According to the analysis of user trend in Japan for the most popular camera sales ranking from 8/13 to 8/19. The Fuji FinePix F31fd camera took the #1 spot for 2 weeks, it is the first pocketable digital camera to feature hardware-based Face Detection technology. Face Detection has great impact on people photography, ensuring the camera automatically focuses on and exposes for faces, rather than details that can confuse other cameras. Coping with up to ten faces in a frame, it ensures photos of friends and family are crisp, clear and perfectly exposed no matter what the occasion.
Ricoh “Caplio R6″ camera was in #1 position for more than 4 weeks, now pushed down to number two. The camera features a 7.1x zoom and Ricoh’s CCD-shift vibration correction, adding a larger 2.7-inch LCD and face-detection technology.
Number three is Nikon Coolpix P5000, jumped from previous number 8 position. The camera is the latest addition to Nikon’s “performance” series of P&S cameras features a 10 megapixel sensor, a 3.5X Nikon optical zoom lens that provides a 35mm film equivalent focal range of 36 to 126mm, and a 2.5 inch LCD monitor in addition to an optical viewfinder. Most significantly, the camera offers aperture priority, shutter priority and manual exposure modes as well as auto and 16 scene mode options. All this along with Nikon’s Vibration Reduction (VR) system and a flash hot shoe are packaged into a magnesium-alloy camera body about the size of a deck of cards.
