 Fujifilm today announced the arrival of the FinePix A205S. As easy to use as your TV remote, and with the same point and shoot simplicity, this camera will tame even the most timid technophobe. Equipped with a 3x Fujinon optical zoom lens, 2 million pixel CCD, Video Out socket, increased battery life and smart Fujifilm design, the FinePix A205S delivers high quality images without the need to frown over an instruction booklet. Small buttons and long menus can be intimidating to first timers, but the FinePix A205S is easier to handle with its larger buttons and a simple layout, making camera navigation child's play. As a 2 million pixel camera, the FinePix A205S' images are a manageable size.

Sending and storing your shots is therefore a much snappier process, whilst the picture quality will have you thinking that a higher spec camera is lurking beneath its simple exterior.
Imagine you don't have a PC. The Video Out socket connects the camera to your television, et voila – your own private slide show! The pictures can then easily be turned into prints with Fujifilm's high street photo printing service, FDi.
The cherry on the cake is the 3x Fujinon lens, providing an optical reach that lets you zoom in and automatically gives you crisp image quality.
Fujifilm's low battery consumption is an added bonus, saving you money on batteries and letting you enjoy taking pictures for even longer.
