Fujifilm recently announced the latest additions to its range of J-series compacts, the FinePix J100, J110W, J120 and J150W. The FinePix J100 range offers a 10 Megapixel CCD sensor and a 5x optical zoom lens, but varies in the LCD size and lens for maximum choice.The FinePix J110W and J150W offer a focal range of 28mm-140mm, making it ideal for a range of photographic subjects. For those who worry less about wide shots and prefer a greater telephoto reach - for candid portrait photography or for general travel photography – the telephoto range of the FinePix J100 and J120 is extended to 175mm (starting at the standard 35mm) pulling the furthest subjects nearer.

The FinePix J100 and J110W have a 2.7-inch LCD screen and the FinePix J150W and J120 offer a slightly bigger 3-inch LCD screen. All screens are high quality 230,000 pixel, amorphous silicon TFT LCDs.

Despite the higher quality 5x zoom optic, the FinePix J100 series cameras are slim at only 22.6mm wide, and are encased in a brushed aluminum metal shell. The FinePix J100 series comes with a rechargeable NP-45 lithium-ion battery and CP-45 charger.

In addition, the new J-series cameras offer high ISO sensitivity to 1600, software-based Face Detection with auto red-eye removal, Picture Stabilization, Continuous Shooting, 13 different shooting programs (Landscape, Sport, Night, Natural Light, Fireworks, Beach, Snow, Sunset, Flower, Party, Museum, Text, Manual) and an internal memory of 24MB.

Pricing and availability will be known soon.
