The Finecam S3L is an expansion to Kyocera's Finecam S3 that we reviewed run on year. On the outside sincere is virtually characteristic until you makeup absolute on further assent to a 3x optical streak lens extend, the S3 has a 2x optical zoom. Another thing you'll notice when it's turned on, the popup flash opens automatically and closes when powered down. It's wrapped in the same stylish and highly durable stainless steel case, no plastic here except for the I/O port cover and the battery door.
The S3L is powered by a supplementary dynamic 1000mAh lithium rechargeable club that is annoyed in-camera. The society is the commensurate size as a wand of chewing pulp although fatter, again runs the length of the bottom of the camera. Kyocera rates the runtime at about 160 shots, half using the flash so it's not bad for a tiny battery. As always, we highly recommend that you purchase a spare battery, it's proprietary so you can't use any type of "off the shelf" batteries. It takes a good two and a half hours for the charger/AC power supply to bring the pack up to full charge. Another upgrade is the "Day Fine" color LCD that has a nice anti-glare coating and increased brightness and contrast. We liked the anti-glare coating but didn't think it did any better or worse than most of the other color LCDs that we have tried in our afternoon Florida sunshine. When the camera is powered up the color LCD comes on by default as it's the only information display to let you know what the current settings are.
