Despite its size, the FinePix J20’s black metal body houses a 10 MegaPixel CCD, a Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens and a brilliant 2.7” LCD which displays images with sharpness and clarity. The FinePix J250 boasts a 3” high resolution LCD and Fujinon 5x wide angle optical zoom which makes it easy to capture distant objects or large groups at close range.

“Consumers’ needs have changed over the past several years,” said David Troy, marketing manager, Electronic Imaging Division, Fujifilm U.S.A. Inc. “To us, it’s an indication that people have come to better understand digital photography, and are looking for a wider array of sophisticated features and solutions to help them do more with their cameras without making the camera more complicated.
