Looking for a camera that has a towering zoom, but don’t want to lug around one of those bigger cameras? Well, Fujifilm has just announced their new long-zoom category of compact cameras under the JZ line, which currently consists of the JZ300 and JZ500 cameras. One of the most notable features of it will obviously be the 10X optical zoom lens, which sports Fujifilm’s advanced CCD-shift image stabilization. Other features of the cameras include:

• 12-megapixel resolution (14-megapixels on the JZ500)
• 10x optical zoom
• 28mm wide-angle lens
• 720p video and image capture
• Face detection
• Tracking auto focus
• Face recognition (JZ500 only)
• Pet detection (JZ500 only)

With PMA just around the corner, leaks of various cameras are starting to show up on the Net. First off we’ve got black and white pictures of what should be the SP-800UZ from Olympus, which will boast a mouth-watering 30x optical zoom, 14-megapixel sensor and image stabilization. Fujifilm should be getting in on the fun too, with a bunch of cameras. One of the more interesting cameras will certainly be the Hasselblad H4D, which will sport a 50-60 megapixel count. You might not be into medium format cameras, but whether you’re looking for something along the lines of the usual consumer camera, a 30x zoom is certainly adequate reason to at least check out the offering from Olympus.
