Fujifilm has announced the FinePix F440 Zoom and FinePix F450 Zoom: five and four megapixel resolutions, with a 3.4 times optical zoom, two inch LCD screen, and housed in a design that can be hidden behind a single Post-It Note.

The models replace the FinePix F410 and F420 Zoom. Although weighing no more than a mobile handset, the cameras boast 2" LCD screens, fast F2.8 lenses.

A new lithium rechargeable battery promises to give more shots for your battery than previous models and both models come complete with a PictureCradle, making recharging and downloading both easy and convenient. PictBridge(tm) compatibility also allows printing at home without the need for a PC or Mac.

The FinePix F440 and F450 Zoom will be available in the UK from retailers in August 2004. Fuji has yet to set a price in the UK.
