FUJIFILM’S NEW FINEPIX 2600 ZOOM COMBINES PERFORMANCE, STYLE AND EASE-OF-USE ELMSFORD, NY, August 23, 2001 ? Today, Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc. brings consumers a digital camera that doesn’t forsake picture performance in its desire to prove itself as a user-friendly camera with trend-setting good looks.
Compact yet durable, the new FinePix 2600 Zoom is the latest in Fujifilm’s mid-range series of digital cameras. Ideal for the digital photographer who wants more than just the basics, the FinePix 2600 Zoom fits into most purses and jacket pockets so consumers can freeze moments in digital quality wherever they may go. Equipped with Fujifilm’s Advanced Color Technology, the FinePix 2600 Zoom delivers world-renowned Fujifilm color to 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10-inch prints. The camera’s all glass, 3x optical zoom lens brings picture-takers directly to the action, and its fully automatic operational controls leave the photographer to do nothing but press the shutter button and enjoy the clear, sharp and colorful photos it produces. Camera-to-computer picture transfers occur in a flash with the FinePix 2600 Zoom’s USB connectivity and picture viewing is a pleasure with Fujifilm’s supplied FinePixViewer software. And if that’s not enough, FinePix 2600 Zoom owners can produce mini-home movies with the camera’s video capabilities.
“Consumers have been searching for an affordable, yet high-quality digital camera that doesn’t complicate picture-taking,” said Darin Pepple, Brand Manager, Consumer Digital Products, Consumer Markets Division, Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc. "With the FinePix 2600 Zoom, consumers can now have great digital images at a price that won’t break the bank."
The FinePix 2600 Zoom measures a compact 3.9" W x 2.6" H x 2.1" D and weighs only 7 ounces, without batteries. Bundled accessories include a 16MB SmartMedia? storage card, two AA NiMH batteries, battery charger, hand strap and USB cables. In addition to Fujifilm’s FinePixViewer, other bundled software includes Fujifilm’s DP Editor and Arcsoft VideoImpression?. Available in September 2001, the FinePix 2600 Zoom will carry a price of $249.*
