Fujifilm has released the FinePix S5600 Zoom, the third generation of its mini SLR-style digital cameras with long zoom lens. The camera offers a 10x optical zoom and Anti-Blur Mode along with fujifilm's new 5th Generation five megapixel Super CCD HR sensor.

The cameras sensitivity range is from ISO 64 to ISO 1600, while the Anti-Blur Mode, which exploits the camera's exceptional ISO capabilities, reduces blurring caused by movement of the user, as well as movement blur caused by the subject.

The camera's impressive 10x optical zoom has a fixed lens housing and covers all settings from wide to telephoto.

The FinePix S5600 Zoom features a high-speed start up time of just 1.1 seconds and shutter lag has been minimised to 0.01 seconds.
