Fuji FinePix F40fd 8MP Super CCD Digital Camera

Fujifilm has just announced the FinePix F40fd is an compact 8.3 megapixel digital camera that's packed with tons of features.

Aimed at both beginners and semi-professionals this camera comes with Fujifilm's Face Detection Technology which can focus on up to 10 faces no matter where they are in the frame. During playback you can also auto-zoom in to each face to make sure everyone was looking their best (with their eyes open and best smiles).

The camera runs on Fujifilm's Real Photo Processor II, comes equipped with a Super CCD HR VI, and also works well in low lighting situations and can take shots up to ISO 2000.

It is also the first in a line of cameras by Fujifilm that features an xD/SD compatible slot. Previous Fujifilm cameras supported only xD Picture cards, the F40fd is the first to also support Secure Digital (SD) cards.

Other features include 3x optical zoom, VGA (640x480) movie capture, 14 pre-programmed scene modes, IR image transfer, a 2.5 inch LCD, PictBridge direct printing support and a rechargeable Li-ion battery that can take up to 300 shots on a single charge.

The device is set for a March 2007 release and will retail for a very affordable $299.
