Fujifilm FinePix E500 Zoom and FinePix E510 Zoom: refreshingly candid cameras
Fujifilm takes a wide angle on things with no-nonsense ‘E’ range duo
28 July 2004
Fujifilm today announces the launch of the FinePix E500 Zoom and FinePix E510 Zoom: compact digital cameras that are dependable in design and straightforward in operation. The cameras are the first models in Fujifilm's newly-launched E series, which is characterised by wide zooms, large LCD screens and useful features, allowing photographic creativity to be explored, all at a competitive price.
The sturdily-built FinePix E500 Zoom and FinePix E510 Zoom are a pleasure to use. With a durable chassis featuring a solid ‘grip’, they are more comfortable to operate than smaller lifestyle cameras, and will bring even the most hardened sceptic round to digital photography.
The FinePix E500 and E510 Zoom deliver 4.1 million effective pixels and 5.2 million effective pixels respectively. Each has a Fujinon 3.2x zoom lens, boasting a wider-than-average equivalent of 28mm on a 35mm camera. With a starting sensitivity of ISO 80, both models have a pleasingly high signal to noise ratio and an accompanying increase in image quality. The generous 2" LCDs on the rear ensure clear playback and confident picture-taking.
Both the FinePix E500 Zoom and FinePix E510 Zoom are PictBridge compatible for direct printing of images without the need for a PC. The new cameras are the perfect transition to digital photography for those who enjoy a wide angle on things. Their reliable performance and solid build mean they can be used with confidence and are made to last.

Conventional CCD sensor delivering 4.1 million pixels

Adrian Clarke, Fujifilm’s Director of Consumer Products, said, "The E series cameras are an important addition to Fujifilm's offering, successfully bridging the gap between our entry level compacts and the more enthusiast and lifestyle cameras.
"The E500 and E510 are incredibly unfussy cameras that are capable of exceptionally good pictures at an attractive price. Anybody still using entry-level film SLRs might well find that these are the cameras that tempt them towards digital photography."
Availability & pricing
The FinePix E500 Zoom and FinePix E510 Zoom will be available in the UK from retailers in August 2004. Stockists to be confirmed. Pricing will be announced nearer to the date of retail launch.*
