It’s sort of like Burning Man meets CES, meets a giant rideable robotic spider. eatART’s eight-legged, 1,600 metal arachnid made the trip from Vancouver in order to cruise around the grounds of the Las Vegas Convention Center — and thankfully we had a great view from our CES trailer. The big bug has been kicking around since 2006, but this is its first trip to the Consumer Electronic Show. We’d tell you more, but it’s probably best to just watch the thing in action after the break.

[CES 2013] If you’re the sort of person who enjoys outdoor sports or adventures, then you probably know that using your smartphone to take photos of your activities might not be the best choice due to the relative fragile nature of our phones, which means that you’ll probably be interested in a compact camera like Fujifilm’s FinePix XP60 which as you can see in the image above, looks like it was designed to withstand a fair amount of abuse, and that’s certainly one of the features of the XP60 that Fujifilm is focusing on.

[CES 2013] The SL1000 Camera is the Fujifilm camera that has the longest zoom (50X) of the entire CES 2013 line-up of the brand. If you are into really mad numbers, you can add the digital zoom on top of that and you get to the magic number of 100X. Anyway, many people don’t really like using the digital zoom anyway, but still 50X in this case represents a 24-1200mm lens, which lets users snap a macro photo at 1″ or shoot a telephoto picture from far away.
Interestingly enough, the Aperture is also pretty good. With values ranging from f2.9 to f5.6, the camera should do well in low-light conditions, or for quick bursts of photos in bright light. The Fujifilm SL1000 features the same BSI sensor than other recently announced Fujifilm cameras at CES, so the long zoom and its industrial design are the main differentiator.
Another one is the ability to burst-capture photos at 60FPS, which means that you can snap photos fast enough to rival a video capture, which is great for action photography. Finally, the camera runs with AA batteries, and will be sold for $299.95.

[CES 2013] Fujifilm has announced its new flagship compact camera at CES: the Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR ($549.95). As you may know, Fujifilm is big into the super long zoom, and this new camera has just that: a 42X optical zoom which can be supplemented by a digital zoom, with which Fujifilm can claim an astonishing 84X overall zoom. To be honest, I don’t really use digital zoom, but for someone who doesn’t want to crop the image on a computer, I can see why that could be handy. (more…)

[CES 2013] While our smartphones are certainly capable of taking pretty amazing photographs, they still lack certain features that compact cameras have to offer, which is why if you’re in the market for a digital compact camera with a long zoom, Fujifilm might have something to offer in the form of the FinePix T550. Featuring a FUJINON 12x long zoom lens (24-288mm), Fujifilm boasts this camera as not only being friendly for your pocket or your bag, but at the same time offering up a long zoom lens which presumably will be useful for those who want the flexibility.

[CES 2013] The Fujifilm S8200 and S8300 are digital cameras that are priced to hit a mid-range price point of $299.95 and $309.95 which makes them affordable for users who are looking for a good picture quality, including in low-light, a long-zoom and a good feature-set. Of course, those cameras won’t be a champion in any of those categories, but “performance for the dollar” is the name of the game here.
And on paper, things look rather good. With an aperture of f2.9-f6.5, those cameras should provide very decent low-light photography (at minimum zoom), and if you take into account that the Fujifilm S-Series uses a backside illuminated sensor (BSI), that helps low-light photography further. (more…)

Fujifilm’s raft of FinePix cams at CES are headlined by the HS50EXR, which aims to please those who love point and shoots, but aren’t quite ready to make the pricey leap to a full-blown DSLR. The shooter captures photos at 16 megapixels, records 1080p video at 60fps and features a 3-inch tilting LCD screen. Loaded with a manual zoom lens and a 42x focal length range, the cam will arrive in March with a $550 price tag. With the device, Fujifilm is laying claim to the world’s fastest autofocus in the camera’s class at 0.5 seconds. For those who pinch their pennies a little harder, the firm is releasing the HS35EXR for $400, which drops 1080p recording to 30fps and optical zoom to 30x.
The 3-inch tilting screen theme continues with the FinePix SL1000, which carries a 16 megapixel sensor and a lens with 50x optical zoom. As for video, the shooter records 1080i footage at 60fps. March will see the camera arrive with an asking price of $400. Fujifilm’s S8300 joins the photo fray with a fixed 3-inch screen, 42x zoom, 1080i video capture at 60fps and will make its way to stores in March for $310. The S8200 packs the same video recoding features and display, but packs glass with 40x optical zoom and rings up at $300.
