Fujifilm today announced the FinePix F20 digital camera. Sitting alongside the TIPA award winning FinePix F30 in Fujifilm's high-end compact range, the FinePix F20 is an affordable digital camera for photo-lovers who won't compromise on quality. The camera's ISO 100-2000 sensitivity delivers detailed, natural looking photographs with no need for flash even in very low light.

The FinePix F20's sleek, lightweight proportions belie its technology-heavy specifications and leave other 'style' compacts in the dark. Featuring Fujifilm's 6th generation 6.3 megapixel Super CCD, Real Photo Processor II and ISO 100-2000 sensitivity, it delivers images that are sharp and natural in bright sunshine, low-light or with fast-moving subjects. Fujifilm's Real Photo Technology cameras are among the only digital compact cameras to deliver high ISO at full resolution. This means there's no need for a trade off between high-quality, low-light photography, and potential print size.

For flash photography, the FinePix F20's iFlash system automatically sets power output and exposure for balanced results, combining natural foreground illumination with optimum background exposure. Furthermore, its innovative 'Natural Light & Flash' Dual Shot mode takes two shots in quick succession; one with flash, and one without, then displays them side-by-side for on-the-spot comparison.

With one-touch Picture Stabilization, 14 scene positions, beach, snow and fireworks, and 300 shot battery life, the FinePix F20 will be a constant companion producing photographs of stunning quality no matter where you take them.
