I feel I must first point out that I never felt compelled to use a compact digital camera before I happened across this nifty little camera.

At around £110.00 I think the Fujifilm Finepix Z20fd is among the top in it's class and well worth the purchase.

At 10.0MP this, light weight and pocket sized, camera is very versatile and capable of capturing some cracking images - even in the hands of the most novice of users.
The 10 Megapixels enable you to create poster sized prints as well as the standard photo prints without any loss of quality or detail.

To couple with the high MP count you also have other wonderful features such as the face recognition, anti-shake and many other presets along with the option to control manually (perfect, if like myself, you are used to 35mm or DigitalSLRs and like that extra bit of control).

The sensitivity (ISO range up to 1600) is also right up there with the best so you can capture great images in the lowest of light conditions.
The only thing I can find to fault in this is that some of the automatic modes pick the incorrect ISO for the shot making the finished picture more grainy/noisy than it should be.

The technology is not the only thing to make this camera stand out - it's also it's sleek and tactile design.
It is a trully comfortable bit of kit to use and takes any hassle out of capturing your perfect image.

In terms of photo storage/memory, again, you are rather spoilt for choice. You can use xD, SD and SD-HC cards so you are not limited unlike many other models out there.

So, if you want a gorgeous looking, pocket able high performance compact digital camera then this is the one for you!
