Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD

Very compact, comfortable design ; lots of shooting options ; 720p MPEG-4 video ; relatively inexpensive

Slow performance ; visible image noise even at low ISO sensitivities ; mediocre EVF

The nicely designed Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD has more going on than just its long lens, but photo quality isn't quite there.

For a sub-$300 megazoom digital camera, the Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD offers a lot for an advanced amateur photographer. This package isn't perfect however, as image quality and performance don't match the S2000HD's feature set--just its budget...

Fujifilm Finepix S2000HD review

By Mike Perlman

In our Fujifilm Finepix S2000HD review, we take this superzoom camera for a few photographic excursions. Will the image quality and video performance match its great handling?

Solid miniature DSLR-esque handling. Decent Manual Controls. Good battery life.

Mediocre image quality. Half of the Mode dial options need to be revamped. Bland menu system.

Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD Review

By Gavin Stoker

The Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD's headline features certainly tick the required boxes: 10 megapixel resolution, 15x optical zoom (equivalent to 27.6-414mm in 35mm terms) backed up by dual image stabilisation (CCD shift plus high ISO) and, here, a movie ...

Although the Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD has the usual compliment of creative controls and 'DSLR lite' looks, suggesting that it's suitable for the budding pro seems a little wide of the mark. So, is the S2000HD alternatively a good option for the ...

FujiFilm's FinePix S2000HD

By Rick Oldano

FujiFilm's latest camera sports a mind-boggling 15X zoom, but learning to use this camera to its fullest potential can get tricky.

So, what should the photographer be thinking if presented with the FujiFilm S2000HD as a possible selection? For all its problems, the camera does take good images. The color fidelity is more than acceptable. We would likely recommend always leaving ...

Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD Digital Camera First Impressions Review

By Mark Brezinski

The Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD camera is an advanced point-and-shoot, putting many SLR-type features in the hands of point-and-shooters. The marquee feature of the S2000HD is a powerful 15x optical zoom, particularly noteworthy on a $300 camera. Beyond ...

- 15x optical zoom - Intuitive control layout - Reasonably priced for what it does

- Poor menu layout - Not particularly beginner-friendly - Noisy live view

At $300, the Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD is essentially a scaled-down version of the Olympus SP-565 UZ. The menu system isn't as well organized, the zoom isn't as powerful, the screen is much noisier, and it doesn't provide nearly the same breadth of ...

The marquee feature of the S2000HD is a powerful 15x optical zoom, particularly noteworthy on a $300 camera. Beyond the magnitude of the magnification, though, however, the S2000HD feels rather ordinary. We spent some quality time with the S2000HD...

Compact design is also comfortable ; Very nice grip ; 15x optical zoom with 5.7x digital zoom and optical image stabilization ; High resolution electronic viewfinder ; Custom option on Mode dial to recall special settings ; Natural Light & With Flash ...

No Aperture Priority mode ; Blown highlights are routine ; Camera overexposes images by default ; Strong to moderate chromatic aberration across the image at all focal lengths ; Macro gets close, but is soft ; Barrel distortion is high at wide angle ; ...

Befitting its SLR-like styling, the Fuji S2000HD offers a good range of manual controls - including the ability to shoot in shutter-priority mode or fully manually, as well as manual control of focus, white balance and ISO sensitivity. When controlled ...
