Press Release:
FUJIFILM Corporation (President and CEO: Shigetaka Komori) is delighted to announce that the award-winning Super CCD EXR sensor has been crowned “European Digital Imaging Innovation 2009-2010” by judges at the esteemed European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) awards.
EISA judges were very impressed with the level of innovation and multiple application of the new technology. Commenting about the award, the EISA jury said: “Fujifilm’s new Super CCD EXR sensor has been designed to adjust its behaviour according to the condition in which it is being used so it can deliver the user the best quality for any situation. The sensor has three different shooting modes that can be either selected manually by the user or left to the camera to automatically choose which suits the occasion. In high resolution (HR) mode the sensor uses all its pixels to render the finest details of the scene, while a high sensitivity (SN) mode it uses pixel-coupling technology to produce images with low noise levels in very low light conditions. A further high dynamic range (DR) mode combines two exposures to deal with high contrast situations.”
This highly prestigious award from EISA coincides with Fujifilm’s recent announcement of an addition to the EXR line-up. In a winning combination of style & technology, the NEW, compact FinePix F70EXR will be the world’s smallest 10x zoom digital camera
Press Release:
FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Shigetaka Komori; hereafter, Fujifilm) has developed a new transparent conductive film “EXCLEAR” for use in displays and touch-panels, offering a high level of transmittance, flexible performance and a wide range of sheet resistance, incorporating silver halide photographic technologies. Fujifilm has started distributing samples in a lead-up to its commercial launch scheduled for this autumn.

Press Release:
LAS VEGAS (PMA #F171), March 2, 2009 – Sony is spotlighting its first digital still camera to feature sweep panorama technology here at the Photo Marketing Association confab. The new HX1 Cyber-shot model can take 224-degree panorama shots in one easy press-and-sweep motion.
It is also the company’s first Cyber-shot camera to use the exclusive 1/2.4-inch Exmor™ CMOS sensor technology. This technology allows it to achieve burst speeds of 10 frames per second at full 9.1 megapixel resolution in continuous burst mode.
Setting it apart from most digital still cameras, which use an electronic shutter to achieve high speed, the HX1 unit has a mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion when shooting a moving subject.

Ricoh announces the CXI New Smooth Imaging Engine IV+CMOS sensor
20th February 2009
Press Release:
Tokyo, Japan, February 19, 2009—Ricoh Co., Ltd. (president and CEO: Shiro Kondo) today announced the release of the CX1. The CX1 features the highly evolved image processing engine Smooth Imaging Engine IV together with a CMOS sensor that enables high-speed image processing. For maximum enhancement of image beauty, the CX1 has the imaging power to brilliantly isolate one instant in time, and for high-sensitivity shooting it achieves sharp resolution and noise reduction without compromising colour reproduction. The CX1’s expanded dynamic range of 12 EV equivalent makes it possible to capture high-contrast scenes in a way not possible with earlier models. (more…)

XDepth 48 Announced
29th October 2008
From XDepth:
XDepth 48 technology allows standard Jpeg images to reach a maximum of 16 bit for each RGB component. XDepth 48 employs the same image reconstruction algorithm offered with XDepth Raw, thus avoiding common Jpeg and Jpeg2000 artifacts. On the XDepth 48 mini-site you can learn more about our 48 bit/pixel jpeg-compatible image compression technology.
