THE KYOCERA FINECAM S4
In digital photography quality is the key word. For those looking for image quality that approaches that of "pro-sumer" digital cameras, but in a package they can afford, with style to be envied, there is the Kyocera Finecam S4. This stylish camera includes a 3X optical zoom lens and a 2X digital zoom lens, giving the user a total of 5X zoom for getting up close and personal in any situation. This translates to the 35mm equivalent of a 35-105mm lens. A pop-up flash, new to the Finecam series, means that every picture has the right exposure, daytime or night, making the S4 perfect for any kind of photography and with dimensions of 3-3/8" by 2-3/16" by 1-3/16", this 4 megapixel digital camera takes images that can be blown up to 11" by 17" without any loss of quality while its body is barely bigger than a deck of cards. With a dark finish reminiscent of a Pierre Cardin tuxedo, this elegant digital camera is at home at the finest parties while the stainless steel body means that the Finecam S4 is sturdy enough to go just about anywhere.

The S4 uses either Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia Cards (MMC) as memory, the same media cards used in MP3 players and PDAs. These cards presently are available up to 256MB, holding well over 500 images in normal mode. The memory cards download images to any PC via the included USB cable. When hooked up to any computer, it is read as a separate drive making viewing of images taken by any of the Finecam digital cameras simple and fast.

The selectable color LCD monitor available with both Finecams allows users to not only set up a picture, but also view the image directly after it is taken to check for closed eyes or other problems that can ruin an otherwise great shot. The image can then be erased and re-shot in just seconds, insuring a great picture every time. The monitor can also be turned off to save battery life.

Both the Finecam S4 and S3x feature Epson's revolutionary new PRINT Image Matching (PIM) technology, enabling it to work perfectly with the newest generation of EPSON Stylus Photo printers. With PRINT Image Matching, critical image specific parameters for printing are recorded by the camera and saved in each image data file. PRINT Image Matching-enabled Epson Stylus Photo printers use this information to ensure that they accurately reproduce the image created by the camera.

The new Finecam digital cameras also have an AVI movie mode, allowing users to make movies of up to 15 seconds. The AVI file format can be played back on the cameras themselves or on a PC, using Quick Time 4 or above. The Finecam series offers an array of shooting and flash modes, including:
· Macro, which allows shooting approximately 9 cm from the lens surface when in wide angle
· Infinity Mode
· Manual focusing
· 4 Flash modes (Auto, Red-eye reduction, Fill-in or Flash Off)
· Color modes (Color, Sepia or Black & White)
· White Balance (Auto, Daylight, Tungsten Lamp, Cloudy, Fluorescent Lamp, Manual)
· Exposure compensation (+ - 2EV, 1/3 EV steps)

Both cameras are built with a durable metal cover that provides not only a smooth feeling for the user but long-lasting protection for the camera itself. Protecting the lens is a built-in auto lens barrier, which allows for usage without fear of losing or forgetting to remove the lens cap. The cameras also come with a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery that helps to protect the environment as well as ArcSoft's new Pixela Software. Also available is an optional one-hour Quick Time battery charger that helps ensure that you will never be without power for your Finecam.
