Feature Happy
Despite being only 20.0mm thick, the 10-MegaPixel FinePix Z200fd touts cutting-edge technology and advanced features including a Fujinon 5x optical zoom lens, a high-resolution, scratch-resistant 2.7" LCD and sensitivity settings of up to ISO 1600 that enable partygoers to take beautiful, natural-looking images without flash, retaining the atmosphere of twilight and late-night events.
Featuring Fujifilm's acclaimed Face Detection Technology, now working in tandem with automatic red-eye removal, the FinePix Z200fd makes it easy to capture your friends' good sides. At the press of a button, this mode identifies up to 10 human faces in a scene, and sets the correct focus and exposure, regardless of where subjects are located within the frame. The FinePix Z200fd then instantly checks each detected face for red eye, and if found, corrects it automatically in the camera, avoiding the process of editing later.
Timing Is Everything
The FinePix Z200fd debuts Fujifilm's new Couple Timer Mode and Group Timer Mode, ensuring you can appear in every shot you take, even when there's no-one else around to take the picture! Working in conjunction with Face Detection Technology, these self-timer modes automatically capture the image when the camera has detected faces in a frame.
Couple Timer Mode detects two faces in a frame and will automatically take the picture as the two faces come closer together. This mode has three settings so users can set the timer to detect faces at specific distances, depending on how close you really are!
Group Timer Mode automatically sets the timer to take the shot when up to four faces have been detected in the frame. Users can simply select the number of faces in the frame, and then jump in front of the camera to pose with the group – ensuring that you appear in the stunning shots you take with the Z200fd.

Fuji brings FinePix Z200fd to the US
Facing competition Nokia begins to slash phone prices
Recent reports are claiming that Nokia has begun to make some price cuts on
selected music and media phones, in some cases up to 10-percent. In addition to
the selected music and media models, Nokia has also made some smaller price cuts
across the rest of their models. The Nokia 5310 and 5610 music phones as well as
the 8GB N81 saw the largest cuts.
These price cuts come as a response to increased competition in the mobile
phone market, however Nokia still holds a solid 40 percent overall, and this
news will just make it a little tougher on some of their competition.
Ben Wood, research director at CCS Insight stated that “Nokia has always been
extremely tactical with its pricing, pinpointing sweet spots in different
segments of the market and making adjustments to wrongfoot competitors.” This
means that things may just get a little tougher for rivals such as Sony
Ericsson, who already made almost no money during the April-June quarter and
actually cut 2,000 jobs in response.
Cheuvreux analyst David Hallden referred to this move as a ‘Crazy Ivan’ and
feels that this was just “a way to run away from competition.”
In addition to the cuts from Nokia we have even seen some carriers slash
pricing on Nokia handsets. Rogers Wireless recently cut the price of the 8GB N95
in half in an effort to make it more attractive as compared to the newly release
iPhone 3G.
