Fujifilm Finepix S20 Pro Zoom

There a digital photography sites galore out there, but, for me, only Steves Digicams really tells it like it is, and a picture speaks a thousand words. I was interested to see whether Fuji's latest iteration of their Super CCD would deliver the goods.

They've changed the technology so that there is one large sensor and one small sharing more or less the same space: one to capture light and one to capture shadow detail. It sounded like an interesting theory, but the truth is that the hexagonal arrangement of sensors simply fucks up the image. I've said it before, and I say it to anyone who asks: forget Fuji. They are popular because they seem to offer good value for money, but they take a crap photo. The page linked to above shows the stark reality of a Fuji photo and Steve concurs:

"The bottom line for most digital camera buyers today is image quality and price. The FinePix S20 Pro in my opinion does not deliver the level of image quality that we expect from a 'top of the line' digicam. "
