Product Description
Finecam S5 is the world's smallest, lightest digital camera with an effective resolution of 5 million pixels and an optical 3x zoom lens. Thanks to a CCD of 5.25 million pixels for the shooting element (1/1.8 square pixels, using a primary color filter), highly precise, beautiful color reproduction has been achieved. In addition, among other cameras with an effective resolution of 5 million pixels and an optical 3x zoom lens, this product is the world's smallest and lightest. The dimensions in millimeters are: 92 (width) x 57.5 (height) x 33 (depth), and the weight excluding batteries is approximately 165 grams.Equipped with a high-resolution optical 3x zoom lens to achieve more than 200 lines/mm at the center of the projection resolution, with a focal distance ranging from 7.3 mm in the Wide-angle mode to 21.9 mm in the Telephoto mode 3, the camera enables you to shoot high-quality pictures of landscapes, ceremonies and portraits, which resembles silver-salt films in image quality. The use of four non-spherical lenses enhances the cameras' performance and enables it to be more compact. Using the optical 3x zoom in conjunction with the digital 4x zoom enables you to shoot pictures with a magnification of 12x. Digital 2x zoom is possible during playback.

Boasting the one of the smallest 5-megapixel cameras available (February 2003), the Kyocera Finecam S5 can fulfill all your digital needs. This digital camera can record video, shoot crisp pictures, voice record, and has expanded memory with the available SD-MMC slot.

With a 3x optical and 4x digital zoom, you can capture shots far away. Video in AVI format and voice memos in WAV format can be recorded up to 30 seconds at a time, and both video and photo formats can be quickly reviewed on the 1.6-inch TFT color LCD.

5 out of 5 stars What a fantastic camera.......2003-06-05

I looked around for a long time before buying a digital camera. I have friends who spend a lot of money on a band name digital camera with a few pokey features. Alternatively you can spend not much money on what is simply one of the best cameras on the market. Most people haven't heard of Kyocera, but those who have know that they make fantastic products.

Everything about this camera is fantastic and there is nothing gimicky. Most importantly you are getting a solid metal frame rather than plastic. The only hitch is the battery life but it would appear that a lot digital camera have this problem.

Truly, I don't know what else to say but you won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Great camera, great price - overall great!.......2003-04-06

I was a little apprehensive about purchasing a camera that isn't too popular here in the States but seems to be overseas. A friend living in Luxembourg told me about her S3L and sent me pictures she took with it and my boyfriend and I went for the S5. I DEFINITELY don't regret it, this camera has such ease of use, professional-quality pictures, a great price that you won't find lower anywhere else (including eBay) and looks really neat. I suppose the only negative aspect was the battery life which doesn't last as long as long as I would like it to. If you're looking for a lot of memory for your camera at a low price, check out an online store called Page Computers. I got a Lexar Secure Digital 256MB card for my Kyocera made the order on Sunday afternoon and got the card on a Tuesday morning. I can fit 197 pictures on it using the highest resolution. This is definitely a great buy.

5 out of 5 stars keyocera finecam s5 digital camera.......2003-02-24

This camera is one of the best digital cameras on the market.The price of this camera is excellant.Most 5 megapixel digital cameras start out at $..., upwards to over $....The camera takes great photos, and its ease of use is spectacular.You will need at least a 128 megabite sd card.This is because the higher the megabites, the more pictures and video you can hold.By the way,the video also has sound,most digital cameras do not have this feature.If you want a great digital camera, that won't put you in the poor house this camera is for you.I would recommend this camera to anyone from starting out,to professional for its ease of use.Great photos,great camera, and Amazon.com has the best price.BUY THIS CAMERA,you will be very satisfied.
