Fujifilm Finepix Z20fd 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Ice Blue)

I bought this camera refurbished for $90. I had experience with its 7MP predecessor, so trusted that it would be quality.Photos are crisp and clear, even in low light conditions without flash. The manual setting allows you to play with all the photographic parameters, although a professional would hate to have to go through several menu options just to adjust the ISO setting. For anyone else, this won't be a problem.The menu is clear and easy to use. Switching the factory programed lighting settings (party, portrait, night, beach, snow, etc.) can be done very quickly. And shutter response time for action shots is very good. There is a delay though, when taking photos in low light with or without flash.Videos are mp4 format. The quality is what you would expect from a camera, comparable to a lot of what you see on youtube. It's adequate. I have no complaints, especially since it allows you to zoom while recording, which its 7MP predecessor did not.What I really love though, is the zoom abilities of this camera. There's a 3x optical zoom, but if you've selected the right menu option, the digital zoom kicks in once you've maxed out at 3x. I'm not sure how many x's the diital zoom adds, but I was able to zoom in on a jet plane flying at high altitude and get a clear photograph of it when to the naked eye, all you saw was a dot with a white streak trailing behind it....

I have this camera for about one week, took aobut 130 pics, using all the different shooting modes available.1. shooting modes are very intuititve and easy to use2. great quality pics, i bought the 2Gb card, you can store and take up to 800 pics of the best quality shots3. I saw the same camera in Target at $1804. it fits inside my little purse, it is no bigger than my motorola cell phone5. I was so happy with this little thing, taking pictures of houses, plants, swinging it aorund my wrist, and .... slipped off my hand hitting hard on a concrete pathway....and it survived!! It suffered no damages except for the few ugly nicks on the chrome part (stupid me).I am so happy!!

Has the world gone mad? Have we lowered our standards when it comes to quality? I mean, I just dont understand why anyone would rate a camera on anything other than PICTURE QUALITY. A camera is for...get a load of this,,,,taking pictures. It's not for pushing buttons and doing back flips. Just for taking pictures. At least, that's what I think. Anyway, it is MY OPINION that this camera STINKS. Simply put, the pictures come out grainy or out of focus or, grainy and out of focus. GARBAGE. I realize that this is no SLR, but can someone not invent a point-and-shoot that takes a picture that is at least in focus? What year is this again? This is my second try with a point and shoot. So far, I've had no luck. Next up...Canon SD1200.

If you are looking for a very inexpensive digital camera to take with you to parties, to sell items on ebay, or just everyday snapshots, this camera is perfect. For apprx $125, you will not find a better compact digital camera for the price. It comes in great colors, it has plenty of menu options, and it takes good videos. If you sell stuff on Ebay, the action mode available on this fuji camera is great. You can take up to four different images on one picture, so that will save you money on gallery picture costs while listing items.My only cons are that there is a 1-2 second delay between shots, and it took me about an hour to figure out how to navigate through the menus.But you do get what you pay for, and if you are looking for a regular, everyday camera, this one is good.

My wife decided she needed my original Fuji Z20 so I went looking for another one. Found this one along with a battery charger. Quite pleased with it. Only used it for a short time so not knowledgeable as to the battery life Time will tell.For right now I have a simple to use camera that takes pictures with the quality I want. Easy to carry, easy to take photos and easy to transfer those photos. What's not to like?

This isn't a bad camera, but it isn't great either. It is really just average. The photos are decent quality, but tend to be very grainy even in full light. I'm not happy with the flash. The LCD flash is too bright and white, imo. The idea of a point and shoot is that you don't have to mess around with it too much when you want to take a picture, but with the flash being so bright it defeats the purpose. The pictures look great if it is really bright or really dark. Anything in between the flash will wash things out unless you play with the settings.The location of the lens is not a good thing, either. I am constantly getting my thumb in front of it.The camera has some good qualities. It's very small and light. The color is cute. 10MP means it can take very large pictures. The lens cover protects the lens and automatically turns the camera on, which is a very nice feature. It is possible, with some messing around with settings, to get very nice pictures. It does take fantastic video in different light settings. If I had bought it to take video I might be happier with it.So it isn't all bad, and it isn't all good. As I said in the beginning, it is average. If I had it to do over again I would have bought something different.
