FujiFilm has been busy this morning. After the torrent of new cameras we just saw, we figured it was time for a little breather — clearly we were wrong. The company just announced another set of FinePix models, the A920 and the F480 (pictured). The former is a 9 megapixel compact, with a 4x optical zoom, 2.7-inch LCD screen, xD / SD / SDHC card support, Picture Stabilization, and “movie mode” up to 640 x 480. The latter is a follow-up to the company’s F470, a compact of the 8 megapixel variety with specs so similar to the aforementioned A920 we would say they are identical except for the F480′s 4x “wide zoom”. Both the A920 and the A480 will be available in September for $199.95 and $179.95, respectively.

Ever the sticklers for mouse precision, the folks at Razer have now gone and updated their Diamondback gaming mouse with their third generation (3G) infrared sensor, which was first put to use in the company’s unfortunately-named DeathAdder mouse. As with that mouse, the Diamondback will give you an impressive 1800 dpi resolution, along with on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment, seven independently programmable buttons, and a rubberized non-slip finish, not to mention a choice of colors to light up your desk. Look for it to be available at the beginning of next month for $60.

Step aside Mary Lou Retton, there’s a new pint-sized powerhouse loose in the US. Meet the $300 F50fd from FujiFilm which stuffs that ridiculous 12 megapixel, 1/1.6-inch CCD into this FinePix’s slim chassis with 3x optical zoom and 2.7-inch LCD in tow. The cam sports a dual-shot mode (one with and one without flash taken in rapid succession), xD/SD/SDHC expansion, and FujiFilm’s v2.0 Face Detection tech, a mechanically stabilized CCD sensor and the ability to shoot at ISO 1600 at full resolution. It will also be one of the first domestic shooters to support IrSimpleShot (IrSS) high speed data transfer when it enters the US market in September. And here you thought infrared was dead you silly, silly boy.
