Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR

 

It may not be a DSLR, but the FinePix S200EXR ($600 as of 11/13/09) is the sort of advanced point-and-shoot camera that's an enthusiast's dream. With a layout that mimics a typical SLR's design, it offers superb handling, megazoom reach, advanced...

EXR modes for dynamic range and low noise ; 14.3X optical zoom with manual focus ring

Lag between sequential shots ; EXR modes reduce image resolution by half ; Disappointing, standard-definition video

This elegantly designed megazoom camera has a wealth of unique exposure options for serious photographers.

Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR Review

 

The Fujifilm Finepix S200EXR is a new super-zoom camera with a 14.3x, 30.5mm-436mm zoom lens, primarily aimed at people who want a DSLR experience without the cost and bulk of a true DSLR system. Replacing the S100FS model, the Fujifilm S200EXR...

The FinePix S200EXR builds on the successful design of the previous S100FS with the logical addition of Fujifilm's exciting EXR technology, although we miss the tiltable LCD screen and slightly wider-angle lens of its predecessor. The S200EXR is one of...

Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR Review

 

Fujifilm touts the FinePix S200EXR as a rival to any entry-level DSLR.

Great ISO performance ; RAW capability ; Very good image quality

Cost ; Lower-res video ; Low zoom range for class

The S200EXR is an excellent camera and I would have to say the best ultrazoom overall that I've tested. Image quality is very good and no one in the class has better ISO performance. The camera offers a full range of manual and automatic shooting...

Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR

 

Is this the best super-zoom camera of the year?

Manual 14.3x (30.5-436mm) lens ; Powerful flash ; Manual controls ; Great low light performance ; Electronic viewfinder

Large and heavy body ; Only VGA video ; Fixed monitor

Fujifilm has once again produced a superb feature-packed super-zoom camera that sets new standards for image quality and versatility, providing more control than most entry-level DSLRs. As a hobby photographer's camera the S200EXR is in a class of its...

Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR digital camera

 

With the trend of late for ever-larger zoom lenses crammed within ever more miniscule camera bodies, Fujifilm's new S200EXR – which offers a 14.3x optical variety – comes as a something of a shock. So does the Fujifilm S200EXR offer pretty much all...

Sturdy construction, intuitive operation, broad focal range allows for a wider variety of creative choices

Priced the same as an entry level DSLR (albeit cheaper than one coupled with a lens with the equivalent focal range), standard definition video

So does the Fujifilm S200EXR offer pretty much all that a DSLR does, whilst saving the need to swap lenses or invest in additional optics? No, but it gets a fair degree of the way there, the combination of Super CCD EXR sensor and bolted-on Fujinon...

Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR

 

The S200EXR stands on its own as a hybrid between a superzoom and SLR, with a 14.3x optical zoom lens and Fuji's Super CCD sensor. Expect great pictures but be prepared for backaches.

JPEG and RAW capture. Good image quality. Built like a tank.

Built like a tank that's incredibly heavy. No HD video.

Fujifilm's S200EXR stands on its own: not quite a superzoom, not quite an SLR. It takes great pictures but it's heavy, and foregoes luxuries like HD video.

Fujifilm Finepix S200EXR review

 

The S200EXR is the first bridge camera we've seen in a long time. Bridge cameras have controls and ergonomics to rival SLR cameras, but are built around small sensors similar to those found in compact cameras. They were once seen as a low-cost...

Performance could be better, but with SLR-like controls and exceptional image quality, this is the best ultra-zoom camera we’ve seen.
