Kyocera Japan has announced the new Finecam S3R. This is a 3 megapixel
version of the S5R launched in August. As with the S5R it contains the
image processor dubbed 'RTUNE' which allows the S3R to shoot at 3 frames
per second until the SD card is full. This does however require a high
speed SD card capable of 10 MB/sec or more. The S3R comes in 3 colours,
silver, red and blue and will be available in December.
