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.

Picture Quality / Size Options
Image sizes range from 6 megapixels to 0.3 megapixels. The options are 2848 x 2136 (Fine quality), 2848 x 2136 (Normal quality), 3024 x 2016, 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200 and 640 x 480. There are no separate settings for image quality, but the top resolution is available at two compression settings. With a 1GB xD-Picture card, you could store about 341 of the largest, finest quality images.
Picture Effects Mode
Fujifilm provides some basic picture effects for recording from their FinePix menu: you can take photos in a mode called Chrome (which boosts the color saturation) or in Black & White. That’s fine with us: the other fancy effects on other cameras generally produce nasty results that are best avoided. Still, some consumers who like to tweak their pictures in the camera and print them directly may be disappointed with this setup.
