FujiFilm Fuji A820/A900 Digital Camera

A 9 megapixel CCD, 4x optical zoom, picture stabilization, and support for light sensitivities of up to ISO 800...

Less than a year ago, specs like this would have only made it to a high-end prosumer digital camera. But all that's changing...today at the annual Photo Marketing Association Annual Show in Las Vegas FujiFilm announced two entry-level cameras with those specs.

The FinePix A820 and A900 are both entry-level cameras with first time buyers in mind. Both cameras feature a new icon-based graphical user interface for easier switching between 16 pre-programmed scene modes, and access to camera controls, and advanced features such as picture stabilization and Irsimple technology.

Both cameras feature a 2.5 inch anti-glare LCD screen, QVGA (320x240) video recording in AVI format, 10MB or Internal Storage and support for up to 2GB of external memory via either xD or SD cards.

The A820 comes with an 8 megapixel CCD while the A900 a 9 megapixel lens. Both cameras will debut in May 2007 with retail prices of $179.95 and $199.95 respectively.
