Fujifilm FinePix F80EXR and Z700EXR

Fujifilm makes more advances with the FinePix F80EXR and Z700EXR digital cameras, where the former offers 12-megapixels of goodness alongside a 10x optical zoom, a 3″ LCD display, 720p HD movie capture, face recognition, auto picture rotation and something that we’ve not come across until today – Pet Detection mode. Well, basically pets here narrow down to just a cat or a dog, so those who keep other exotic lifestock shouldn’t feel discriminated against. With Pet Detection turned on, it will “recognize” your furry friend by modifying shooting conditions in order to obtain the best possible image with each shot. As for the Z700EXR, its most interesting aspect (apart from the Pet Detection mode) would be a 3.5″ touchscreen display, although expect that feature to drain your battery faster than usual. No word on pricing or availability for either at press time, bummer.
