Fujifilm has chosen today to announce its PMA 2007 compact digital cameras, starting with the upgrade to the popular S5600 budget super zoom. The S5700 brings many improvements including a redesigned body and control system, 7.2 million pixel sensor, ISO 1600 and several new features. It’s a solid upgrade but we’re not sure that the claim from the press release that it’s ‘the ultimate camera for every occasion’ would stand up in a court of law…
