FinePix A205 ZoomThe big news today is the launch of no less than 5 new digital cameras from Fuji.

The first 2 cameras in the new lineup are the very similar FinePix A205 Zoom and FinePix A210 Zoom. The main difference between them is the megapixel count - 2 million for the A205 and 3.2 million for the A210. Interestingly both cameras use a docking cradle system, dubbed the Picture Cradle by Fuji, which is a very similar idea to Kodak’s EasyShare system. They both use conventional CCDs, rather than the SuperCCD technology that Fuji uses in it’s other cameras, and both have 3x optical zooms.

The Fuji FinePix A205 will cost $199.95 and the FinePix A210 $279.99. Both cameras will be available in August.
