The 10-megapixel FinePix Z30 is, for the most part, a fairly basic ultra-compact camera, with a 3x optical zoom and 69mm LCD. But, besides its interesting appearance, there are a couple of extras that make it stand out from other youth-orientated models.
For example, you get face detection and automatic scene recognition to help with fast shooting, but there's also a blog mode (a carry-over from the Z20), which apparently prepares shots and video so they can go straight online for sharing.
There are separate buttons for the still photo shutter release and movie recording, taking away the need to switch to a different mode to do one or the other. Also, small movie clips can be stitched together on the camera to create a single, 60-second clip.
UK availability and pricing have yet to be announced.
