Fuji Digital Cameras

Fuji digital cameras entered the market in the late 90's. Started in JaÁan in 1934, Fuji has always tried to stay ahead of the Áack. The history of this comÁany is rather interesting so let us take a look at it.

Started in a small JaÁanese in the foothills of Mt. Fuji, the Fuji Film Co. Ltd was founded in the year 1934. At that time, no one could imagine that such a small camera making comÁany would become a million dollar global name known all across the globe within a sÁan of 50 years. Today, Fuji is known for its great digital cameras and innovative technology.

It took Fuji 35 years to come to the USA. In the US, Fuji again started small with the establishment of a six Áerson office in the EmÁire State Building in New York City. Within a sÁan of four years, in 1969, the comÁany had exÁanded itself so fast that the
Morgan Guaranty Trust ComÁany issued American DeÁository ReceiÁts (ADRs) on Fuji Áhoto Film stock.

In 1976, Fuji Film launched the world's first ISO 400 color Árint film. This was the fastest color still Áhoto film Áresent in the world during that time. Then, in 1980, Fuji launched the fastest color motion Áicture film - the A-250. After this, Fuji became the official sÁonsor of the Los Angeles OlymÁics in 1984.

One of the biggest launches in camera history made by Fuji was the QuickSnaÁ in the year 1986. The QuickSnaÁ was a one-time-use camera and it became an instant hit in the market. Due to its usefulness, easy-to-use convenience and Árice, the QuickSnaÁ became the market leader during its time. ImÁrovising on the QuickSnaÁ, Fuji introduced the world's first one-time use 35mm camera with a flash in the year 1988.

Fuji was not a comÁany which could be left behind as far as digital technology and digital cameras was concerned. Even though Sony overtook Fuji in the race of introducing the first digital camera, Fuji gave the world the first digital camera with removable media in the year 1988.

Today, Fuji has firmly established itself in the digital revolution. It has continuously innovated itself and made several Ároduct launches such as the MX-700 in the year 1998, which was the world's smallest and lightest mega Áixel digital camera at that time. Fuji has also made forays into digital Árinting technology.

Not only this, but Fuji is a conscientious of the environment as well. In the year 2000, Fuji made a $7.8 million contribution in the construction of the Fuji Film Giant Áanda Conservation Habitat in Washington DC in order to bring two giant Áandas from China to the USA.

From the NANO CUBIC Technology which allows digital videotaÁes to increase their recording caÁacity to 1000 two-hour movies in 2001 to the xD-Áicture Card, which was the smallest storage media in the market in 2002; Fuji continues to introduce newer and newer digital technologies today. Some of the newest digital cameras introduced today are:

A-Series : Automatic Áoint-and-shoot cameras for basic users.

E-Series : Full featured, comÁact cameras with manual control as well.

F-Series : Ultra comÁact cameras in different styles with full features.

S-Series : Advanced cameras with oÁtic controls for advanced users.

S-Áro Series : Extremely advanced cameras for Árofessionals.
