Powerful 8.3 megapixel Super CCD sensor
At the heart of this camera lies the new 8.3 m pixel Super CCD HR sensor, which is the reason why images of such high quality and clarity can be captured. A sensor of this size means that pictures will be rich in detail and colour, and will enable excellent prints to be made at 8" by 10" or even bigger.
Blur-free results
With such variable weather in this country, so many shots are spoilt with normal compacts by image blur caused by low sensitivity sensors.
Because the A820 is fitted with a Super CCD sensor, it's able to boost sensitivity to a maximum ISO 800, and lets you freeze fast action with surprising ease.
Perfect flash shots
Flash can be such a blunt instrument on most cameras, giving unflattering washed-out shots when what you really want are natural pictures of warmth and feeling.
The A820 has been fitted with Fuji's latest Intelligent Flash Technology, which reads a scene in milliseconds and cleverly balances foreground and background light to give beautifully exposed, balanced shots without the ugly, harsh, overexposed face shots so common with other cameras.
Great versatility
The camera has been pre-set to optimise your pictures in a variety of different settings, from natural light portraits to long exposure shots at night.
The A820 is fitted with five shooting models and 14 separate scene positions. You tell the camera what kind of shots you want to take, and the on-board computer makes all the decisions about optimum camera settings. This may sound complicated, but the new GUI (or on-screen shooting guide) couldn't be more straightforward.
Movies as well...
The A820 can be used to record movie clips as well as still pictures. Up to nearly an hour of QVGA recording can be made on a 2 GB card at 30 frames per sec, with monoaural sound.
