Capture

Fujifilm means digital. But it also stands for quality, innovation and style -- evident in the current line up of Fujifilm digital cameras on display at CES 2005. These cameras include the FinePix A330, the perfect camera for the entry-level digital shooter who wants ease-of-use simplicity without sacrificing quality; the versatile FinePix E550, arguably the fastest point-and-shoot digital camera that starts up in a second and virtually eliminates shutter lag; the sleek and trendy FinePix F450, which has garnered several top media awards for its good looks and high performance; the long-zoomed (10x optical), SLR-styled FinePix S5100, and the flagship FinePix S3 Pro with breakthrough Fujifilm imaging technology that captures more detail in high-contrast scenes than any other digital camera in its class.

Every year billions of recordable DVD discs are sold worldwide.
