Fujifilm is set to unveil a new lineup of bridge cameras in the upcoming CES 2014, and one camera that caught our attention is the FinePix S1; a weather-sealed camera which offers 50-times zoom range (24-1,200).
Apart from having an incredible zoom range, the FinePix S1’s lens also comes with a respectable aperture range (f/2.8 – 5.6), not to mention a 5-axis image-stabilization which helps in minimizing blur even in slow shutter speed.
Other notable features of the FinePix S1 include a 1080p video recording, built-in WiFi chip, as well as an EVF and 3-inch Vari-angle LCD screen which both has 921K-dot resolution.
