Introduction

Over the past number of years, digital cameras have gained a lot of fans in the market. Most people are choosing the filmless, lightweight, small-size, slick-looking digital cameras over the old school, bulky optical counterparts. Realizing this trend, manufacturers, like Fujifilm, have spent more money and resources on the research and development of the digital imaging technology. And recently Fujifilm has released a new product, and we are lucky to get a unit for testing.

FinePix 6900 Zoom is Fujifilm’s newest digital camera production. While sharing the same stylish look and control layout with its predecessor (the FinePix 4900 Zoom), the 6900 Zoom has improved on some critical features and specifications. Let’s take a look at its impressive specs:
