I bought I new compact (mainly for underwater photography) recently which is the Fujifilm F200 but I've also just won in a raffle a Samsung ES20.
First thing to notice is that the F200 is about £200 - 250 and the ES20 is about £70 so of course one is better than the other but when I look at the specs acouple of things dont seem to quite make sense but Im guessing its because Im a beginner!

Here are some specs I've noticed seem to differ in a way I wouldnt expect? I know these settings dont set in stone how good the camera is but why are they like this:
F200 - ES20
Shutter speed: 8 ~ 1/1500 sec - 8 ~ 1/2000 sec (You may never need it but why is the maximum faster??)
Aperture: F3.3 ~ F14 - F2.8 ~ F6.1 (Maybe not a greater range but why is the maximum aperture only 3.3??)
Theres other specs but there the ones that popped out at me, could anyone give me an explanation. I dont want anyone picking faults with either camera because they dont like them for some reason Im just comparing specs.
Thanks,
Technical
