Price and Impression

Images taken by the XP20 are well exposed and having good colour reproduction. Iit does not have much signs of purple fringing. The images are let down by the amount of detail in the images.

Macro images are good and the camera is able to focus closer than the 9cm stated by Fuji, but detail is lacking when shooting wide and even worse when using the lens at its longest. The last is about the price. Having such a features and performances, this camera is way so cheap that you only have to pay around $150 by the year of this camera is announced in 2011.
