Building on a proven formula, the new FinePix S3000 Zoom combines simplicity and optical power in an SLR-style silver package. This digital camera guarantees all the ability of its predecessor, the immensely popular FinePix S304 Zoom, but one subtle enhancement makes it an even more tempting proposition: a video-out connection for immediate playback of images via your TV screen. The FinePix S3000 Zoom joins Fujifilm's sharp new family of compact and powerful zoom cameras. This model retains its predecessor's rugged good looks, and offers newcomers to digital photography a chance to achieve more with their camera. The new package has all the raw photographic appeal of the FinePix S304 Zoom. The celebrated six times optical zoom lens (38 - 228 mm, 35mm equivalent) gets you closer to the action, whilst the five flash modes and flexibility to move swiftly from automatic to manual control remind you how creative digital photography enables you to be. The FinePix S3000 Zoom has all this and more, giving you a lot of camera for your money.Whilst utterly at home in the bosom of the family, the FinePix S3000 Zoom is just as happy further afield. An agile out-and-about camera, it takes 4 x AA alkaline or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries and offers long battery life and low power consumption, giving you the chance to capture your desired subjects without having to recharge regularly. The FinePix S3000 Zoom also provides 320 x 240 pixel movie recording.
