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).
