Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR video review

Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR front angle
  • More Photos
  • Video

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. With a manually operated 14.3x lens and EXR sensor providing excellent low light performance, as a hobby photographer's camera the S200EXR is in a class of its own, and at its current price it's outstanding value for money.

If only this camera either had an articulated LCD like it's predecessor or HD movie recording then I could ignore it's huge weight and size and easily choose it over Canon SX20 or Panasonic FZ35.

Is it me or does the jpeg compression in those pictures look really ugly? If you look at the 'centre sharpness' concrete wall test image, it's been smushed and it looks like it's made of rice cakes. Did they use the watercolour filter to remove the noise??

"but but in the third shooting mode it also" (Page 1)


I was tempted to say, no ifs or buts in that review and score, then two come along at the same time.





Where's Simouth Harbour this trip ? all together now, We want Sidmouth harbour !





Another good review Cliff, the introduction with the overview of the market niche and products provided a good perspective.


@jopey, sorry, no, I didn't see the effect you refer to, maybe though if I stared at it long enough : - )

@Cliff - Is this a worthwhile upgrade over the last camera? I finally managed to talk my boss into spending a few pennies on the last version this year after being stuck with a little compact for 2 years. Should I start my moaning to him for this one? In two years time he should break lol

@Cliff, thanks for another fascinating review of a sexy camera! I read almost all your camera reviews -- but I have a big plea: would you please begin to post at least ONE downloadable original raw file from each camera you review? I don't ever shoot JPG, as I hate how all cameras maul and chew the data into a lossy mush, and I want to see how my raw converters handle handle the various sample files. Thanks!

Nice review. I'm happy with my Sony Alpha A200 but before I got it I tried my sister's Finepix S9000 and Oh boy! It's such a good camera. I wonder why you didn't make a review of the Sony HX1 this year. It was awarded the best super zoom camera by the TIPA association.

Ahh, the Fuji superzoom.. makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and takes me back to those early digital days where the sun always shined.. Ask many a professional what was their first "serious" foray into digital, and it's a good chance it was one of this camera's illustrious predecessors'. I worked my way through a S7000, S9500 and a E900 (like a S9500 in miniature) and loved every minute. I picked up a S5800 a few months ago in that big blue red and white supermarket chain for the bargain price of £75. I have absolutely no need for it, but nostalgia feels so good!
