Fujifilm A-Series Gains A100 & A150 Compact Digital Cameras

Having only just covered the up and coming availability of Fujifilm’s new FinePix F200EXR digital camera (which serves to raise the bar in terms of image quality that’s to employing Fujifilm’s new, ground-breaking Super CCD EXR technology) up pop another two compact cameras from Fujifilm adding to it’s a-Series range of compacts in the form of the Fujifilm A100 and A150.

Coming in at the opposite end of the spectrum to the aforementioned FinePix F200EXR, the Fujifilm A100 and A150 compact cameras are touted as being ‘fun, easy-to-use compact cameras’ that are aimed specifically at consumers that ‘want a camera that’s easy on the wallet, high on performance and user-friendly, but don’t want to be confused by too many functions and settings’.

Both the Fujifilm A100 and A150 offer the same 10 megapixel sensors paired with 3x optical zoom as well as 20MB of in built storage and, as befits a compact aimed specifically at the point and shoot fraternity, both come with a host of auto pre-programmed scene modes – 14 to be exact – as well as Face Detection (no indication from Fujifilm’s press release as to how many faces either cameras are capable of recognising in a single scene), auto red-eye removal and picture stabilisation. Both additionally offer QVGA video capture capabilities with sound at 30fps.

In terms of defining features, the only apparent difference between the Fujifilm A100 and A150 appears to be the size of the integrated LCD displays – the A150 sporting a 3″ screen whilst the A100’s display comes in at just 2.7″.

No word as yet concerning either pricing or availability, but its safe to assume that neither will strain the finances.
