Fujifilm's F80EXR is one of two newest additions to its line-up of highly advanced compact digital cameras with proprietary and award-winning EXR technology. Modeled on the human eye, the Super CCD EXR sensor maximizes image quality, adjusting instinctively to all lighting and scene conditions. It offers the same three EXR Priority modes (Wide Dynamic Range, High Sensitivity and High Resolution) as its predecessors and for the ultimate in 'point and shoot', EXR Auto mode takes the guesswork out of setting the camera by doing everything for you.

Using sophisticated Multi Frame Technology, all four images are merged to create one image.
The F80EXR also includes Fujifilm's exclusive Face Recognition Technology - an upgrade to Face Detection technology that allows the user to register the faces, names and birthdays of up to eight friends and family in the camera's memory. When shooting groups, the F80EXR can be set to prioritize focus and exposure on faces that it recognizes (up to five) and will display their names on the screen as the photo is being composed. In playback mode the FinePix F80EXR's sophisticated new Image Search feature allows users to search for specific pictures by name or category.

The HS10 combines a powerful super wide 24 - 720mm (30x) zoom lens with sophisticated photographic controls, advanced functionality and DSLR handling in a single compact, affordable unit. Manual zoom control enables the photographer to make precision adjustments with faster and more accurate zooming than electronically powered zooms.

Combined with Fujifilm's image processing expertise, the new sensor produces stunning richly-detailed low noise images, even when shooting in very low light.
Other innovative Fujifilm features include:

sensor automatically switches the picture to the EVF, and when the
eye is withdrawn, the image is automatically switched back to the
LCD. This feature increases the speed at which instant shots can be
taken.
- Triple Image Stabilization: combines a mechanically stabilized CMOS
sensor with high ISO sensitivities up to ISO6400 and advanced multi-
frame digital stabilization for total anti-blur protection, for sharp
results even at the longest zoom settings or in the most challenging
lighting conditions.
- Motion Remover Mode: captures five images of a scene in quick
succession and combines them in-camera to produce a single image(xx),
removing anything that was moving the shot - like moving traffic or
tourists.
