Fujifilm released a slew of new digital cameras today, including two new ‘EXR’ SuperCCD cameras and a new ‘Real 3D’ camera – details on the 3D camera are scarce, other than the fact that it can take 3D photos, 3D movies and play them back on its high-resolution screen (in 3D, no less), and I’ll only be posting details on Fujifilm’s 3D camera when there’s more in September. The thing I noticed about all of them is they all use SD/SDHC cards… and lack xD-Picture card compatibility. That now leaves Olympus as the only camera maker to use the proprietary xD-card format in some of their cameras (personally, I hope they abandon it completely). Alright, enough commentary, let’s get to the exciting stuff:
