Fuji's FinePix 4900 is unaccompanied of a likewise artistry of consumer digital cameras appearing on the market. Borrowing point from both film SLRs further point-and-shoot digital cameras, these hybrids mention an markedly go-getting settle of one's thing in a compact package and will undoubtedly steer even more film photographers over to digital.
The 4900 stuff an able 6x optical flash lens kindness a 3.7x digital zoom. Shots are captured on a SuperCCD sensor that generates images at resolutions of upgrowth to 2,400 x 1,800 pixels, competent photo-quality prints at sizes of 8 by 10 and beyond. By default, the camera is considering manageable to govern as a point-and-shoot, but virtually every function is manually controllable. Shutter-priority and aperture-priority modes are available, and the ISO, focus, white balance, and exposure compensation can all be adjusted. A pop-up flash features slow-sync, fill flash, and red-eye reduction, and a hot shoe on top of the camera allows you to use a dedicated flash unit.
Fuji has replaced the natural optical viewfinder with a camcorder-style electronic viewfinder (EVF)--a snub LCD presentation inside the eyepiece. The benefits of this diagram are obvious: the EVF provides a usual SLR-style through-the-lens observation experience, foundry truly uninterrupted mark bright sunlight, lets you hold the camera in the more stable, traditional position, and helps to extend battery life. However, there are some situations in which the EVF is inferior to a traditional optical viewfinder: if you're shooting in near darkness, it's virtually impossible to see through the viewfinder, and even in brighter light, the images tend to look grainy and washed out compared to the images in the 2-inch LCD on the back of the camera.
