Key Features of the Fujifilm Z20fd :
  • Ultra Compact Digital Camera with 10-megapixel Resolution.
  • Large 2.5" LCD screen.
  • 3X optical zoom (5 digital/15X total zoom).
  • 35mm equivalent lens focal length: 40-120.
  • xD/SD/SDHC-compatible slot
  • Face detection identifies people in your frame and adjusts focus and exposure for better portraits.
  • In-camera red-eye detection and automatic correction.
  • High sensitivity mode (ISO 1600) at full resolution for low-light shooting.

Continuing the tradition started by its stylish predecessor, the FinePix Z10fd, the FinePix Z20fd is a new, ultra-glam digital camera packed with useful features that let you face it, beam it, blog it and now roll it with a new MPEG-4 movie recording mode for the movie-crazed among us.

The 10-megapixel FinePix Z20fd features an ultra-portable design, a Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens, 2.5-inch LCD screen, and packs 45MB of internal memory to give you some extra room when your memory card is full. The style-savvy FinePix Z20fd also introduces Fujifilm’s handy new Dual Blog Mode that automatically resizes any still image or movie you've captured, letting you post pictures and videos to blogs, video-sharing websites like YouTube, or e-mail to friends with ease.

As with the FinePix Z10fd, the Z20fd also allows picture takers to Face It with Fujifilm’s innovative Face Detection Technology with Automatic Red Eye Removal for capturing the ultimate group shots and Beam It with Fujifilm’s IrSimple technology to share the image instantly with friends. A one-touch selectable mode that identifies up to 10 human faces in a scene, Face Detection Technology sets the correct focus for a chosen primary face and exposure for all detected faces automatically, regardless of where subjects are located within the frame. After the shot is taken, each detected face is instantly checked for red eye; if found, it is corrected automatically, saving the time consuming process of fixing it later. Fujifilm’s IrSimple technology allows for fast, easy wireless image transfer to any IrSimple-equipped device.

Fujifilm’s Picture Stabilization Technology uses higher sensitivities -- up to ISO 1600 in the Z20fd -- and faster shutter and operational speeds, that help reduce camera shake, allowing photographers to capture the moment just as it was meant to be captured.

This high-style camera can also Roll It with an impressive Movie mode, capturing full motion MPEG4 video with the touch of a separate movie shutter button. Using the Successive Movie mode, in-camera editing allows for the creation of a 60-second movie clip, even when shooting in two or more scenes is desired. Start and restart multiple times to build a 60-second compilation, and edit the start and end points.

Additional Features

Dual shutter releases One button for still capture, one for movie record, for ease of use.

i-Flash Intelligent Flash i-Flash detects subtle lighting differences within a scene, and then varies the flash intensity accordingly. It also leverages the high sensitivity of the Z20fd to enable the camera to use less flash, preventing that "blasted with light" effect that so many digital camera flashes leave you with. The result is pleasing, natural tones with no flash "wash-out."

Dual Shot mode In this mode, the FinePix Z20fd quickly shoots two images in succession -- one with and one without the flash -- saving both. This convenient function lets the user perform an on-the-spot picture comparison and decide whether the FinePix Z20fd produced the most pleasing photo with flash, or without.

Special scene modes The FinePix Z20fd has 16 scene positions, including Fireworks, Beach and Snow, offering a one-touch setting for almost any situation.

xD/SD/SDHC-compatible slot A single media slot that accepts both xD Picture Card and SD/SDHC media cards.

Stamp It Add a little fun to your images by "stamping" a variety of fun designs to up to three detected faces in your shots!

Battery life Long-life rechargeable Li-ion battery.

Had camera for 3 days, used about 3 times and it broke!!!
- Reviewd on: 2009-01-05 By: Amy Van Kirk
I bought this little camera to have for New Years... and I used it a few times before the actual day.. it seemed to work just fine.. then I had about 20 great pictures on it.. and I was reviewing them and got a read error... then I turned it off.. and back on followed the instructions on the manual, and still read error took the memory card out still error.. no pics on the internal memory or my card all I get is an error and it wont take more pics.. what a POS.. I returned it. I loved it while it lasted and I am so bummed because I always use me friends cameras and I finally bought my own and was so excited.. if I could get reassurance it isnt a normal thing that happens with these cameras maybe I will change my mind and give it anotehr try.. I just hate to lose anymore great priceless pictures..

Very easy to use
- Reviewd on: 2009-01-03 By: Jim Davis
I bought this for my 7 yr old. I was tired of the cheap kids cameras and wanted something that was easy to use and durable. This camera is nice because it doesn't have a telescoping lens. The front face slides left-right to expose the lens. This helps keep the lens protected. It's also cool that the camera automatically turns on when you slide the front face to the "open" position. All these features combined make it durable enough for a responsible kid. My 4 yr old has started using it too.

Great little camera
- Reviewd on: 2009-01-02 By: VivKap
I received this camera as a birthday gift from my husband. I found the picture quality to be great. My only complaint is that the menus are not so easy to navigate through and I found that more often that not,it was too easy to get my finger on the lens. All in all,it's a great camera. I love the compact size and the bright Wasabi green color.

Good little camera for a great price!
- Reviewd on: 2008-12-26 By: munkeyluvin
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.
