Overall it’s a nice camera worth buying if you don’t want to go up to an SLR just yet. It’s feels nice in your hand and is well balanced. The buttons are placed logically and are easy to use. It takes xD or Compact Flash and you can have both in the camera at the same time so you could carry all the storage you need in camera. It uses 4 AA batteries and these last a decent amount of time.

FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc. is pleased to announce plans to re-introduce an ISO 50 Fujichrome Velvia professional film, tentatively named Velvia II.

Available in three colors, Raspberry Red, Mocha Brown and Silver, the FinePix Z5fd becomes the flagship in Fujifilm’s ultra-slim, style-compact line-up alongside the FinePix Z3 and Z2. With 3x optical zoom, 6.3 Megapixels, ISO 1600, Intelligent Flash and new blog mode; plus Fujifilm’s unique Super CCD HR and RP Processor II, the camera’s diminutive size and chic outer-shell look at odds with the amount of technology at its heart.

The FinePix S6000fd ($499) is really the combination of two of their most popular models. It takes the “guts” from the FinePix F30 and puts them into something resembling the FinePix S9000/S9100. The result is an ultra zoom camera with a 6.3 Megapixel SuperCCD sensor that produces less noise than regular CCDs, giving this camera that potential to be the low light king in its class....
