Following the long line of award-winning FinePix F-series models, Fujifilm will showcase its latest in high quality picture taking, the FinePix F200 EXR digital camera, introducing the world to Super CCD EXR technology. Super CCD EXR technology gives the user professional photographic results. Selectable Sensor modes capture the ultimate image quality in three distinctive ways: Pixel Fusion Mode, delivering high ISO sensitivity with extremely low noise for low light environments; Dual Capture mode, using different pixel sensitivities for the highest level of detail; and Fine Capture mode, maximizing full 12-MegaPixel resolution for the sharpest, clearest images. In addition to these advances, the FinePix F200EXR includes an innovative SR AUTO automatic scene recognition feature that recognizes six different scene types and automatically selects the ideal mode, focus, sensitivity and white balance for truly remarkable pictures.

As part of the expanded and popular Z-series digital cameras for young-at-heart, trend-savvy consumers, Fujifilm will showcase the FinePix Z33WP digital camera, Fujifilm’s first waterproof camera. The FinePix Z33WP enables users to capture those precious moments, regardless of the conditions, and share them easily with their extended network of friends and family members. The 10-MegaPixel FinePix Z33WP is available in three striking colors – green, pink and black – and is ready for any adventure including underwater activity up to 10 feet. The Z33WP uses a 3x optical Fujinon zoom lens, has SR AUTO, and features a 2.7”, 230,000 pixel resolution LCD screen – the largest of any Z-series camera yet.

Another recent addition to this popular line is the FinePix Z30, the third installment of its Z-series ultra-glam cameras designed specifically for ‘Generation Z,’ the younger, tech-savvy, fashion-conscious consumer. Boasting a 2.7” LCD screen, this 10 MegaPixel camera is available in three hot colors - pink, orange, and black – has a Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens, SR AUTO, and like its predecessor the FinePix Z20, the Z30 can Face it with Face Detection Technology and Blog it with Dual Blog Mode.

The newest additions to Fujifilm’s popular FinePix J-series line-up also will also be on display at the virtual trade show. With sleek designs and powerful features, the FinePix J20 and FinePix J250 are great digital camera options that both have SR AUTO. At only 17.4mm thick, the FinePix J20 is the perfect on-the-go camera fitting easily into a shirt pocket or hand bag. Despite its size, the FinePix J20’s black metal body houses a 10 MegaPixel CCD, a 3x Fujinon optical zoom lens and a brilliant 2.7” LCD which displays images with sharpness and clarity.
