Taking photos in dark places oftentimes leaves you with a lousy choice: either use the flash and potentially have a washed-out foreground and dark background, or go without the flash and get nothing but shadows. Fujifilm's new 6-megapixel F20 digital camera aims to make the whole process a bit easier and give you better photos while it's at it. Coming with a Natural Light & Flash feature, the F20 gauges how much light is in the area and then scales back the flash's intensity accordingly, lessening the chances of your taking photos that make your friends look like a bunch of mimes. It also shoots the picture with and without the flash, taking the guesswork out and letting you choose which way would have worked better in any particular situation. Rounding out the package is a nice 2.5-inch LCD screen and 3X optical zoom. The F20 will be released in September, and although there's no pricing info available as of yet it probably won't cost more than $400 based on similar cameras already on the market.
