With an 18x zoom, 14 megapixel sensor, 720p HD video capture and the option of manual photographic, there's plenty of room to explore your creativity. Capture a hawk in the wild, a tiger on safari or your kids playing football in the park - the compact Fuji S2980 can do it all.
If you only have time for point-and-shoot, the Fuji S2980 digital camera can be switched to SR Auto mode for total ease of use. The combination of a high-precision Fujinon lens and 14 megapixel resolution give you stunningly pin-sharp picture quality.
Create stunning panorama photos by shooting a series of pictures and then letting the Fuji S2980 HD seamlessly stitch them together in-camera. There's also an electronic viewfinder to compliment the 3 inch LCD display.
Smile Detection automatically takes a photo as soon as a smile is detected, ensuring all your pictures are happy ones. When photographing fast moving subjects or action shots, the Tracking AF mode will lock on to moving subjects and keep them in focus.
Dual image stabilisation reduces blurring caused by hand shake, motion or low light. You can also use the Fuji FinePix S2980 to easily upload pictures and video to social networking sites.
Salient Features of Fuji FinePix S2980 Digital Camera
 
Electric powered Fujinon 18x zoom lens
The S2980 sports an impressive 28mm - 504mm high precision Fujinon optical zoom lens. Simple to operate with an electric powered zoom lever, the huge zoom range means that you can capture all the detail, even when you're at a considerable distance away. You can even operate the zoom during video shooting. Unlike a bulky D-SLR, bridge cameras allow you great versatility of zoom, without the hassle of carrying a bag of lenses.
Impressive panoramas
With its easy to use Panoramic shooting mode you can get creative on the S2980, however basic your skills, and rest assured that you will not risk shooting uneven landscapes or shaky horizons. The camera enables you to take three successive shots with a helpful tool which automatically releases the shutter once the images are fully aligned to seamlessly stitch the shots together in-camera. It's so easy and the results are impressive.
Conventional Digital Camera > FinePix S2980
The FinePix S2980's highly effective CMOS-shift and high ISO image stabilisation ensures that your shots stay extra-crisp and clear, even at the full 18x zoom.
Sharp, clear shots
Even at the longest zoom settings or in the most challenging of lighting conditions, the S2980 is able to produce crisp, clean results. With its mechanically stabilised 1/2.3", 14 megapixel CCD sensor, and high ISO sensitivity settings, Fujifilm's Dual Image Stabilisation technology combines to reduce the blurring effects of both hand-shake and subject movement to provide superb pictures.
Advanced HD capabilities for Both Movies and Stills
For the complete viewing experience, the FinePix S2980 is HD enabled and can therefore play-back both HD stills (Full HD) and movies (720p) in superb quality on any HD ready TV. It's yet to become the standard method of viewing photos, but it's certainly not to be knocked. And given that this camera has a mini HDMI port it's very quick and easy to connect it up to a HD ready TV* and play back your photos on the big screen.
*Mini HDMI cable required (not included)
Frown or blink and the picture's spoilt
Not anymore! With Fujifilm's Smile and Shoot mode the camera can recognise the exact moment your subject smiles and releases the shutter only when this happens, ensuring that all your photos are happy ones!
Facebook/YouTube Easy Web Upload
Fujifilm's Easy Web Upload function allows you, in-camera, to tag pictures for speedy upload to Facebook and YouTube once you connect to a PC and launch MyFinePix Studio. A great time saver, it allows you to organise your photos when you're on the move!
Preserve your memories for longer by creating a Photobook!
The S2980 allows you to select in-camera the images you want to feature in your Photobook; this task is particularly simple if you have already star-rated your favourite photos! You literally tag the images that you want to have in your photo book & select which one you want for the front page and then when you are ready to order the book it's a much quicker, easier task. You can also simply enjoy viewing the selected images in an in-camera Photobook with pages that turn! Great fun.
