Offering zoom ranges above 10x, the super zoom cameras will always be a hit with the larger public. But when the same super zoom camera makes HDTV viewing of videos easy, people love it all the more. Since this is the age of the HDTV, people love viewing the bigger picture on a wider screen. The FinePix S1800 / S1880 from Fujifilm is one such super zoom camera, which comes with a resolution of 12mp and a zoom range of 18x and is equipped with a high-definition 720p video recording at 30fps.
Design and FunctioningThe FinePix S1800 / S1880 resembles the FinePix S1500, which was its predecessor, in shape as well as weight – at a mere 337gs. Its amazing zoom range of 18x offers a focal range of 28mm to 504mm. For those who love to use compact cameras to make videos the S1800 has the must-have feature of 2010, high-definition 720p video recording at 30fps. Like many cameras from Fujifilm, since this camera too is equipped with the 6 scene SR AUTO (Scene Recognition Auto) and Face Detection with new features, scenes and faces can be captured and optimized even more with the detection functions. If the user is indecisive about whether to capture with flash or the natural available light, then he or she could choose the Natural Light and with Flash mode, press the shutter and automatically capture the same scene twice: once with high sensitivity and natural light, and the second time with Intelligent Flash. It comes with internal memory worth 23MB and is compatible with SD/SDHC cards.
