If you're a pro photographer, you're no doubt thrilled to hear that Fujifilm has finally unveiled the S3 Pro, which the company claims has a better dynamic range than its highly rated predecessor, the S2 Pro. Advanced enthusiasts should find the well-equipped Fujifilm FinePix S20 Pro of interest, too. The other two cameras introduced at the show, the A330 and the A340, offer point-and-shooters a good basic feature set for a very reasonable price. |
