Priced at US$199 the Finepix A920 is a 9 megapixel digital camera designed specifically for the first-time digital camera buyer and consumers seeking an affordable upgrade to the current digital camera.

According to Fujifilm, the A920 is an affordable, easy-to-operate entry-level camera that is loaded with features usually reserved for more advanced models.

Key features include:

• 9.03 Megapixels, 1/1.6” CCD
• Macro allows photography from 10-80 cm (Wide Angle), 26-80 cm (Telephoto)
• 4x optical zoom
• Focal length 8.8mm - 35.2mm (35mm equivalent 39-156mm)

• Dimensions of 97.3 mm x 61.7 mm x 32.1 mm (W x H x D)
• Super CCD sensor technology, a 4.0x optical zoom lens and features a 2.7” LCD

What the manufacturer says:

The Finepix A920 is equipped with an easy-to-identify picture stabilization setting that automatically chooses the correct light sensitivity and best-matching shutter speed, producing the highest quality digital pictures without blur and the noise often associated with high sensitivity photographs.

What reviewers and users are saying:

“There are other budget cameras with fancier components and features, but the A920 has better image quality than its competitors. Add in its ease of use, and it’s a strong contender in the budget market.”- Emily Raymond

“If you are looking for a camera that will be good to use with a newborn or on holiday and you like printing your pictures up quite large, then get this camera.”-ePhotozine

“While it produced nice 9-megapixel images, and the larger 2.7-inc display is a welcomed addition, the slower shooting performance times, and sub VGA movie mode bring it’s appeal down a bit.”- Steve’s Digicams

Our comment:

For a digital camera priced this low and yet packed with a decently powerful 9.0 megapixel resolution, the Finepix A920 is definitely a good buy. The IR facility is an added bonus that makes this camera a good option for an entry-level digital camera.
