One of FujiFilm's latest EXR equipped models, the FinePix F300EXR is a sleek, yet powerful compact camera that boasts some serious features. These include a 12-megapixel EXR Super CCD image sensor, 15x Fujinon optical zoom lens (24 - 360mm equivalent range), a high-resolution 3.0-inch LCD screen, Intelligent Image stabilization, 720p HD video capture, and their new Hybrid High Speed Autofocus mode to name a few. All of these features are packed into a stylish and durable metal shell, which Fuji used two coats of lacquer to create a beautiful finish. On top of that, the F300EXR is small enough that you can still slip it into your pants pocket; which is impressive when you consider it's packing a 15x optical zoom.
