Fujifilm has just announced another addition to the FinePix Z series, the new 5 mega pixels Z3. The FinePix Z3 has the same size sensor as the Z1 and Z2 with all models having high ISO range of up to 1600. The is an excellent compact camera considering the competition normally has an ISO range up to 400.

There is very little difference between the new Fine Pix Z3 and the previous model, the FinePix Z2. Both having a high resolution 2.5 inch LCD screen with the newer Z3 having 2000 less pixels.

The new Z3 does come with an anti-shake function called picture stabilization which in addition to the high ISO range eliminates blurring in low light. One interesting function is the dual shot mode where you only press the shutter button once and it takes two shots. The first picture is taken without the flash and the second shot is taken with the flash. This is definitely a gimmick; however I see this as a great marketing tool for women.
