The Fujifilm FinePix F500 EXR provides an innovative 16-megapixel EXR CMOS sensor, high speed shooting capabilities, a 15x wide-angle zoom lens, Full HD movie functionality and an improved user interface. This camera captures Full HD movies at 30fps in H.264 (MOV) format with a stereo sound for high quality audio. For your info, H.264 (MOV) format produces file sizes that are smaller and more manageable than the conventional AVI format. What’s more, this file format is also compatible with a wide range of websites and applications, which makes it easier for users to share content on sites including YouTube. Too bad, this camera doesn’t have a GPS functionality and Raw capture. The Fujifilm FinePix F550 EXR and FinePix F500 EXR will be launched in March 2011 for US$349.95 and US$329.95, respectively.
