best-matching shutter speed automatically, for the highest quality digital pictures.
The Finepix S6000 also features the second generation of Fujifilm's Real Photo Technology. Equipped with a new eye and brain, this next generation of RPT is comprised of the newly released 6th generation Super CCD and RP Processor II. Through the eye (or lens), you now can capture more light, more efficiently, with less light loss. And the brain (or RP Processor II) receives the images with less noise. Featuring enhanced double noise reduction, the RP Processor II lets users take full advantage of the Finepix S6000s ISO 3200 sensitivity.
Other enhancements include 235K-pixel resolution 2.5-inch LCD display with CV Film for anti-glare viewing, and dual shooting mode, which takes two pictures, with and without flash, allowing you to choose the best results. Additionally, the S6000 is equipped with FujiFilms i-Flash intelligent-flash system, which adjusts flash intensity and exposure controls for truer tonality and finer detail.
The Finepix S6000 is equipped with a 28-300mm Fujinon 10.7x optical zoom lens with full manual control via the lens barrel. This high-quality Fujinon lens configuration offers tremendous flexibility for either zoom or wide angle shots--almost like having two lenses in one, and without the risks of dust accumulation that come with having to change lenses.

Features.
New! Face Detection Technology
The new S6000fd digital still camera is the first Fujifilm FinePix product to feature Face Detection, a new technology designed to significantly improve your picture taking by identifying human subjects' faces in the frame (up to 10 faces) and in real time, determining the optimal focus and exposure settings for the absolute best results possible in any shooting conditions. Behind Fujifilm's Face Detection technology is a newly developed LSI chip combined with patented software that allows the FinePix S6000fd digital still camera to reach a level of performance in digital photography never before possible.
Picture Stabilization technology
Fast moving subject? No problem. Fujifilm's Picture Stabilization technology utilizes the heightened sensitivity of the FinePix S6000fd at ISO3200 and high-speed shutter settings to prevent camera shake or freeze subject movement, keeping blur to a minimum. This easy to access feature (selectable on the mode dial) lets the FinePix S6000fd choose the correct light sensitivity and best-matching shutter speed automatically, for the highest quality digital pictures.
Fujifilm's Real Photo technology
The FinePix S6000fd features the second generation of Fujifilm's Real Photo Technology. Equipped with a new eye and brain, this next generation of RPT is comprised of the newly released 6th generation Super CCD and RP Processor II. Through the "eye" (or lens), you now can capture more light, more efficiently, with less light loss. And the "brain" (or RP Processor II), receives the images with less noise. Featuring enhanced double noise reduction; the RP Processor II lets users take full advantage of the FinePix S6000fd's ISO 3200 sensitivity.
Fujinon Lens Technology and Zooming
The FinePix S6000fd is equipped with a 28-300mm Fujinon 10.7X optical zoom lens with full manual control via the lens barrel. This high quality Fujinon lens configuration offers tremendous flexibility for either zoom or wide angle shots - almost like having two lenses in one, and without the risks of dust accumulation that come with having to change lenses.
i-Flash Intelligent Flash
i-Flash fine-tunes flash output for shooting with high sensitivity settings. It recognizes scene conditions and determines the optimum flash output to ensure superb results. Subjects in the foreground appear natural, and background detail is bright and clear. The difference is especially noticeable in the natural facial tones of people in your pictures, in close-ups and group photos alike.
Dual Shot Mode
Not sure whether to use your flash or not? Don't decide, let the Finepix S6000fd take both! Dual shot mode will take two pictures with one press of the S6000fd's shutter button; one with flash, to capture a bright, vivid image, and the other without flash, to capture the natural ambience of the shot's environment. Dual shot mode gives you more flexibility to assure a great picture.
