  • Fuji FinePix JV100: similar to AV100 but with some additional features, like tracking AF.
  • Fuji Finepix JX250: similar feature as the JV100, but with 14MP sensor and 5x optical zoom.
  • Finepix JZ300: similar to above models but with sensor and digital stabilization.
  • Fuji Finepix JZ500: like the JZ300 but with more powerful zoom and pet detection feature (yes,that’s right).
  • Fuji Z70 and Z700EXR would have unique design and as the name suggests, one of them will be with EXR sensor.
  • Fuji S1800- 12MP CCD sensor, 18x super zoom, electronic viewfinder, dual image stabilized, HD movie mode an panorama mode.
  • Fuji S2550: similar to S1800 but with some extras.

Yes, Hasselblad is coming with a new baby

By PR admin | Published: January 29, 2010

I have been following this rumor for a while.

There is new Hasselblad teaser – a new baby is coming:

click to enlarge

All key dealers in Central Europe were instructed by Hasselblad about the new camera system due next week. Hasselblad sees a gap between DSLR and MF segments and it will address it next week. The new camera will be cheaper and as compact as the Leica s2.

Read more about the new campaign in DSLRmagazine (English translation). A better “human” translation can be found here.

Fuji HS10 will steal the show (PMA) with its CMOS sensor

By PR admin | Published: January 28, 2010

The previously rumored Fuji Micro s10EXR will actually be the already mentioned Fuji HS10 model.

I think this will be the most exciting product at PMA this year. We are talking about CMOS, back-illuminated sensor here folks! No m4/3 mount as I mention already.

Some more Fuji HS10 details:

  • 10MP sensor
  • Dual image stabilization
  • 3″ tilt LCD
  • 30x wide angle zoom: 24-720mm
  • 1080p HD video with stereo sound
  • 10fps shooting
  • Panorama mode
  • Very low price! (I don’t know how much is it going to be)

I really think this camera will be great based on those specs. What do you guys think?

Hasselblad with a Leica killer?

By PR admin | Published: January 28, 2010

Hasselblad will reveal their secret in 4 days. I got some rumors today that besides a new website, they will also introduce “an interesting new option” which will be their answer to the Leica S2. Don’t have other details at that point.
