Advantages: Suitable for all skill levels, Great response, Increased control over pictures
Disadvantages: Takes a while to become familiar, Price a little high on release

I had the pleasure of getting my hands on a demo model from work an it was an experience. This camera looks and feels great, nice and bulky in the hand, might be a little too big for smaller hands. The boot up time is a joy, almost instantaneous from off to shooting that first picture. The wealth of controls this camera has to offer is unparalleled by any bridge camera currently on the market, while all of these features take a while to get used ... Read review

Advantages: The colour
Disadvantages: Red-eye!

I bought this camera mainly because it was cheap, and that is reflected in the overall quality. to be frank it's not worth the £85 I paid for it! It is a difficult camera to use when you want to review the photos already taken, after around six months it became apparent something was wrong it kept flashing 'read error' at me! Don't get me wrong, for a first camera this is ideal as it isn't too complicated, but for quality photographs I recommend ...
...I've had many photos ruined because of red eye issues. Yet as much as i dislike it, it does have a good feature in the shape of the colour. The light blue is a very nice colour, but the gold colour of mine does let the camera down a great deal. It can be a very aesthetically pleasing camera just the picture quality that lets it down a bit. The actual company of Fuji is a reliable company but they didn't seem to work too hard on this camera as it ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent macro, good photo in all lighting conditions
Disadvantages: Bulky (by today's standards), expensive to buy

I've owned this camera for about four years. I bought it after reviewing other cameras in the same price bracket and although the first company I tried to buy it from told me it would be too heavy for a woman (it weighs about 1.5 lbs) I was going from a non-digital SLR that was much heavier. I have never regretted my decision to buy it. The functions are easy to understand and the convenient storage on a CD-RW makes transfer to the computer very ...
...very close photo of flower is a piece of cake. The results are truly professional. It will take a good photo in all light conditions with or without the flash and for really dark situations it has a projected light grid that shows where the centre of the screen is. I would thoroughly recommend it. ... Read review

Advantages: Takes most Nikon lenses, good controls, great picture quality.
Disadvantages: None really

...little biased. Ownership of several Nikon lenses decided the choice, and I wasn't disappointed. It's easy to use or can be customised to suit exactly what you want. Great results, and the built in flash isn't bad either. Does everything that I need and a whole lot more besides. If you've ever owned one of the AF film Nikons, most of the controls should be fairly instinctive. I added the 17 - 80 AFS lens, which I use most of the time. The standard ... Read review

Advantages: Light weight yet robust
Disadvantages: Small sensor limit's full 35mm lenses, slightly red cast.

I am a professional photographer and use a 20D as one of my backups. This is an excellent semi pro camera that is user friendly enough for any beginner. With image quality suitable for printing up to A2 from a RAW file. I would strongly recommend shooting in RAW wherever possible as the JPEG compression can be very limiting for post shoot editing and any image correction you may need to apply. To get the most out of the camera I would recommend ... Read review
