 Easy Interface, Ultra Thin, Great Resolution |

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.

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. |

| I bought this camera for work and it is awsome. Easy to use and that battery life is great, I've had it for over a month and still have not had to charge it. Great camera for the price. |
Great Compact Point and Shoot

| I received this camera for Father's Day and love it. I already own a Fujifilm SLR-type camera for more serious photography. However, I wanted a compact point and shoot for family photographs at restaurants, birthday parties, etc. With a more sophisticated camera it is nearly impossible to hand your camera to a waitress or stranger and ask them to take a group photo. When you do the photos often come out blurry, etc. Since this camera fits easily into my pants or shirt pocket, I can take it anywhere. In most instances, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the photos taken with my SLR type camera and this one. The different settings (e.g. "beach" and "fireworks")are intuitive and actually work as advertised. For me, this camera has three strong points: (1) it is the smallest, most compact camera I could find without having to pay two or three hundred dollars; (2) the viewing screen is quite large (my wife and daughter have more expensive Kodaks with much smaller viewing screens); and (3)it can be used right out of the box without the need for reading instruction booklets. I would agree with another reviewer that the lag time between pushing the button and the time the flash goes off takes a little getting used to. However, tell your subjects that you are going to take the picture on "three" and push the button on "two" and that takes care of the problem. |
Fuji makes a fine camera

| I've had a fuji camera in the past and was very pleased. It is very compact & takes great pictures. I recommend this camera to anyone who likes to take their camera with them at all times. |
