Fujifilm introduces latest 'F' range camera to build on the international success of the FinePix F10 Zoom
Fujifilm today announces the launch of the FinePix F11 Zoom. This new camera sits alongside EISA Pocket Camera of the Year, the FinePix F10 Zoom – which achieved best-seller status - in Fujifilm's high quality compact range. The new model builds upon the FinePix F10 Zoom's success by adding improved functionality and manual shooting options for increased creativity.
This 6.3 megapixel camera is set to become renowned for the picture quality excellence already demonstrated by the FinePix F10 Zoom. In addition, it has been bestowed with aperture priority and shutter priority modes, giving scope for a level of creativity and photographic control that will appeal to photography enthusiasts.
The FinePix F11 Zoom features market-leading sensitivity of ISO 80-1600, thanks to Fujifilm's 'Real Photo Processor' technology. This gives startlingly clean images, whether composing shots in bright sunshine, in low light or indoors without flash. The refined Super CCD sensor features the octagonal photodiodes pioneered by Fujifilm, which receive light more efficiently than traditional photodiode patterns.
The camera also features a higher resolution 2.5“ LCD screen, boasting an impressive 153,000 pixels – helpful when composing shots or viewing images in playback mode. The focus response of the macro mode has been improved, enabling accurate, satisfying close-up photography at distances as close as five centimetres.
Furthermore, the FinePix F11 Zoom is a camera with longevity, delivering around 500 shots on a single battery charge – making it the perfect model for photographers travelling or those on intense photo shoots.

Adrian Clarke, Director of Photo Products, Fujifilm, said, ”The performance of the FinePix F10 Zoom grabbed people’s attention as soon as it launched. It has been a hugely successful camera for Fujifilm around the world, and this overwhelming demand persuaded us to introduce a second model with additional photographic control – for those wanting to be a little more creative. In particular, the high ISO of 1600 will be something that people will relish experimenting with.“

PhotographyBLOG reviews the Fujifilm Finepix F11 and writes - 'The Fujifilm Finepix F11 is a pocketable, responsive digital camera that can be used in most photographic situations and which delivers fantastic images. Its main strength is the combination of amazing performance at ISO 800 and 1600 with almost full creative control via the aperture-priority and shutter-priority modes. The Fujifilm Finepix F11 will appeal to anyone who is looking for the ability to shoot in low-light with or without flash, whilst retaining control over the picture making process, all in a form factor that can fit into a pocket and be carried at all times.'
Pocket Lint reviews the Fuji FinePix F11 digital camera and give it a rating of 8 out of 10. They write - 'Menu niggles aside then, the F11 is definite improvement over the F10 thanks to the new manual control and the good image quality and handling. Battery life is superb so if it’s a compact, stylish high-resolution digital camera your after, at £299.99, the F11 is one that should be very high on your hit list indeed. '
DC Views reviews the Fuji Finepix F11 and writes - 'The Finepix F11 is a fairly compact and durable camera. With the exception of the plastic battery door and tripod mount it is entirely made of metal. Usability is excellent with nice positive controls that are easy to operate. While the camera can be used by the whole family as an easy to use point and shoot, the true enthusiast will still find enough advanced features to satisfy his or her creativity.'
Trusted Reviews have posted their review of the Fujifilm Finepix F11 and write - 'Since the F11 has the same optics, CCD and image processing system as the F10 it’s no surprise that its image quality is identical, which is to say very good indeed.... Like the F10, the F11 is a very good camera, offering unrivalled high-ISO performance, superior build quality and handling, generally good picture quality and excellent value for money. The addition of manual exposure options and a better monitor just makes it that little bit more tempting.'
