Optics that outclass the competition
The highlight of these SL-series have to be the cameras' Fujinon
optical zoom lenses, with the SL-series offering high-quality 30x, 28x,
26x, 24x optical zoom.
These zoom ranges make these cameras ideal for travelers looking to record their adventures, sports fans keen to capture their teams on camera or any photographer looking for a step-up from their current bridge camera. Plus, with a close-focus distance of 2 cm, users can also pick out precise close-up details, too. These zoom lenses offer for smooth zooming and precise framing of scenes, and an additional zoom lever (side lever) on the barrel of the lens gives users the ability to zoom in and out without taking their hands from the camera — guaranteeing that they'll never miss their desired shot.

Image quality to match the lens range
Each camera houses a 1/2.3-inch 14 mega-pixel CCD sensor, which
represents the very latest in Fujifilm's award-winning imaging
technology. These powerful sensors are optimized to work perfectly with
the zoom lenses, ensuring all the detail in a scene is captured with
exceptional clarity. To assist in low-light situations or when shooting
handheld, these SL-series offer a maximum ISO rating of ISO 6400*2
for maximizing available light and ensuring that shutter speeds are
fast enough to capture action without blurring. Sensor-shift digital
image stabilization is offered by both devices and applies the latest in
image enhancing processes to bring out detail and preserve the finer
points of a picture. For additional illumination, these SL-series
feature powerful internal flash that will reach subjects up to 7 m away,
plus they also have a hot-shoe for connecting separate external flash
to add professional lighting capabilities to an already impressive list
of features.

See the whole picture
These SL-series boast a 3-inch LCD screen that offers 460,000 dots
and an ultra-wide 160 degree viewing angle. This means they're not only
clearer to see when composing pictures — the super-bright screens make
playback and reviewing movies and stills easier and more enjoyable.
These SL-series also have electronic viewfinders (EVF) that offer the
200,000 dots screens, so users can be assured that they're seeing a good
representation of what the camera will capture as a still image or
movie. The EVF also now benefit from the addition of a diopter
adjustment, making it much easier for spectacle wearers to look through
the viewfinder.
Improved performance
These SL-series range of cameras is renowned for performance and
reliability, but these bridge cameras have been optimized and redesigned
to offer Fujifilm's best ever shooting experience. In addition to the
new technological features offered by these SL-series cameras, they have
been optimized for faster start-up, improved speed of AF and an
upgraded response time. All this combines to ensure that users won't
miss a shot. Even the power supply of these cameras has been
re-engineered — they run on Lithium-ion batteries that can capture up to
300 frames on a single charge.
Creative possibilities
For times when users want to go beyond the still image, these
SL-series is capable of capturing 720p HD movie at 30 fps. A mini HDMI
output port enables both cameras to be quickly connected to HDTV so
users can enjoy watching their movies back on the big screen. Still
images can also be reviewed in this way, showcasing those edge-to-edge
image definitions.
Professional look and feel
These SL-series has cosmetic features and design flourishes that are
strongly reminiscent of DSLRs and other pro-level cameras. These have
been designed with a rubberized coating to make them comfortable in the
hands for extended shooting sessions, but also offer the reassuring
build quality expected from a premium camera. The cameras' buttons are
ergonomically located and the metal-like finish completes the overall
appeal — either will delight both the beginner and the enthusiast
photographer.
