| Fujifilm X20 Review Fuji's new X20 camera follows in the success of the X10 and X100 released last year. While it may look just like the X10, Fuji has made some outstanding improvements to the X20 that have greatly improved the overall image quality of the camera. One of the new additions to the X20 is the powerful 2/3-inch X-Trans CMOS II, 12-Megapixel imaging sensor. Including a random pixel array and phase detection, this new sensor increases resolution, sharpness and greatly increases the speed of the AF system. Powering this sensor is the EXR Processor II, which has carried over from their EXR line, providing excellent shooting performance and an increase in noise reduction. Rounding out the major improvements is the new Advanced Optical zoom viewfinder, which adds plenty of exposure information that was not there before. The new X-Trans CMOS image sensor is the predecessor to their popular EXR CMOS sensor. It has been designed with a random pixel array to eliminate moiré without the need for an additional filter. This allows more light to get to the sensor, increasing the quality of the image, low-light performance and reducing the noise at high ISO settings. The 2/3-inch sensor allows this 12-Megapixel sensor to feature larger pixels, thus improving its ability to capture light. Combining this with the EXR processor gives it fantastic shooting performance as well... Continue Reading | Canon PowerShot A2600 Review | | ISS Commander's Tips on Taking Photos...

He was posing with a freshly plucked Hyacinth, holding it aloft. Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM, f/2, 1/2000, ISO 100 I would probably increase the aperture if taking the shot again to ensure the flowers in the foreground were in focus but other than that I'm very pleased with the results."
