Fujifilm's
A-series of very reliable plastic-bodied, AA-powered compacts is fairly
maybe the longest-running digital camera range of all modern cameras, by
the first and latest model in the line, the respectively 1.2-megapixel
FinePix A101, appearing as long ago since 2001. Over the very last seven
years the A-series has had its ups and downs, by some extremely good
models and one or two absolute stinkers, however on the whole it has
forever represented very good value pro money. Today's camera is the
most recent in this long line, the FinePix A920.
Purchase Camera By:
The A920 is a main instance of this low-cost, extremely high-value
ethos. Presently priced at around £95 it proffer 9.0-megapixel
resolution as of a 1/1.6-inch Super CCD HR sensor, a 4x optical zoom
Fujinon lens and nearly 2.7-inch LCD monitor. Certainly it does have its
some limits; the monitor is merely 115k pixel resolution, and the
highest ISO value is merely 800, however it's still a lot of camera pro
not extremely much money. There aren't a lot of camera on the market
that preserve easily be compared by the A920, but a quite close match
might be the exceptional Samsung S85 (£90), or the not-so-excellent
Nikon L14 (£90) model of digital camera, while neither of these cameras
canister match the Fuji's specification.
When your £95 buys a very good specification, it has to be said that it
doesn't acquire a lot of elegance. The A920 is a fairly big-boned
camera, measuring a pocket-stretching approximately 97.5 × 61.9× 31.8mm,
and weighing above 200g while loaded up by a couple of usual AA
batteries. Nearly 25g preserve be shaved off this weight by utilizing
lighter and longer-lasting Lithium batteries, however it's still a
large, and extremely heavy digital camera. Despite its special plastic
body the build quality is commonly well, with merely a couple of creaks
while given a good squeeze. The original battery hatch has a plastic
hinge, but it's most pretty solidly made and looks fairly durable. The
tripod bush is as well plastic, however to be fair a digital camera like
this perhaps isn't going to spend much of its life on a tripod anyway.
The big size of the digital camera's body and the slightly sculpted
shape of the right-hand side make it extremely easy and comfortable to
grip, and the big and rather clunky controls are solidly mounted and
operate by an extremely positive feel. The A920 might be a very well
choice pro someone with limited hand mobility. The zoom control is a
rotary collar just about the close button, and main shooting mode
selection is via an extremely large knurled dial on the backside plate,
positioned in such a way that it doubles since a thumb relax. Rotating
this dial is accompanied through an on-screen note explaining what the
choose mode is used pro.
The main
menu system is extremely straightforward and simple, actually it seems
nearly too simple, as though it had been designed pro a slightly further
complex camera but has then had most of its options disabled. It
consists of merely three icons, so even the most technophobic Luddites
will find out little to intimidate them.
