Fujifilm unleashed the FilePix F20, a compact digital camera with Real Photo technology, allowing for true-to-life images. Think of the F20 as a younger version of the F30. With sensitivity levels hovering around ISO 2000, the FinePix F20 comes with Picture Stabilization technology.

Equipped with a 6.3 megapixel 6th generation Super CCD, the FinePix F20 uses an RP Processor II. The i-Flash intelligent flash system selects flash power output and exposure delivering images with the right combination of foreground illumination and background exposure.

The F20 offers 15 scene modes, including the Dual Shot mode where two images are taken successively - one with flash and one without - giving users an opportunity to choose the best image for the given light conditions. Fujifilm claims a battery life for 300 shots. With a Fujinon 3.0x optical zoom lens and big 2.5" preview LCD, this is a perfect starter camera.

The Fujifilm FinePix F20 carries a price tag of US $299.95 and will be available starting August 2006. Check out the specs in the extended entry.
