TIPA Award 2008: Best Superzoom Digital Camera
'The S100FS is a ‘bridge’ camera that offers a number of features found on the Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro D-SLR. Its eighth generation Super CCD sensor boasts 11.1 million pixels, and full manual control is easy to achieve for photographers who like to take charge of their exposures.
With an optically-stabilized 28-400mm f/2.8-5.3 lens, the S100FS offers a huge zoom range that covers all general photography subjects, and the 2.5-inch screen can be tilted to provide the optimum viewing angle for composition. The camera’s Film Simulation modes emulate the contrast and saturation of Velvia and Provia emulsions, and there’s a RAW format for the discerning enthusiast wanting to create the look and feel of their images from scratch.'
NEW Fujinon 28-400mm Lens
The FinePix S100FS represents the cutting edge of Fujifilm's imaging technology innovation, and redefines what users can expect from a compact digital camera.
Incorporating a newly developed ultrahigh precision Fujinon lens this model is optimised for nature photography.
Featuring a new lens shift image stabilisation mechanism the expertly designed Fujinon lens uses a sensor to detect and compensate for vibration within the camera body. (Equivalent to about three f stops).*
The mechanical zoom offers framing with fingertip precision as well as offering a user experience that closely matches the use of a high end digital SLR.

Unique lens structure
Unlike interchangeable lenses, this one's fixed to the camera forever. And that is a good thing – not only will the interior of the camera be protected from dust and the elements, but you also have an incredible zoom range at your disposal. The FinePix S100FS incorporates a high-magnification 14.3x zoom lens which covers a broad zoom range from a wide angle of 28mm to long telephoto of 400mm and Super Macro for shots as close as 1cm from the subject (wide angle end). The flexibility within this lens means that precise framing has never been easier.
Fujinon optics have an enviable reputation within the photography industry for their clarity and quality, and the lens on the F100FS lives up to the name.
The 13 element structure, exclusively designed for the FinePix S100FS, uses a non-spherical surface lens and an anomalous dispersion lens.
The non-spherical surface lens suppresses distortion and the curved surface is ideal for efficient focusing of light onto one point, therefore achieving high optical performance with a small number of elements. In addition it reduces colour drift and mixing on contours, which can be a problem with telephoto lenses.
By suppressing reflected light inside the lens barrel the FinePix S100FS also eliminates ghost images and flare, delivering superb results.

NEW Electronic Viewfinder (EVF)
The FinePix S100FS incorporates a newly developed electronic viewfinder so you can take photos in the same way as using the optical viewfinder of a single-lens reflex camera.
The viewfinder, set just above the lens barrel, facilitates easy handling of the camera and accurate framing of the subject
Tilting 2.5-inch LCD Monitor
The FinePix S100fFS gives you the option of framing the shots through a bright 2.5-inch LCD screen, which boasts a 230,000 pixel resolution, and has a reinforced glass coating for scratch-free durability.
The LCD screen can be freely moved 90° upwards and 45° downwards. This wide-angle monitor ensures that it is easy to view the menu display and to check the focusing and the colour tone of the images you have taken.
Flexible xD/SD/SD-HC compatibility
The FinePix S100FS features an xD/SD compatible slot, allowing the use of either xD Picture Card, SD or SDHC media to store and transfer your photos.
This will give you the flexibility to buy the card you want, use cards from previous cameras, or choose the media that fits with your other desktop devices like laptops, PDAs or card readers.
