These FinePixes track faces

Damian Koh | Sep 25, 2006

Fujifilm has announced two new FinePixes, both equipped with the company's proprietary Face Detection Technology. The pair comprise a S5 Pro dSLR and an upgraded F30--the F31fd.

Modeled after its predecessor, the new F31fd sports the Face Detection Technology which made its debut on the S6500fd. What this feature does is to automatically focus on and expose up to 10 faces in a frame.

What may catch the professional's eye is the much-anticipated S5 Pro. The 12.3-megapixel (6.17-million S-pixels and 6.17-million R-pixels) CCD sensor works together with the new Real Photo Processor Pro which claims to achieve film-like results. Other features include Nikon F-mount compatability, 11-point autofocus sensor, 2.5-inch 235K-pixel LCD, and shutter durability up to approximately 100,000 releases.

These two shooters join the FinePix A700 which was unveiled earlier this month.
