FinePix F470 Digital Camera (Fujifilm)

FinePix F470 digital camera revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show 2006, Las Vagas.

Slimming down was a resolution for many this past New Year’s Day, but not for Fujifilm’s new FinePix F470 digital camera. The FinePix F470 digital camera is already slim - less than 20 millimeters in fact. That makes the camera no thicker than a deck of playing cards, an ideal size for stowing away in a shirt pocket or clutch purse. Despite its slim size, the FinePix F470 digital camera packs a powerful imaging punch with a six MegaPixel CCD sensor and a finely tuned processor for super-sharp pictures.

Another helpful feature of the FinePix F470 digital camera is its 16MB’s worth of internal memory. Just about every digital photographer has come to the “miss it or delete it” crossroad. This is the moment when a photographer must choose between missing a photo opportunity because the media card is full and forever deleting a picture to make room for a new one. Not an easy decision for sure, and one the photographer often has to make in a split seconds’ time. The FinePix F470 digital camera eliminates this decision altogether by having available storage space on board for extra security.

The FinePix F470 digital camera’s 2.5-inch LCD won’t leave users in the dark, either. It has a gain-up control that senses a low-light setting and brightens itself to compensate. This feature, which the user controls manually, is a boon to the photographer when shooting in restaurants and other dimly lit environments.

Slim is also an apt description of the FinePix F470 digital camera’s price. It comes in at a rather attractive $279. The camera is available in March.
