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.

Just
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. | |
Pre-PMA
2002: As part of three new cameras announced today based on its third
generation SuperCCD technology Fujifilm has revealed the FinePix F601
Zoom. This camera, as the sucessor to the popular 6800Z also features
a 3.1 megapixel SuperCCD (although this time the new 'third generation')
which produces a 6 megapixel image. There are a full set of manual controls,
selectable ISO sensitivity and high speed continuous shooting at five
frames per second. |
The Fujifilm X-T4 brings image stabilization, faster shooting and a bigger battery to the X-T series. It's not without its shortcomings but we found it to be an excellent stills and video shooter.
With its unusual form factor can the Tourbox aid the editing process? Will its price and variety of tactile controls appeal to photo and video editors who would like to streamline their workflow?
The Panasonic FZ1000 II is a worthy successor to the company's first large-sensor, long-zoom bridge camera, and a value-conscious rival to the popular Sony RX10-series. It's just as fast as its predecessor but produces nicer JPEGs, has significantly improved controls and interface, and more.
The DJI Mavic Air 2 is a Goldilocks drone. It's not the biggest or the smallest model out there, but it delivers just the right balance of size and features.
Exposure Software's latest Exposure X5 app is a surprisingly fast, feature-packed and affordable alternative to Adobe's Lightroom – with no subscription required.
