Reminiscing the good old days of the past, places where we met, and the nostalgia of film-like images as captured through the lens of a vintage 6MP CCD Fujifilm FinePix BigJob HD-3W, a ruggedized all-weather digital camera built for the construction and engineering industry. The HD-3W, introduced by FujiFilm in 2007, is still as valid today as the easy-to-use go-anywhere camera is waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, and can withstand a drop up to 70cm.
The HD-3W should fit well the needs of the sporting outdoorsman, with its wide-angle 3 x (28-84mm equivalent) optical zoom lens, a 3-inch LCD screen, ISO sensitivity of up to 1600, a shutter speed range from 2 to 1/2000 second, and buttons that are easy to use even with gloved hands. For times when a flash is needed, the built-in strobe enables a longer flash distance of up to 10 meters. For the techno, the HD-3W also features Detection of Manipulation (to check for image tempering) and CALS (takes 1MP photos for e-mail distribution) modes.
The ability to take low-noise high-quality film-like images is also enhanced on the HD-3W by the provision of a selectable emulation mode which can be set to Standard, F-Chrome, and F-B&W, with the 2 later items listed and displayed on the LCD as film roll icons. The Fujifilm FinePix BigJob HD-3W is powered by a pair (2x) of easily replaceable AA batteries.
