Fujifilm's 2001 Porsche-designed vertical compact — 2.4MP SuperCCD, f/2.8 36-108mm zoom, SmartMedia
The Fujifilm FinePix 4800 Zoom was a vertical-format compact announced in February 2001 alongside the FinePix 6800 Zoom, both using the distinctive upright body style conceived by F. A. Porsche's design studio and derived from Fujifilm's earlier 700-series. It carried the 2.4-megapixel SuperCCD from the FinePix 4900 Zoom and sat below the 6800 in the range at a $699 launch price.
Specifications: a 1/1.7in 2.4-megapixel SuperCCD producing interpolated images up to 2400x1800, an f/2.8-4.5 Super EBC Fujinon 3x aspherical zoom equivalent to 36-108mm, contrast-detection autofocus with macro to about 20cm, ISO 125-400, shutter speeds from 1/4 to 1/2000s (to 3s in night mode), a 2.0in 130k-pixel LCD plus optical viewfinder, 320x240 motion JPEG video at 10fps with sound, SmartMedia storage (16MB bundled, 128MB maximum) and a proprietary NP-80 lithium-ion battery recharged in the supplied cradle.
The all-metal upright body is the character piece here: it handles more like a phone than a conventional camera and still draws attention from collectors of Porsche-designed Fujifilm compacts. The fast f/2.8 wide end and SuperCCD colour were strengths in 2001; today it is a period piece for early-digital enthusiasts rather than a practical shooter.
Used buyers should treat the accessory bundle as half the value: the NP-80 battery and the charging cradle (or a compatible external charger) are essential, and SmartMedia cards are long discontinued, small in capacity and increasingly expensive, so an included working card matters. Check the pop-up flash, LCD and card-slot contacts, and expect the twenty-plus-year-old battery to need replacement.
