Fujifilm FinePix A345 Zoom

Fujifilm FinePix A345 Zoom: the simple-to-operate four megapixel resolution camera, with a neat, compact design, high quality 1.7 inch LCD screen and 3x optical zoom lens.

Following in the footsteps of their predecessors – the hugely popular FinePix A330 and A340 Zoom – this model offers exceptional power and value in a new and improved design. Whilst the entry-level category can often mean that corners are cut on build quality and feel, anyone who handles this camera will be pleasantly surprised by its compact solidity.

Although simple in conception, the FinePix A345 Zoom still boast bags of photo power – with one-touch, fully-automatic operation that includes easy navigation for beginners and enough megapixels to allow images to be printed as enlargements without loss of quality.

This competitively-priced new camera is sturdy but stylish, with smooth metallic casing and a high-quality finish. What's more, its low power consumption (operating on standard AA batteries) and compatibility with xD-Picture Card™ format, makes it a great choice for anyone concerned about having a system that will work well into the future. Furthermore, PictBridge™ compatibility allows the user to print directly without the need for a PC or Mac.
