Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Fuji’s camera division head honcho spoke out in an interview with Reuters, noting that the company has some lofty goals to be the No. 3 camera maker ahead of Samsung and Nikon. To get to that point, Fuji will re-enter the interchangeable lens camera market with new “luxury” mirrorless models and dedicated lenses developed in house. [Read more…]
Fuji has made quite a show of its APS-C format, fixed lens X100 camera. Today, Fuji dropped what should be its final press release on the X100, detailing availability, price and full spec list.
The 12.3MP Fuji X100 should be available in March 2011 at an initial retail price of $1199.95. Check availability at B&H Photo and Amazon.com.

The Fuji HS10 is one of the most anticipated cameras for this Spring – at least according to the questions I’ve received about this camera via email, comments and Facebook messages. The HS10 features a 10MP sensor and a 30x zoom range (24-720mm equivalent). It also shoots 1080p HD video and has an impressive image stabilization system.
Good news for those of you waiting, because the Fuji HS10 finally appears to be in stock at online retailers.
B&H Photo has three different ways to order the HS10. You can get the camera only, a basic accessory kit with the camera or the camera with a deluxe accessory kit. The basic kit includes two 4GB SanDisk SD cards and Lowepro case, while the deluxe kit includes the same items, along with 4 rechargeable AA batteries, a charger and a 2-year protection plan.

Also, note that B&H doesn’t take pre-orders, so chances are pretty good that when it says “In Stock” at B&H, the camera really is in stock.
Note that Amazon is saying it will be in stock on Tuesday (but they’re taking orders now).
Adorama is also offering the camera on its own, as well as a couple of different kits; however, at the time of this post Adorama is still listing the camera as back-ordered. These should open up soon as well.

PhotographyBLOG has published a review of the Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD.
Factor in that this is a user-friendly model in size, shape, features and performance, and for those who want a lot of camera for relatively little outlay, the Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD would seem to fit the bill nicely.
Imaging Resource has posted a review of the 10 megapixel Fujifilm FinePix Z20fd.
The Fujifilm FinePix Z20fd is small and fun, and offers good capability for its tiny size. The 10-megapixel CCD picks up a lot of fine detail, and both color and exposure performance are generally good. Noise handling isn’t great at the highest sensitivity settings, but results are fine at the normal ISOs.
