Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd
Fujifilm has today announced the new FinePix S6500fd, the suffix stands for one of the S6500′s new technologies, Fujifilm’s “face detection”. This appears to be designed to locate faces in the frame (up to ten faces) for auto focus, metering and subject tracking. According to the press release Fujifilm’s hardware implemented Face Detection technology needs just 40ms to locate a face in the frame. In addition the S6500 sports a six megapixel SuperCCD sensor which provides it with up to ISO 3200 at full resolution as well as a wide-angle 10.7x lens with a mechanically linked zoom ring. It’s not the first time we’ve talked about face detection, Nikon has had it in a handful of models since early 2005.
