Fujifilm has unveiled the FinePix F80EXR with a 12MP Super CCD EXR sensor. Successor to the F70EXR released last year, the new camera with switchable sensor technology sees the addition of HD video, 10x (27-270mm equiv.) optical zoom lens and a larger 3.0 inch LCD. The camera also features a Pet Detection mode and orientation sensor.  Based on the same award-winning Super CCD EXR switchable sensor technology as its predecessor, the FinePix F80EXR delivers class-leading image quality in a wide variety of shooting conditions.
