Fujifilm Announces the A920 Digital Camera for Beginners

Fujifilm also announced another new entry level digital camera today called the FinePix A920 that is designed specifically for first time photographers. The camera uses Fujifilm’s Super CCD, but the press release fails to mention how many megapixels the camera has. With the cheaper camera I talked about before being 8.1MP, it would be a safe bet this one is at least the same.

To make navigation easy the camera uses an icon based GUI and takes advantage of Picture Stabilizations to remove shake form images. I have owned several FinePix cameras over the years and the thing I always hated most was the xD card they required.

The new A920 can use xD, SD, and SDHC memory cards via a single card slot. The LCD is a large 2.7” screen with anti-glare properties; the camera has 15 scene modes and can capture video at 640 x 480 at 30 fps. IrSimple technology is used to make it easy to connect to other Ir devices to transfer images like PDAs and other digital cameras. The A920 will be available in September for $199.95.
