Gadget heaven: One track mind
"Capturing incriminating evidence on a mobile phone from a night on the lash just doesn't hack it. Luckily, this 10MP shooter from Fuji does just the job with its brilliant MPEG-4 video action. The 14 presets don't include ‘inebriated', ‘pulling a troll' or ‘tied to a lamppost', but at least there's face detection - which helps after a few beers."

Practical Photography - September 2008
"These colourful compacts are light, neat and easy to use... Instead of an optical viewfinder there's a bright 2.5in LCD screen on the back, with a very fast frame rate and optional rule-of-thirds grid.
Most of the useful controls have their own designated buttons so you don't have to hunt through the menu - intelligent face detection and red-eye removal are both accessed via command dials on the camera's back... All our testers liked the viewing screen and found the 8cm close focus very useful."
Overall verdict: "A dinky handbag sized camera that's fun to use" 4/5 stars
What Digital Camera - September 2008
"Fujifilm's Z range has always been one to make a style statement, and the Z20fd offers the latest. Behind the sliding lens cover lies a standard 35-105mm equivalent focal range and 10MP sensor, but the Face Detection, MPEG-4 video recording and a choice of five colour options mark it as a compact for the young and techno-savvy. Something that also stands out is its performance - with fast focusing and a clear menu system."

"The multi-coloured FinePix Z20fd range of 18.8mm-thin compacts is aimed squarely at the younger photographer. A very neat design with sliding lens cover and decent 6.5cm rear screen make a good first impression. Decent images."
