ELMSFORD, NY, August 26, 1999 - Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc. today unveiled the new pocketable 1.5 megapixel MX-1700 ZOOM.
Similar in size and design to its MX-700 and MX-2700 predecessors, the MX-1700 ZOOM has an improved 1.5-million pixel CCD with RGB color filters along with a newly crafted all-glass, miniature aspherical zoom lens. The results of these features are outstanding image quality and superb color reproduction, both hallmarks of Fujifilm digital cameras.
The MX-1700 ZOOM will be the first digital camera of its kind to have an all-glass aspherical zoom lens.
