In Brief: Feb. 14, 2000

SHOWSTOPPER Fuji wowed crowds at the photo industry's annual conference in Las Vegas last week with the first 6.1- megapixel digital camera--nearly twice the resolution of new models from Nikon, Olympus and Sony. The FinePix S1 Pro uses Super CCD technology, which replaces standard square-shaped diodes with more compact octagonal ones for sharper, brighter pics. It's got lots of gewgaws, including multiple-exposure settings, three levels of image compression and a 2-in. liquid-crystal display. Since it won't be out until April, you have a few months to save the $4,000 it will cost.
