The Fuji A820 packs high-end, advanced features into a simple and affordable camera suitable for anyone from beginner to pro. Closely related to the A900, which is identical aside from an extra megapixel, the A820 features a 2.5-inch anti-glare LCD and a quality Fujinon 4x optical zoom lens. Fuji’s own Super CCD sensor technology and Picture Stabilization help create high quality photos even in less-than-ideal conditions. For those among us who hate reading instruction booklets, the A820 features an icon-based Graphic User Interface, which displays a brief explanation of modes each time a setting is changed, making it easy for amateur users to learn the ropes quickly. A convenient dial allows one-touch access to the most commonly used shooting modes, meaning it’s a breeze to change settings and keep up with the action. Last but not least, this camera makes a leap forward in common sense by accepting both xD and SD/MMC memory cards.
