The FinePix 2600 Zoom is a compact and stylish 2-megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom. As with Fujifilm's recent A201 and A101 models, the FinePix 2600 Zoom is extremely easy to use while offering the color, sharpness and overall picture-quality typically associated with more expensive models. Designed specifically for picture-takers looking to take their first steps into the world of digital photography, the new FinePix 2600 Zoom expands Fujifilm's existing mid-range line up by offering the same streamlined operation as the A-series with additional picture-taking features and the same outstanding color.

Technological leaps in digital imaging have enabled Fujifilm to reduce manufacturing costs, thereby offering in these new cameras, the exceptional image quality for which Fujifilm is renowned, along with familiar point-and-shoot convenience at a more affordable price. Featuring Fujifilm's Advanced Color Technology and high-resolution megapixel CCDs, the FinePix 2600 Zoom produces beautiful images with rich, true-to-life color. User-friendly controls and Fujifilm's Internet-ready FinePixViewer software make capturing and downloading photos a snap with the cameras' convenient USB computer connectivity.
