Product Description

From the Manufacturer

At only 17.4mm thick, the Fujifilm FinePix J20 is the perfect on-the-go camera, fitting easily into a shirt pocket or hand bag. Despite its size, the FinePix J20's black metal body houses a 10-megapixel CCD, a 3x Fujinon optical zoom lens and a brilliant 2.7-inch, high-resolution LCD which displays images with sharpness and clarity.

The FinePix J20 feature Fujifilm’s new SR Auto (Automatic Scene Recognition), which enables the cameras to intelligently recognize six types of scenes automatically. For each picture taken in this mode, the cameras will optimize the ideal exposure, focus, white balance and ISO for the scene to ensure the best quality picture is captured with ease.

Fujifilm’s FinePix J20 also offers the following features:

• Image stabilization: the J20 has Fujifilm’s Picture Stabilization.
• Scene modes: pre-programmed scene modes provide top-quality photos in a wide-range of shooting conditions.
• Low light shooting: utilizes ISO settings of up to 1600 at full resolution, to capture stunning images even in low light.

5.0 out of 5 stars so simple!, June 3, 2009

I got the camera for my mom when her old one started to mess up. I haven't really looked into any of the advanced features, but from just messing with it for less than 5 minutes I realized that this is the perfect camera for her. While I need something a little more advanced, this is one of the closest digital cameras that I have seen to a simple point-and-click camera. It doesn't have a lot of fancy buttons, which is great because they tend to confuse my mom. I was able to show her rather quickly how to turn it on, zoom, take a photo, and view photos. This is all someone with her skill level needs to know how to do.

Now I'm sure this camera has some advanced features that I haven't had a chance to see yet, but that's not why we bought it. I have my own fancy camera that does cool stuff that my mom could never figure out how to use. Trust me, she's tried.

So if you just want a good quality, simple camera for someone who doesn't need to fool with features, then this is a great option at a wonderful price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Interface, Ultra Thin, Great Resolution, May 29, 2009

This camera replaces a Canon Powershot 400, which started to flake out. The J20 has an easy interface and is quite intuitive. Can't believe the price of this camera.

My camera is tucked away in an IPOD case and fits like a glove. Maybe I won't need a camera case. I cut a little hole in the case and wove the camera strap through it. At the end of the strap,I attached a blackberry cleaning pad to it and use it to wipe away smudge marks.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the size and weight and performance of this camera. Recommend using the flash indoors - colors are more natural. I've been wanting something ultra thin for a while now and finally found what I want.

3.0 out of 5 stars good value but with some drawbacks, August 16, 2009

My first fuji film camera. I ordered the black J20- the price is great I got mine new for 105$ w/ free shipping. (I also added a transcend 4GB/class 6 SDHC card & lowepro apex 20AW case.)
I really like the styling, "ultra compact" small size, & 2.7" 230K pixel LCD. Wish it had a longer zoom. It's just an easy to use point & shoot that fills my needs for mostly taking family pics. 10MP is probably overkill though as most of my prints will be in the 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10 sizes (assuming true photo quality of 300 ppi). I can't wait to try the video mode out, I'll post more later.

update: the 640x480 video w/ sound was big & clear, not small and choppy like I expected, w/ my 4GB card the recording time says 50min. To access the video mode you have to select it via the menu, there is no button on the camera itself. The shutter button on top starts/stops the video.

Update 2 (after 1 month): I'm a little disappointed in the pics now, because so many I take seem to be just slightly out of focus. Not sure if this has to do with the lens itself or lack of optical image stabilization. Also, there is some shutter lag about 2-3 seconds, which can really ruin the shot you were hoping to get. Ive also had some issues recently where it wouldnt turn on, but removing the battery for a second then reinstalling then it would work.
