Fujifilm FinePix F20 Zoom Review
|
Click on the FinePix F20 to take a QuickTime VR tour
The FinePix F20's sleek, lightweight body disguise its technology-heavy specifications. Featuring a 6.3 MegaPixel 6th Generation Super CCD, RP Processor II and ISO 100-2000 sensitivity, the F20 delivers images that remain sharp and natural in bright sunshine, low light or with fast moving subjects. Fujifilm's Real Photo Technology cameras are among the only digital compact cameras to deliver high ISO at full resolution. This means there's no need for a trade off between high-quality, low light photography, and potential print size.
For those moments when a flash is needed, the FinePix F20's i-Flash intelligent flash system
automatically sets power output and exposure for balanced results, combining natural
foreground illumination with optimum background exposure. Its innovative Dual Shot mode takes
two pictures in quick succession; one with flash, and one without, then displays them side-
by-side for on-the-spot comparison.
The FinePix F20 is available now with a retail price of US$299.
