Fujifilm X20
Featuring the same 'retro' styling as its predecessor, the Fujifilm X20 appears superficially identical to the X10. But inside there have been plenty of changes to bring this advanced digicam up-to-date.

Digital with the flavour and pedigree of the rangefinders of yore. The manual zoom, the viewfinder, the size and lovely quality of the captures create an almost instant love affair with the X20. It's a joy in the hand.

Brilliantly conceived with a few operational frustrations
Brilliant. Only the lack of a built-in neutral density filter is frustrating, as the camera will only shoot up to 1/1000 of sec. at wider apertures (a limitation of the leaf shutter, which, however, allows one to synch flash at higher speeds.

Pros:
- Easy to use
- Compact
- Build quality
Cons:
- Battery life

Fujifilm X20

Pros:

- retro style
- great build quality
- bright and sharp f/2.0-2.8 zoom lens
- zooming optical viewfinder (OVF) with digital overlay outshines competitors
- approximate hyperfocal distance display in MF
Cons:

- 85 per cent OVF only
- OVF has some distortion
- focus areas won't always display in OVF (unavoidable design constraint)
- AF-C not up to scratch
