Hot off the presses today is Steve’s digicam’s review of the FinePix A345 from Fuji. This Fuji FinePix digital camera is a handheld wonder that captures high-resolution photography with ease. The A345 features 4.1-megapixel resolution and 3x optical and 3.6x digital zoom. The camera comes with a 16MB xD-Picture card and supports xD-Picture card media. Features include a 1.7″ 115K pixel LCD screen; movie mode with sound; 10-second self-timer and much more.

Here’s a quote from Steve’s A345 review

“The FinePix A345 is among the latest “A” series offerings from Fujifilm in 2005, and is equipped with a 4.1 megapixel imager complemented by a FUJINON 3x optical zoom lens. This simple point-n-snap model allows the beginner to snap photos easily when using its “Auto” mode, while still offering several appealing features like adjustable White balance settings and Exposure Compensation when in the Manual mode. You can use one of four pre-programmed scene modes (Portrait, Landscape, Sport and Night) or record movies with sound at 320×240 resolution.”
