Manufacturer's Description
Taking pictures in poor light is very difficult with an average compact camera. And yet some of the best photos of your friends and family can happen in poor light. Blurry results, grainy digital 'noise' and under-powered flash are all associated with camera sensors that aren't sensitive enough. But the FinePix F20's amazing picture quality is at its most distinctive when the light is low. Its sensitivity performance of ISO 2000 is at least twice as effective in low light as comparable cameras there'll be less blur, and a more natural-looking feel to your images. As a slightly-slimmed version of the award-winning FinePix F30, the F20 is the perfect pocketable accompaniment on nights out when the memories will really count.

You probably take more pictures than you realise in low light. And low light is exactly what conventional digital compacts can't cope with. They lack the sensitivity (a measure known in photography as ISO), and the consequence is a combination of the blur of slow shutter speeds and the rough-textured look of digital 'noise' (discoloured speckles appearing on the image). The FinePix F20 offers an impressive full-resolution performance of ISO 2000, meaning that you can shoot with confidence in any light. What's more, the quality available at the lower sensitivities is truly staggering for such a small camera.

Real Photo Technology is a combination of Super CCD sensor, processor and lens, designed to give Fujifilm's top range of compacts the competitive edge when it comes to image quality. Not only does Real Photo Technology allow the FinePix F20 to reach its impressive ISO 2000 setting, but it also achieves colour accuracy, sharpness and tonal quality that outclass the rest of the class.

One of digital photography's biggest frustrations is finding yourself with a perfectly good camera, but no remaining power. With an impressive battery life of 300 shots per single charge, the FinePix F20 will give you unexpectedly impressive stamina. Together with the impressive light sensitivity of ISO 2000, this means that the FinePix F20 can continue to shoot, night after day after night.The FinePix F20 monitor is designed for fast, accurate viewing of your pictures. With a noticeably lifelike refresh rate of sixty frames per second (the previous top-end frame rate was 30 frames per second), there is little chance that the action will escape you. What is more, the anti-glare CV film coating will ensure that your images can be viewed in all kinds of lighting conditions.

Despite being a camera that can operate without needing to use flash, the FinePix F20 has some impressive abilities in the lighting department. It possesses a 'flash on, flash-off' shooting mode, which takes two pictures in quick succession, enabling you to compare the same scene taken with and without flash. Furthermore, its 'Intelligent Flash' mode exploits the camera's impressive light sensitivity to achieve balanced illumination between foreground subject and the background. No longer will you have to look at photographs of bleached-out people against pitch-black backgrounds.

There are still people who believe that more pixels equal better image quality. However, most knowledgable photography enthusiasts have agreed that 6 million pixels represent a sufficiently large file size to achieve large prints. What really counts in delivering a high quality image is the quality of the sensor and the processing. When all work together well, such as with the F20, it is a well-known fact that you can get achieve better image quality than 7 or 8 million pixel compacts. With the previous model, the F30, recognised as 2006's TIPA Digital Compact Camera of the Year, it is clear that the F20 is of formidable pedigree.

Great DSLR back up and great camera in own right
Lovely little camera and very easy and quick to use when out and about,
Focusing fast hardly any lag and pic quality is unreal 800iso seems to be as good as my Nikon DSLR !!!
Compact cameras these days are feature mad with way 2 many Pixels , if only Fuji or anybody made a Pro compact with a 6.3 super CCD processer type tecnology instead of the rubbish we have to put up with now i mean 12 meg pixels in a compact ! whats that all about do point and shooters make a lot of posters then ?
Shame these older cameras are like hens teeth now as there much better i would rather have a Fuji F31FD then the overrated Canon G9 brick style rubbish pic quality camera ?!
Marketing pressure and Dummies thinking more pixels mean better i suppose will drive things on even more, I,m sure Sony and the like will have there 16 Meg compacts out by the end of 2009 !!

Excelent budget camera for 'ordinary' users
Bought for somebody else who wants point and shoot this is simple to use, decent quality pictures and easy for operate. It is also nice and small and almost vanishingly light weight (unlike the pictures).

I'm almost tempted to get one as a pocket backup to a more serious camera - I know which I would take to the beach!

Best Budget Compact
As a owner off 3 DSLR's and someone who is a bit picky when it comes to the quality of my imges, i have to say i can't fault this camera really. It's image quality is as good, if not better at times than my Canon 30D. My only advice would be to play with the EV settings as the auto mode does overexpose alot. I bought mine in a well known high street shop, but they have now discontinued this model and the cheapest place to get one is through Amazon. Buy this camera with confidence.
