Fuji rattle the sabre in the Professional
Digital Camera market (and pro-sumer too) with this blockbusting 6.13
megapixel (3040 x 2016 - oh yes) professional SLR with a D1-killing street
price of US$4,000. Kodak DCS560 / 660 anyone? Best of all that CCD is
HUGE.. 1.1" (APS size).
Vitals: 6.13 Megapixels, accepts
Nikon F-mount lenses, ISO: 320-1600, CF Type II & SmartMedia, Est.
Street Price: US$4000, on-sale: June, 2000 (Japan).
UPDATED: Impress PC Watch post
coverage of the Fujifilm Japan Launch of these cameras
UPDATED: Camera is based on Nikon
N60 / F60D
(so let me get this straight, Nikon are supplying Fuji with camera bodies
to build a digital camera which undercuts the D1... ummm) Even the N60
specifications read back to back.
Bullet points:
- 6.13 megapixel, 1.1" (APS sized) Fuji SuperCCD
(3040 x 2016)
- Accepts Nikon F-mount lenses (1.5x focal length multiplier)
supports AF, AI-P, IX cannot be used
- ISO range 320 - 1600

We're proud to bring you a world exclusive. The first full review of FujiFilm's S1 Pro digital SLR. The first affordable digital SLR to market certainly grabbed the headlines when it was announced, since then there's been no end of talk about digital SLR's. With high resolution output, quality processing algorithms and Nikon lens compatibility the S1 Pro certainly looks like an interesting package (especially considering its $3,500 street price). But how does it measure up?
We'll try to tell you.. In our 16 page, 10,000 word review with over 150 images in the review body and 50 photographs (including originals) in the associated samples galleries.
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.
What's the best camera for shooting sports and action? Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting sports and action, and recommended the best.
Believe it or not, there are still people that like to print out their photos and create photo books to send gifts to family members. We looked at five popular photo printing services and have chosen the best.
Video features have become an important factor to many photographers when choosing a new camera. Read on to find out which cameras we think are best for the videophile.
What’s the best camera for less than $1000? The best cameras for under $1000 should have good ergonomics and controls, great image quality and be capture high-quality video. In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing under $1000 and recommended the best.
If you want a camera that you can pick up and use without having to page through the manual first, then this guide is for you. We've selected seven cameras ranging from compacts to full-frame, all of which are easy to operate.
