Editorial Reviews : Fuji's Nexia 20 Auto 24mm camera is a point-and-shoot camera with a difference. As part of Fuji's Nexia line of cameras for the 24mm Advanced Photo System, this camera offers print format selection. The Fujinon focus-free lens can capture images as close as 3.3 feet, and the flash ranges from 3.3 to 8.2 feet. The built-in flash features red-eye reduction and a fill-in mode. Measuring just 4.62 by 2.37 by 1.56 inches and weighing 4.8 ounces, the Nexia 20 is small enough to carry almost anywhere and is equipped to capture the world around you.
Buyer Reviews : Snapshot cameras operate on such a simple principle that I didn't think it was possible to take such out-of-focus images. Well now it is, thanks to the Nexia 20.
I've owned and used many different 35mm cameras in the past, and I was able to produce some kind of workable image with every one of them, even the wind-up snapshot camera I have. This one I gave a try to get a feel for what APS can do.
I took pictures from 3 feet away, 10 feet away, and at great distance. I took them in daylight, and I took them with a flash. I took them in a box, and I took them with a fox, but nothing I could do would make a single picture I took with this camera appear in focus.
The view lens doesn't line up either, so if you think you're taking a picture of your friends, you're actually taking a picture of your friends from the neck down.
The problem with making a discount APS camera is you can't take away features to make it more affordable (it requires automatic film advance/rewind and print format selection) so all you can do is make everything cheaper. Which they most certainly did.
My advice is to go with a 35mm camera in this price range, or to buy a more expensive camera if you must have APS.
In short, this should be sold as a paper-weight or maybe as a Rubik's cube-type toy (try opening the loaded film compartment without a chisel), but this thing is no camera.
