New Fuji FinePix cameras

Fujifilm today released three new FinePix cameras with better image quality and improved storage with a hybrid card slot that accepts both Fujifilm's own xD-PictureCard format and the SD media. The 8.3-megapixel F40fd is the company's latest point-and-shoot camera to feature face detection, boasting the ability to identify and focus on as many as 10 faces at once, according to Electronista. The sixth-generation CCD and processor combination produces up to ISO 2000 sensitivty, while image stabilization and intelligent flash ensure sharp, properly lit pictures, according to the report. The company also updated its entry-level A-series of digital cameras. The A800 uses the same sensor as the F40fd but relies on a simpler, less expensive design, while the A610 uses a more modest 6.3-megapixel sensor. All three models will be available in March for prices of $130 (A610), $180 (A800), and $300 (F40fd). [report offers photos]
