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

I got the Fuji film Z20fd so I don't have to carry my slr every where I go some times you just want a photo wean you hanging out in a bar or what ever and if I take my slr I have to carry it in my backpack Then I just cant put my back pack down some one can take it and this just fits in your pocket the only bad thing I have to say is that my fingers are to big for the buttons in the back and I am always pressing the wrong thing but that's just me over all its just a simple point and shoot if you looking for something simple then this is you camera if not just by a slr

I needed a digital Camera that was EASY-This one did the trick! Pictures are clear and the Intelligent face detection and Red-Eye removal feature makes eveyone look so much better on film. The software loaded quickly and was easy to use AND works with Vista! I bought it in pink so it was quick to identify as mine.

I love my new tiny cute pink camera. I purchased my first digital camera (a Fuji) 3 1/2 years ago- and cameras have come a looooong way, baby. I love that it takes video with sound. The pictures come out beautifully. I can't wait for my trip to NY next month so I can take lots of pics and vidoes.

I love the size, the color, the large lcd screen, and the fact the it plays slide shows on the camera. Its easy and fun to use. Only gave it 4 stars because the red-eye reduction that's automatically in the camera makes the eyes look strange sometimes and I have not yet figured out how to stop it. Otherwise, I love it!

I really love this product.. I never leave home without my camera...I don't buy desposable camera anymore because I have my digital camera

This camera looks great an does a good job for amateurs. It is also very durable. My daughter dropped hers in water under about 3 inches. She dried it out and it works fine. Also pictures are good, especially outside shots. Very good deal.

This is a great camera. I have owned it for month now and have taken loads of pictures with it. Some posted here. I only have 2 complaints about this camera the battery charger is bulky, no need for the cord should have been a direct plug in. The other is no fireworks or multishot settings.

shutter speed is a little slow.

Improve these and fuji has a perfect point and shoot.

If you are looking for a great easy to use out of box camera at a great price this is the one for you.

I gave it 5 stars even with the minus I have taken over 1000 pics and most all were excellant.

THIS IS A GOOD CAMERA - TAKES CLEAR PIX. HAVEN'T GOT TO PLAY AROUND ON IT MUCH TO SEE HOW THE VIDEO IS THOUGH.

This bright little camera gives you a lot for your money. It's small enough to slip inside a purse, and easy to whip out for an impromptu photo. Taking pictures and video is easy to understand right out of the box.

The only issues I've had with it is how easy it is to erase a picture by accident after deleting another. The picture quality isn't great, but it isn't bad, either.

All in all, it's worth the price, and who can resist that green?

I love this camera! Its such a great price for a ten megapixel camera. Awesome quality and easy to use. A great buy!

I like this camera it takes really good pictures and its small enough to put in a pocket. Very easy to use.

I have allways been an Olympus man, but until I got my pictures procesed, I will change to Fuji!!

This is a great looking little camera and I love the way it works but the quality of the pictures was iffy. I call Fuji and they had me send it in for recalabration and I am still waiting to receive it back.......

I bought this camera because I recently went on a college trip to England, and one of the other girls on the trip had this camera. I like the way it worked in a range of settings. It worked everywhere from the dimly lit London pubs to flower gardens on bright sunny days. It was small and efficient. When I went looking for a new camera, I kept this one in mind. And as a college student on a budget, I must say I'm very pleased that I decided to buy it.

This is a great value for a good, quality point and shoot camera. It has settings for a range of situations. I'm not a pro photographer by any means, but I recently used it to take my sister's senior portraits to try to save some money, and the pictures turned out beautifully. I shot the pictures outside and had to do some experimenting with all the different settings to get the best shots with the late afternoon light. The natural light and portrait settings helped capture the full range of colors on our outdoor backgrounds (lots of fall foliage). The face detection was definitely helpful, and the camera's 10mp gave us pictures that look great even blown up to an 8x10 size.

The camera is small and sleek. Its buttons might be a little difficult for a person with not-so-nimble fingers. I love the way opening the shutter turns the camera on, but I can see how easy it would be to unknowingly turn the camera on and wear out the battery. It doesn't have a viewfinder, but I don't miss it with the big LCD screen. I definitely recommend getting a memory card to go with it simply for convenience. The camera comes with software, but you don't need it to get the pictures onto a computer.

I've only had this camera for a couple days, but so far I REALLY like it. My old camera was a casio exilim that I got about 4-5 years ago, and it finally bonked, so my daddy got me the finepix. One of the first things I noticed was that the finepix has a much clearer screen. I had tested a finepix in the store prior to receiving mine as a gift, and I noticed that it had one of the clearest screens, even in comparison to some of the more expensive digital cameras. Trying out the features, I was very happy with the facial recognition, auto focus, stabilization, etc. because I tend to have an unsteady hand and normally take pictures that are out of focus. I also like the pre-set photo options for situations such as low light, ebay photos, and others and how the camera automatically adjusts lighting, flash, etc. I appreciate that the zoom is internal - my old camera's zoom popped out of the front of the camera, and that just annoyed me. I also like the macro setting - I think still life/conceptual type photos are the coolest. I noticed the shutter speed on the finepix is way better than on my old camera too. With my old camera, most of the pictures of my dog would turn out blurry or fuzzy because by the time I tried to capture a picture he would move. This camera is able to get clear shots of him. The video is also much clearer than it was with my old camera. Also, I am very pale, and most cameras make me look like a washed out zombie, but with this camera I looked like a normal (though still pale) human. I think the only thing I don't like so far is the software, but I have an SD card reader and will probably start using that so I can bypass using the software all together. I'd definitely recommend this camera for anyone who wants random shots of family, friends, pets, nature, etc. as well as short videos. The photo quality looks very good on my macbook, although I have not yet printed any photos. Although the camera is not professional quality, for the price it exceeds expectations!

This vibrant little camera really does the job! Beautiful, clear photos and excellent resolution. Very easy to use and how can you not love the dazzling Wasabi Green color? I own 2 high-end professional cameras, but keep this one in my purse for impromptu photos & videos of my kids when we are out & about and it is perfect for the job!

This is a great camera for the price. Very easy to use. I recommend it highly.

Got this camera as a gift. I gave it only four stars because it's a pain in the neck to tell people not to move when the flash goes off the first time (that's when it's focusing). I was taking a picture of my husband, the flash went off and he moved. I pressed the shutter down the rest of the way and it went off again. The picture turned out great. I'm used to having a viewfinder, so learning how to use the LCD screen is a new process. The camera is quite small, fits in my purse beautifully so I'll always have it ready. I like that it has face detection, anti-shake and redeye removal. Makes it easier just to download and print the pictures. The slider that covers the lens is a great timesaver. No more having to push buttons to turn off the camera, just slide the slider into position and your safe to go. I keep mine in a small case just so a pen or pencil that I always carry won't accidently push it back. A great little camera for the person on the go. Mine is the Wasabi green, I will never have to worry about someone picking it up thinking it's theirs.

Great Camera - perfect for my 18 year old daughter. It couldn't be easier to order through Amazon! Great Service.

Nice little camera for the price. Wish all instructions for it's use were in the written manual and not on a cd.

Fujifilm Finepix Z20fd 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Wasabi Green)What a little "neon green" gem. I purchased this little camera for its size and good reviews - and for the bright, cheerful colors offered....not to mention the very attractive price on Amazon. There have been many times when I was traveling (locally or longer trips) that I saw a scene I wanted to capture but did not have my camera with me. My Z20 is small enough to easily slip into my purse, or even a shirt pocket. And it is so easy to use - its ready to shoot the moment you slide back the lens cover. While my other camera has 10x optical and 5x digital zoom, and may be better for some shots, with the Z20's 10mp along with the 3x optical zoom, I can easily crop the picture to size and retain the clarity. And the review feature lets you zoom in to the smallest features in the picture to be sure you have critical areas in focus. It even has face recognition, which my more expensive camera does not. So , I am well pleased with my little Z20 and can't wait to capture the sights and colors of Autumn.

This is a "fair" camera - picture resolution is fine.

Recharging the battery is not as easy as with my other cameras. You must remove the battery and charge separately. Thus, when you want to take your camera and run, you must also remember to take the charger with you. Would be so much nicer if you could just plug the camera in and when it needs charging.

I recently purchased this camera to replace an older-than-dirt (at least in the world of technology) Sony Cybershot. It was the sleek design that attracted my eye, and the low price that kept it there! I first saw it at BJs for $140, and when I read the list of features, I thought it was too good to be true. I purchased it, and was amazed with the quality of pictures. I brought this camera on a trip to the White Mountains of NH last week, and was stunned by how many amazing shots I got. (Even my father, a long-time photographer, was amazed!)

Pros:
-sleek, small design
-lens cover that slides open, rather than one that you may take off and lose (or one that mechanically opens, and may freeze up like my Cybershot)
-high MP value for such a low price!
-multiple shooting/quality modes
-fine zoom
-lithium-ion battery has long life (I'd say 10 hours, but I honestly haven't paid much attention to that- it hasn't been a problem for me.)
-high-quality video - picture AND sound. Even looks/sounds good when hooked up to my television.

Cons:
-low internal memory
-lithium-ion battery needs to be charged (can't simply be replaced on the go)

Other than that, I can't really complain! If you're looking to find a high-quality point-and-click with a small design and a small price tag, this one's for you!

This camera is so small I can take it anywhere.
The quality of the pictures are really good.
Easy to use and very convenient.

I have one Fuji camera, and this is the 2nd one I've purchased. I am so not disappointed! I love it! This is the only brand of digital camera I will ever buy. The features are wonderful, and the pictures ALWAYS turn out fantastic, even though I'm probably the worst photographer ever.

This is an amazing camera! I thoroughly researched my options before choosing this one & I'm glad I did. It was easy to learn how to use which was something I was looking for in a camera along with the color selection offered. This is a camera I highly recommend if you want something basic rather than complex. Don't worry about the picture quality as is clean, clear, & crisp. And a bonus I found is that when travelling in a car going around 60mph the pics turn out just as beautiful just as if you were standing still & the object was stationary.

great little camera! does everything i need it to do. not a professional, so i'm sure it actually does more, but for a basic first digi i like it. plus, i've never had any problems with a fuji...

I am a terrible photographer most of the time. I have had several " good " digital cameras in the past. But this one is very easy to use and actually makes my pictures look good. I would recommend it for small size, ease of use, and great pictures even for those of us who are not "photographers."

This is the best digital camera,I have ever owned,takes wonderful,pictures,and you can make movies,depending on the memory card size,I had a 2 gb memory card,so with the 2,I could make a movie,up to 80 minutes,and almost up to 800 pictures,I got a 4 gb memory card,to be able to take more pictures,with the 4,I could take almost up to 1600 pictures,and a movie,up 160 minutes,its awesome,love this camera,the BEST!!!!!

i love this camera. it was a fantastic price and it works great! i am always taking pictures with this camera! great color selection too! the only downfall is the program to upload the pictures on stinks! i am always having problems uploading my pictures from my camera onto my computer.

I boutght this camera thinking that it sounded too good to be true. It had a lot of good reviews from other people. I was not disappointed when i took it on vaction with me. the pictures were all crystal clear and all the extra features are awesome. I t is also very small and compact which makes it easier to take with you everywhere you go.

This is the camera to carry all the time. It meets the top specs and the top style.

If you're limited on price - then this is a good camera, I returned mine though and decided to stick with my Sony Cybershot camera. The Fuji was great for indoor photos, even better than the Cybershot on some - but Sony won for outdoor shots although the Fuji photos were still fine. If I didn't have the Sony to compare it to, I would think this camera is excellent and you can't beat the price!

Ever since I started using digital cameras, I have been an avid Fuji devotee. When my last camera broke from being just dropped once, I knew I needed a durable camera, especially with a lens cover! This was has delivered from day one with crisp, clear, and vibrant pictures as well as a vast improvement of video quality!! I could not be happier. The only thing that was a bit of an adjustment for me was the size - it's so skinny, but that was a small thing to adapt to when there are so many other good things about it!!

This camera is my third digital. So far, the only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a sepia option. Other than that, it's light, easy to use, and takes good pictures (not as great as I'd expect for a 10 MP camera, but good nonetheless). My first digital was a Fuji Finepix 1.3 MP and it was a great camera. The quality of those pictures easily competed with 3 MP cameras when they came out. My second was a Sony Cybershot - good camera, but this Finepix 10MP has better battery life and takes much better videos (with sound to my surprise). The price on this could not be beat and I would definitely recommend it to the casual photographer.

I love my new camera and look forward to using the video option. I just got back my first pics, so clear and sharp. It is easy to use, the battery is still on its first charge, and even my husband and kids love it.
Thanks!

Not just impressive, but very much so. I like the colors, the looks, the MP and even the zoom is amazing for 3x.

My only minor complaint is that of the slight delay on picture taking. If you are looking to capture a spur of the moment shot, you better allow yourself a couple seconds. (You should have a SLR or something for such anyway.)

The camera's pictures are very fine on a computer screen, and the elimination of red eye is an awesome perk. The software that comes with the device isn't needed to get the pictures from the camera, but it is free and there, so what the heck.

Movie quality is good, not Blue Ray (of course) but helps capture those moments when you forget your video camera. These videos can range in size depending on your memory card.

The accessories are cheap (most of them) and I must advise you on getting a nice large memory card for extra pictures or movies space.

All in all, Fujifilm does not dissapoint. I can't wait to get out in the woods with mine.

I bought this camera expecting a decent product, and it has turned out to be an excellent one. It takes great pictures, and they're beautiful when printed. It has a lot of features including many shooting modes, face detection technology, etc that make this camera a bargain! Highly recommended!

I bought this camera to replace a Fujifilm A600 that had a short life span. I hope this camera last longer. I bought this camera because of it's size, weight, and fact that the lens does not stick out of the camera. I can keep the camera in my pocket, turn it on, and take it out to be discreet if need be.

I do not like the face recognition and analyzing feature unless I am specifically taking a picture of a person. It slows down the camera option. Also, you can not disable automatic review. The minimum is 1.5 seconds which also slows down the speed at which you can take pictures.

I do like the second button for rapid movie recording. Video quality is alright. It is nothing to brag about but decent enough for YouTube. I have yet to print any photos but picture quality on the monitor is wonderful.

Gave my daughter the Z10 for Christmas. My grandaugter fell in love with it. I recently gave my grandaughther the Z20 for her birthday. It was another winner. Very durable, compact and takes great pictures.

This is my third Fujifilm Finepix, and like the two before, this camera meets and exceeds my expectations. It is relatively inexpensive, so given what you pay and what you get, it is a fabulous deal. The camera is also extremely easy to use -- I haven't even touched the owner's manual, though I'm sure I'll find more if I actually read it.

I actually considered the Fujifilm Finepix Z100fd 8MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Pink), but after reading the reviews, I went with this one instead -- and I am so glad. I think this one looks better anyway, and the difference in zoom power makes hardly any difference. And, really, who needs to stand THAT far from the picture's subject?

Scientifically and industrially, Fuji builds world beater optics and optical systems. Mass market cameras are a sideline for them to privilege us with their technology in a consumer package.

Here is the simplest, cheapest, coolest little camera among the pack of little cams. The view finder has a state of the art high resolution LCD. Picture quality is perfect. It's fast and fun. I'm not sure how you could make the user interface more intuitive. There is a lot of technology whipping around inside the package that I can well appreciate.

Because the name is not Nikon or Canon, don't be put off. Fuji consumer products always seem to insure that you get more delight for your money as Fuji fights the known brands for market share by one-upping the competition. This little camera is a another great example.

i decided on the fujifilm finepix z20fd after doing a hard core search for a small digicam. i also looked at similar nikons, cannons, kodaks.
i got it yesterday and i am so happy with it after just taking a few random trial shots! wow!

i TOTALLY rec this little cam if u guys r in the market.... i'll attach some pics i took last night in my trial run. oh and i did ZERO editing to these pics...this is how they took (minus i size reduced them to post).
i'll update this review after i take this baby on vacation and print some pics!
but so far - 5 stars!

I LOVE this camera. Not only does it come in a variety of cool colors, it was great features. It can reduce red eye, detect faces and much more. The pictures come out great. It is also easy to learn how to use.
