2. The Fujifilm FinePix X10 Compact Camera is a similar, but smaller, version of the very popular and critically acclaimed FinePix X100.

Like the X100, this newer Fujifilm model is distinguished by a retro design, which is highlighted by the use of lightweight, but very tough, die-cast magnesium alloy for the upper and lower case parts. The Fujifilm FinePix X10 Compact Camera retails for $599.99.
3. At just 5.3 oz. (151g), the Fujifilm FinePix Z950EXR is a stylish, sleek compact camera that’s easy to take with you wherever you go.

5. The Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR seems to provide the impossible: a 7.7 oz. (220g) camera that fits in your pocket, but with high-performance, serious photography features and capabilities. It starts with a 15x optical zoom lens with a 24mm wide-angle. Kick in Intelligent Digital Zoom and the Fujinon lens doubles its zoom range to 30x. Whatever you compose is then captured by a 16-megapixel CMOS sensor, which uses the same EXR technology in the Z950. The results are sharp, stunning digital photos and full HD 1080p/30fps video. The 3-inch LCD screen makes it easier to compose and then create your best work with a multitude of artistic shooting modes. The Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR is priced at approximately $296.

Not only is it perfectly suited for taking pictures while tangling from a rope, but also it’s waterproof, shockproof, freeze-proof and dustproof. Drop it from as much as five feet; take it as much as 16.5 feet underwater; and expose it to temperatures as low as 14 degrees F (-10 Celsius) and the FinePix XP20 continues to operate. Its tough body design and construction protect a 14-megapixel CCD image sensor, a Fujinon 5x wide-angle optical zoom lens (28mm equivalent) and a 2.7-inch, anti-reflective LCD screen.

8. The FinePix AX300 is a nifty, little camera that is much more powerful than its small size would seem to indicate.

9. The Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3 Compact Camera is the wave of the future with its 3D photography technology. Other camera companies have camera models that will shoot 3D, but Fujifilm designed the FinePix Real 3D W3 primarily to be a 3D camera. The two lenses are 3X-optical zooms (35mm to 105mm), and are positioned, so you can view through them like a pair of binoculars. The double sensors are 1/2.3-inch, 10-megapixel CCD sensors. They record 3D still images in MPO format, and 720p 3D video as an AVI file at 24 frames per second. Third-party testing rates the playback of 3D stills and video from the FinePix Real 3D W3 to be superior to all other compact cameras with a 3D capability. The Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3 retails for $265.
