 Fujifilm today announces the launch of the FinePix E500 and FinePix E510: compact digital cameras that are dependable in design and straightforward in operation. The cameras are the first models in Fujifilm's newly-launched E series, which is characterised by wide zooms, large LCD screens and useful features, allowing photographic creativity to be explored, all at a competitive price. The sturdily-built FinePix E500 and FinePix E510 are a pleasure to use. With a durable chassis featuring a solid 'grip', they are more comfortable to operate than smaller lifestyle cameras, and will bring even the most hardened sceptic round to digital photography. The FinePix E500 and FinePix E510 will be available in September 2004.

 The FinePix E500 and E510 deliver 4.1 million effective pixels and 5.2 million effective pixels respectively. Each has a Fujinon 3.2 x zoom lens, boasting a wider-than-average equivalent of 28mm on a 35mm camera. With a starting sensitivity of ISO 80, both models have a pleasingly low signal to noise ratio and an accompanying increase in image quality. The generous 2-inch LCDs on the rear ensure clear playback and confident picture-taking.
Both the FinePix E500 and FinePix E510 are PictBridge compatible for direct printing of images without the need for a PC. The new cameras are the perfect transition to digital photography for those who enjoy a wide angle on things. Their reliable performance and solid build mean they can be used with confidence and are made to last.
