Fuji FinePix F20 Digital Camera Review

Fuji FinePix F20

Digital Camera Review

Oct 10, 2006 - By Richard Baguley
The Fujifilm FinePix F20 joins the F-series as the bottom of the high performance line, but still has the same 6.3-megapixel 1/1.7-inch sensor included on the pricier models. The F20 has many of the same features as the Fujifilm F30, but lowers the top ISO offering to 2000 and uses a different battery that gets much less mileage. This FinePix digital camera retails for $299 and was released in August. We caught up with the camera on the show floor at Photokina 2006.

Conclusion
The Fujifilm FinePix F20 has obviously been built on a budget, with a poor screen and a very limited amount of memory. But it’s still a nice camera if you’re on a budget too. The F20 is a good choice if you’re looking for a simple to use, straightforward camera with reasonable resolution. We’ll have to wait and see how the image quality works out, but it looks promising, as previous Fuji models with similar imaging chips have performed very well.
