Fuji have also been busy, despite their recent problems with sourcing enough CCDs to meet the growing demand for digital cameras. The FinePix A210 Zoom is “a simple, straightforward entry-level digital camera. With 3.2 Mp and 3x zoom, the FinePix A210 Zoom is an impressive, yet affordable, choice for anyone moving on from a no-frills, compact film camera to take their first steps into digital photography”, according to Fuji anyway. Price has yet to be announced.
