Obviously cameras have been shooting at resolutions in higher HD than TVs can manage for more than a decade, but the FinePix S2000HD's HD credentials include official "HD Ready" support for recording MP4 movies at 1280x720. Or 720p as you may know it.
The S2000HD also has a 1920 x 1080 still image shooting mode, for making HD slide shows. No 1080p movies yet, though. That'd be too much. There'd be nowhere for next year's models to go.
Elsewhere you get 10megapixels when in standard camera mode, a useful 15x optical zoom, 2.7" LCD, image stabilisation for twitchy recovering alcoholics, a 13.5 frames-a-second burst shooting option and Dual Shot Mode - which cleverly takes two pics in quick succession, one with flash and another without.
And it takes AA batteries. Four of them. Cameras that take AA batteries always deserve an extra mark out of ten. The FinePix S2000HD will launch in "early Autumn," by which Fujifilm means the time of year - not a pretty shade of brown.
