FujiFilm is also upgrading their A-series cameras with the new FinePix A345 and A350 [pictured], 4.1- and 5.2-megapixel cameras that replace the lens cover of the older series with retracting 3x optical zoom lenses. These are the bread-and-butter cameras, so while they’ll launch in March for $250 and $300 respectively, I wouldn’t be surprised to drop by $50 within a couple of months like most cameras in this class do. The A-series cameras continue to be powered by AA batteries, either disposable or rechargeable Ni-MHs. Like every FujiFilm camera under the sun, these use the xD-Picture Card memory format (not my favorite, but what can you do?)
FinePix A345 picture after the jump, but I warn you, it looks almost identical.
