Description

Fujifilm is pleased to announce the new FinePix S5800, a refinement of its predecessor, the FinePix S5700.

It's a faithful companion for every event, from nights out, the kids' school play or sports day, right through to countryside walks and family holidays. It's the ultimate camera for every occasion and perfect for users who always want a camera to hand, but prefer to get creative, not technical, with their photography.

Ten Times Closer
First up is the lens, which, unsurprisingly, makes or breaks a camera in this category. This specially-designed Fujinon optic gives you a zoom range of 38 mm to 380 mm, or 10 times magnification, meaning its perfect for candid shots of friends at distance, or shots of the kids playing football.

Great For Macro
The lens is tuned to give great macro results with a closest focussing range of 1 cm. It's ideal for close-up shots of flowers, insects, coins, jewellery, or anything that needs that extra bit of magnification.

Your Window On The World
Probably the biggest improvement of the S5700 on previous models is the LCD, which is a sizeable 2.5" and an excellent resolution of 230,000 pixels, meaning you can playback your images to your friends in gloriously detailed Fujicolor. It's also fitted with the unique wide-view filter, meaning the LCD can be viewed from side-on, rather than just front-on.

Dual Slot Flexibility
The S5800 features an xD/SD compatible slot, allowing the use of either xD or SD cards. This will give you the flexibility to buy the card you want, use cards from previous cameras, or choose the media that fits with your other desktop devices like laptops, PDAs or card readers.

A 2 GB card will give you 568 shots at the highest quality setting and lowest compression. Although the camera comes with built-in 26 MB of memory, you'll need to purchase an xD or SD card (ideally 512 MB, 1 GB or 2 GB) to get the most out of your photography.
