Camera Overview — Fujifilm A820

The Fujifilm FinePix A820 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around an 8MP, 1/2.5-inch sensor processed through Fujifilm's own image processor. It captures stills at a maximum resolution of 3264x2448 pixels, with an ISO range spanning 100 to 800, giving users a reasonable spread of sensitivity for everyday shooting conditions. The 2.5-inch fixed LCD display offers 115,000 dots of resolution, serving as the primary compositing interface since no viewfinder is present.

For video, the A820 records at up to 480p resolution at 30fps in 8-bit color, which suits basic home video needs. Autofocus is handled through a contrast detection system without subject tracking or eye detection. The camera relies on a pair of standard AA batteries, providing an estimated 150–300 shots per charge — a practical advantage given how widely available AA cells are.

Storage is handled via SD card or compatible alternatives. Connectivity is limited to USB, with no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The plastic body measures 98 x 62 x 32 mm and weighs 205g, making it genuinely pocketable.

There is no image stabilization of any kind, and no hot shoe is present. A built-in flash is included. No weather sealing is provided.
