How to select the right Fujifilm camera

The Z series

Targeted at the stylish, young and trendy crowd, the Z-series shooters are clad in different shades other than the usual black or silver. Teenagers and young working adults will appreciate the budget price tag that doesn't compromise on design. According to Fujifilm, the Z-series is the first to implement a sliding lens cover for digital cameras and this fad has caught on with other brands. The slim shooters also have a slew of features such face detection and image stabilization to make snapping pictures easier for beginners.

Price range: S$399 (US$293.76) to S$599 (US$441.02)

In this series

FinePix Z200fd
Just when we were getting bored of face detection and smile shutter, along came the Z200fd to add some spice. The Couple Timer measures the distance between two people and automatically snaps a shot when they are close enough. This three-digit lineup is targeted at a more mature audience, which explains the more subtle colored chassis. However, this shooter may not be available in every region, so check with your local retailer for availability.
