The Fuji Finepix A205 is an inexpensive two mega-pixel camera that is perfect for individuals looking for a simple digital solution. Not only is this camera capable of producing vivid pictures, but it has the ability to record up to 20 seconds of video. Nevertheless, this camera is best suited for taking stills and it offers excellent color reproduction and decent resolution.

The Fuji Finepix A205--A Good Inexpensive Choice

Digital cameras often have two types of zoom listed: optical and digital. The two are very different in how they work, but have the same goal of increasing the size of an image. An optical zoom is created by the camera lens, while a digital zoom is an artificial "blow-up" of the image. To that end, the optical zoom image remains sharp while the digital zoom image can show signs of picture deterioration.

With its three times optical zoom and 2.5 times digital zoom, the Fuji Finepix A205 offers what is typically found on most basic digital cameras. We recommend that the digital zoom be used sparingly. Since the camera only has a two mega-pixel chip, blowing up the image digitally will have a tendency of exposing the camera's lower resolution.
