Throwback Thursday: Fujifilm FinePix F601 Zoom
One of the more unusually shaped cameras from the early 2000s was Fujifilm's F601 Zoom. This vertically oriented compact wasn't designed by F.A. Porsche like previous models, but its gentle curves and metal lens cover were still eye-catching. Fujifilm's F601 Zoom used a 3MP sensor, and through a trickery involving its Super CCD HR sensor, could output an image up to 6 megapixels – and its successor, the 610 could produce images up to 12 million pixels!
In his review, Phil Askey liked its vivid color reproduction and welcomed the inclusion of manual exposure controls, but wasn't a fan of the camera's 89% coverage in live view. You can still find the camera brochure on Fujifilm's website – go take a look, it's a treat.
While the F601's unique design didn't endure, it's a reminder of experimental early days in digital photography.

posted! Our full in-depth review of Fujifilm's new FinePix F601 Zoom.
The F601 Zoom has the latest generation SuperCCD sensor which has 3.1
million pixels and creates a 6 megapixel output image. The F601 is Fujifilm's
successor to the 6800Z, it's slightly smaller, slightly lighter better
designed and faster. Indeed, the F601 Zoom may well be the fastest compact
digital camera currently available. | |
