Fujifilm Australia has announced the Z200fd will be coming to Australia. It features a 10 megapixel sensor, 5x optical zoom and 52mb internal memory. New features include a Couple Timer mode which cleverly detects two faces in a frame and will automatically release the shutter button as the two faces come closer together. The Couple Timer mode has three settings so users can set the timer to detect faces at various distances, whether they are standing side by side, or cheek-to-cheek.

Being 19.8mm thick and available in four colours (Pink, Silver, Black, Black/Red combo as shown) it is sure to be a popular camera when released.
