Kyocera Finecam S5R, 3 fps no limit
Aug 8, 2003 at 10:48:13 GMT
Kyocera has today announced the new Finecam S5R. This update to the S5 ultra-compact sees a slightly revised body design and an improvement in performance thanks to a new image processor dubbed 'RTUNE'. The RTUNE processor allows the S5R 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 S5R also supports movies of 640 x 480, 320 x 240 or 160 x 120 at 15 or 30 fps (with audio) limited only by card space. Expected price in Japan will be 75,000 YEN (approx. US$600).
