The newest update to the slim-line Z series, the FinePix z100fd seems tailor-made for those who want to see and be seen.

FujiFilm announced today the launch of their latest Z-series model, the FinePix Z100fd. An update to the FinePix Z5fd, the Z100fd comes in four color combinations and is targeted at style-conscious users.

The 19.8mm thick, 8-MegaPixel point-and-shoot packs a mid-range Fujinon 5x optical zoom lens (36mm-180mm equivalent) and a 2.7-inch, 230k pixel LCD with scratch-free reinforced glass coating. ISO settings reach up to 1600 at full resolution.

The camera's Dual Image Stabilization combines a mechanically stabilized CCD with high ISO sensitivities to eliminate blur, and the face detection technology works with the automatic red eye removal to identify up to 10 human faces in a scene and take red eye-free portraits and group shots. It features an SD/xD/MMC combination card slot and uses Infrared to wirelessly transfer images to compatible devices. Other unique features include the rotary dial menu structure, which Fujifilm claims allows for quick and easy scrolling through the camera's options, and their intelligent i-Flash, which varies flash intensity and ISO sensitivity to prevent wash-out.

Designed for the most style-conscious user, the metal body with a unique ‘diagonal slide’ lens cover is available in four two-toned color schemes: ‘Shell Pink,' ‘Satin Silver,' ‘Cappuccino Brown’ and ‘Tuxedo Black.’

The FinePix Z100fd will debut in January 2008 at a retail price of $250.

Philip Berne, Matthew Ruiz, Edward Distel and Sindre Lia contribute to the CES 2008 coverage.
