- Similar design style to the Japanese-only FinePix 4500 digital camera; 27.5 mm thick
- Blue LEDs in the camera's hand-grip indicate when it is powered on, and when the self-timer is activated
- Camera dock with USB connectivity and in-camera battery recharging will be available as an option
- Will sell in Japan from June 19th at a price of ¥64,800 (US$522; €557; £357 - conversion doesn't take into account exchange rate fluctuations, sales and import taxes and duties, etc.)
At this time, we've no information as to whether this camera will be available outside of Japan. Watch this space for more news as we can provide it...
