Two new digital cameras from FujiFilm
Sep 7, 2000 at 04:00:00 GMT
Two new cameras from FujiFilm are seemingly upgrades to older models, the FinePix 2400 (September sale) replacing the 1400 now with a 2 megapixel CCD and the FinePix 1300 (October sale) now replacing the old MX-1200 now with USB and several enhancements. Interestingly neither of these new digital cameras use the SuperCCD.
FujiFilm are slowly phasing out the old "MX" name and updating it with the newer FinePix label, they're also updating older models with USB and higher resolution. Pricing for these new cameras is as yet unavailable.
UPDATE: Samples from the FinePix 2400 are available here
