Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR Reviews

GoodGearGuide reviews the Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR and writes;
“Almost everything about the S200EXR seems snappy–except the time between shots, which is around 2 seconds. That lag is perhaps the biggest distinction between the S200EXR and a digital SLR.”

“The build quality, handling and controls of the Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR really are surprising given its price. It’s just like a digital SLR, but much cheaper, and so much more pleasant to handle than rival superzooms, thanks to its size and manual zoom control. But the clever EXR technology feels like an add-on, and the small sensor size puts a cap on picture quality”

“All in all, were impressed with the Finepix F200EXR. The EXR sensor is a step forward in camera technology and really does help improve image quality, especially in terms of dynamic range.”

CNETasia reviews the Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR and writes;
“The good: Excellent picture quality; RAW image capture; effective noise reduction control. The bad: Lens not as wide as S100FS’; no HD video option; no tilting LCD; size of camera not suitable for everyone. The bottom line: The S200EXR is an ideal shooter for enthusiasts who demand the best picture quality and can forgo features such as high-resolution video recording.”

Photoxels reviews the Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR and writes;
“We find the overall image quality of the Fujifilm S200EXR to be very good at ISO 100 with low noise and good image detail. Image quality is very good up to ISO 400 and ISO 800 is very usable; at higher ISOs, images suffer from noise and loss of detail.”

PhotographyBlog reviews the Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR and writes;
“S200EXR produced images of excellent quality during the review period. The 12 megapixel sensor produces noise-free images at ISO 100-400, with some limited noise starting to appear at ISO 800. ISO 1600 exhibits fairly visible noise and loss of fine detail but is still very usable”

ePhotozine reviews the Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR and writes;
“I can’t argue the image quality, it’s very good and I think in the right hands, it’ll produce sterling images… If you’re looking for a camera that can reproduce images that remind you of the heady days of film, then this is the camera to get.”

Cameras.uk reviews the Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR and writes;
“The Fuji Finepix S200EXR is about as close as you can get to a Digital SLR without buying one. I was delighted by my test results and the camera handled superbly too. It was a joy to use a twisting barrel lens and the selection wheel speeds up selecting key settings. There are enough features here to satisfy more demanding photographers and I am more than happy to strongly recommend this camera.”

Pocket-Lint reviews the Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR and writes;
“The good: Sturdy construction, intuitive operation, broad focal range allows for a wider variety of creative choices. The bad: Priced the same as an entry level DSLR (albeit cheaper than one coupled with a lens with the equivalent focal range), standard definition video. Verdict: A jack-of-all-trades super zoom that whilst it may not offer the broadest range on the market, offers one of the best builds and a distinctive feature set none the less”

DigitalTrends reviews the Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR and writes;
“if the S200EXR were around $100 cheaper, we’d be cheering. But it’s not, and that’s why it won’t get an Editor’s Choice designation. Still, this is solid digicam with a wide focal range that delivers good images in the proper light. It’s worth checking out, especially if you don’t want to drop a bundle on interchangeable lenses.”

PhotoReview.au reviews the Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR and writes;
“Image noise started to become visible in long exposures from ISO 400 on and both pattern and colour noise were evident in shots taken at ISO 1600. Shots taken at ISO 3200 appeared blotchy and noticeably softened (though usable at small sizes), while by ISO 6400 and ISO 12800 we considered images to be unusable.”
