Just announced at CES, the
Fuji Finepix S1 Digital Camera looks pretty impressive! With a 50X zoom, it looks like it may be a good contender for the Ultra Zoom crown, perhaps even toppling my favorite little
Canon SX50!
With a 1200mm zoom equivalent, the
Fuji S1 can really reach out and touch someone. I know, because my
Canon SX50 has the same zoom range, and it is CRAZY long!!!
Packed with features like a 16.4 Mp 1/2.3" CMOS Sensor, 3" 920k vari-angle LCD monitor, 5 axis optical image stabilization, built-in wifi, and full HD 1080p @ 60fps, this little camera looks like it's got the goods to deliver amazing photo and video performance.
... and oh yeah! Dust and weather resistant (proof?) body! This looks quite promising. Fuji says the
S1 has over 70 dust and weatherproof seals on the body, and weather proofing is always a welcome feature!
I'll be very interested to get my hands on one of these and shoot it against my
Canon SX50. Who knows? Maybe the
SX50 will be going on eBay, and the new
Fuji S1 will become my new Ultra Zoom darling. :-)
