The Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR is a top-of-the-line super zoom with D-SLR-like performance for camera enthusiasts looking for excellent picture quality without the hassle, bulk and expense of a D-SLR system. Thanks to a 12MP Super CCD EXR Sensor and a 14.3x optical zoom lens 7.1-101.5mm (35mm equivalent: 30.5-436mm), the S200EXR provides superior picture quality, while incorporating a "3-in-1" sensor combination of Fine Capture Technology (High Resolution), Pixel Fusion Technology (High Sensitivity & Low Noise), and Dual Capture Technology (Wide Dynamic Range).
The FinePix S200EXR boasts several shooting modes that combine the power of Super CCD EXR with Multi Frame Technology to enable users to capture exceptional images that rival expensive professional D-SLR cameras. The EXR Auto mode not only automatically recognizes the scene and selects the ideal shooting mode, but also switches the sensor to the perfect capture mode for the conditions.
The FinePix S200EXR is equipped with a 14.3x super zoom that delivers distant action up close and gets everyone in the picture or gets the subject and background in the frame. It also boasts a super macro that yields beautiful close-ups, which can provide solutions for product, medical, nature, jewelry and a wide range of other applications.
The S200EXR takes the work out of getting the desired image. Its unique shooting modes and functions take the hassle out of getting the right exposure, letting the shooter concentrate on getting the shot.
- Extreme Sensor Super CCD EXR
- The Super CCD EXR provides superior picture quality, enabling a "3-in-1" sensor combination of Fine Capture Technology (High Resolution), Pixel Fusion Technology (High Sensitivity & Low Noise), and Dual Capture Technology (Wide Dynamic Range). With an innovative color filter array and image processing technology, the EXR ensures an advanced reproduction in imaging with exceptionally balanced quality.
- Full EXR Image Quality
- The S200EXR processor employs an advanced electric charge to control the output from the Super CCD EXR sensor. This simultaneously minimizes all forms of noise while allowing more natural colors, higher resolution, and quicker processing. This technology also makes possible rapid continuous shooting and the new Multi Frame technology that allows the S200EXR to automatically align a number of separate exposures into one image.
- Superb Lens Resolution
-
The 14.3x zoom lens 7.1-101.5mm (35mm equivalent: 30.5-436mm) designed for the S200EXR comprises 13 elements in 10 groups including aspherical and low-dispersion glass elements. The aspherical elements ensure low distortion and superior light-gathering abilities.
Low-dispersion glass elements minimize optical aberrations that cause color smearing and fringing when shooting at longer focal lengths. The result is high resolution and outstanding imaging performance throughout the entire zoom range. A number of the elements are multi-coated to reduce reflections, minimizing ghosting and flare.
- Pro Focus Mode
- This focus-bracketing mode emulates the gentle, out-of-focus background look of a D-SLR when shooting portraits or macro subjects. A single press of the shutter first takes an exposure focused on the main subject, then additional exposures at different focus points. This produces a final image emphasizing the sharply focused subject against a soft, out-of-focus background. 1
- Pro Low-Light Mode
- Ideal for shooting non-moving subjects in low light, this mode automatically takes a series of four high-sensitivity & low-noise exposures and then combines them into an image with less noise than the single exposures.
- EXR Auto Mode
- In the EXR AUTO Mode, not only does the camera automatically recognize the scene and select the ideal shooting mode, but also switches the sensor to the perfect capture mode for the conditions. Automatic Scene Recognition adjusts the camera for various situations that include Portrait, Landscape, Night Macro, Night Portrait and Backlit Portrait. With Automatic Sensor Switching, the S200EXR will adjust to High Resolution, for bright scenes, Wide Dynamic Range for high-contrast scenes and High Sensitivity and Low Noise, for dark scenes.
- Bracketing Functions
- The FinePix S200EXR has three bracketing functions useful for high-level photography. Film Simulation Bracketing, the camera produces three images of PROVIA, Velvia and ASTIA films; Dynamic Range Bracketing, produces three images in a different dynamic range (100%, 200%, 400%); and with AE Bracketing, the camera enables continuous capture of three frames with exposure range of up to ±1.0EV.
- High-speed, High-precision AF Modes
- The AF modes offer high-speed, high-precision focusing even for subjects in low light with increased AF sensitivity. With four focus modes that are suitable for all conditions and intentions, you can focus accurately with targeted framing through single AF, continuous AF, manual focus and one-push AF (for manual focus).
- Scene Position and Mode Dial
- Simply choose the shooting mode that matches the scene, and every setting from shutter speed to white balance is optimized to capture an exceptional image. Mode Dial functions are: EXR, Auto, Natural Light, Scene Position, Movie, Manual, Program. Scene Positions are: Pro Focus, Pro Low-Light, Portrait, Portrait Enhancer, Landscape, Sport, Night, Night (Tripod), Fireworks, Sunset, Snow, Beach, Party, Flower, and Text.
- Film Simulation Mode
- Simulate the distinctive look of 5 different types of film with just a touch of a button. Modeled on Fujifilm brands loved by professional photographers, each breathes life into your image with a quality that previously only film could capture.
- Wide Dynamic Range
- Just as your eye sees the full range of shadows to highlights in high-contrast scenes, D-range Priority simultaneously captures two images to produce a single image with Wide Dynamic Range up to 800%, revealing subtleties in shadow and eliminating washout of the bright areas.
- High Sensitivity & Low Noise
- Just as your eye strives to make dark scenes as bright and detailed as possible, High ISO & Low Noise Priority takes advantage of high sensitivity and FinePix technology to capture the subject with exceptional brightness and minimal noise.
- 14.3x Optical Zoom Lens
- Specifically designed to deliver maximum image quality to the Super CCD EXR sensor; the 14.3x zoom lens offers a massive range from 30.5mm wide angle to 436mm telephoto (35mm camera equivalents).
- Lens-Shift Image Stabilization
- To minimize the effect of camera shake, especially at longer focal lengths, a lens-shift image stabilization system is incorporated. The sensor automatically detects small movements of the camera and then corrects them by shifting the lens group in the optical path. This system allows vibration-free handheld shooting at slower shutter speeds than normally possible.
- Super Macro
- The S200EXR has a super macro which sets an accurate focus moving in as close as about 0.4" (1cm) to enable impressive full-frame close-ups. Great for creative capture of nature, jewelry, artwork and more.
- High-Speed Continuous Shooting
- The FinePix S200EXR can shoot continuously at full 12 megapixel resolution up to 6 frames maximum in JPEG format or 3 frames maximum in CCD-RAW (EXR). It can also shoot at 3 megapixel resolution for 5 frames per second for up to 24 frames. Furthermore, during playback, you can scan through up to 10 images per second.
- Multi Frame Composition
- With the new Multi Frame feature, just press the shutter once and the camera automatically takes a rapid series of exposures, analyzes them, and then aligns them to produce a single frame. 2
- Movie Mode
- The FinePix S200EXR can record movies in 640 x 480 at 30 frames per second. The optical zoom can be used during movie recording.
- Noise Reduction Control
- The S200EXR has three levels of noise reduction to choose from. Normal, for standard noise reduction, Hard, for maximum suppression of noise, and Soft, when resolution is a priority.
- Super Intelligent Flash
- The Super Intelligent Flash lets you take macro shots with the ideal balance of flash output and sensitivity. Integrated in the Auto mode, this flash system captures both the subject and background in bright, clear details over the full flash range including ultra close-ups.
- 2.7" LCD
- The 2.7-inch, 230,000-dot LCD monitor assures a sharp, brilliant view. The wide viewing angle of up to 160°, both vertically and horizontally, keeps the image visible when holding the camera at various angles, and is equally convenient for playing back images and viewing menus.
- Electronic Viewfinder
- The electronic viewfinder is an LCD system that shows responsiveness and color accuracy, thanks to a field sequential motion system, allowing it to be used to check color balance and focus. The 0.2-inch, approximately 200,000-dot back-panel LCD monitor offers a finer, less-pixilated image.
- CCD-Raw (EXR) and JPEG Formats
- For professional image quality, the CCD-RAW (EXR) capture mode produces files that can be developed and post-processed on your PC. The S200EXR can also simultaneously record CCD-RAW (EXR) and JPEG files. 3
- Dust-Free Lens and Body
- Lens and body are structurally integrated, preventing the entry of dust and debris. That means the sensor and other internal components remain clean and maintenance-free.
- Micro Thumbnail View
- Navigate, view and select from up to 100 photos, displayed in a 10 x 10 array.
- Extended Battery Life
- The FinePix S200EXR provides 370 shots per charge of the included NP-140 Lithium Ion battery, so there is no need to worry about power running out half way through a photo shoot.

Comments about Fujifilm S200EXR FinePix Super Zoom Digital Camera:
This is the first Fuji digital camera I have purchased. I have always purchased Olympus products all the way back to 35mm film. I purchased this Fuji product over the Olympus this time, based on the availability of an electronic viewfinder. My old Olympus digital camera included one, and I'm so used to using it, the new camera had to include one. The newer Olympus point and shoot digital cameras of this price and style no longer include an electronic viewfinder, which I feel is a major mistake on their part. I'm rather old fashioned when it comes to taking photographs; I occasionally will use the LCD screen on back, if a particular shot demands it, such as shooting over the heads of other people into a scene I want to capture. Otherwise, I rarely use the LCD, except for looking at results. I recently completed a cruise to Bermuda, and this was the first test of the Fuji digital camera. The camera exceeded my expectations every time. The lithium ion battery lasted almost the whole week on one charge. I carried the recharger, however, did not need a recharge until late Thursday of the same week. The photographs the camera produced were excellent with real color saturation, extra sharp, and crisp images. The 12 megapixels produced outstanding 8 x 12 images that I had reproduced at a local drug store chain. I have no complaints about this camera. The glass is excellent with no distortion present in the photographs I had printed. The camera handles well, and feels good in the hands with very good balance, even with the lens fully extended. I would highly recommend this camera to my friends and family.

Comments about Fujifilm S200EXR FinePix Super Zoom Digital Camera:
I use the s200exr to photograph nature, wildlife and landscapes. The combination of the dual macro and the 14x zoom give this camera great range. There are several program modes including the EXR mode which then has other program modes within them. In addition there are several manual modes including full manual. The camera has the ability to record in raw or jpeg and it has image stabilation The s200exr offers something for every level of photographer from the rookie to the pro.
In addition the camera shoots video but, it is not 1080 HD. The camera also lacks a tiltable liveview lcd screen. The camera could use a little more zoom, something in the 18x-20x range.
I spent several months researching advanced compacts and entry level dslr's before I choose the s200exr.

Comments about Fujifilm S200EXR FinePix Super Zoom Digital Camera:
I absolutely love the functionality of this camera. Everything that everyone else has said is true and was the main reason for me going with the fujifilm. the picture quality is amazing and the camera in general is really easy to use. not only does it have automatic settings, it is versatile enough that you can set it to fully manual and adjust all the settings yourself. The zoom capacity is one of my favorite things about it- you won't believe how much you can zoom. the battery life is also awesome. i shot a baby shower in day and night, kept the camera on most of the time, and took over 1000 pictures before my battery meter started blinking at me. this is a GREAT buy for the money!

Great camera!
After reading and reading a lot about others reviews, the S200EXR it's all that I expected and more.
I recommended this camera to everyone that don't feel ready yet (chicken!) to go for a real DSLR and also don´t feel satisfy with those regular P&S cameras.

I mainly use this camera for everyday shooting. Macro, landscape, nature. Very intuitive and easy to use. Menu system is extremely self-explanatory. I love that you can so easily switch from various AUTO modes and then turn the camera into a fully manual DSLR... without the high price tag.
Highly recommended.

Comments about Fujifilm S200EXR FinePix Super Zoom Digital Camera:
I purchased this camera after i had looked up and reviewed all the different fuji cameras. I like to completely look and review every camera that i am considering and this one had everything i was wanting and more. I received it in the mail about 10 - 14 days ago and i have yet to figure out all the features. It does so many different things. I think i am really going to like it when i sit down and read the entire manual that i printed off. This is the first camera that i have ever had that wasn't a simple point and shoot. The only thing i didn't like about it was that it didn't come with a manual. I had to go online & look it up from the fuji website & download it. Other than that it is going to be awesome. It is nice that you don't have to change out different lens.

Go to a camera shop, see if they have one you can take a few shots with, like I said let the camera do the talking. You will be impressed and buy it !! People can give an opinion, the camera will show you the TRUTH!! The S200EXR is SMOKING HOT !! Thanks B&H Photo.

I bought this camera to replace my previous 3 Fuji cameras. I've been slowly upgrading, and shooting more and more in Aperture Priority and Manual. This camera is the perfect bridge for me. Not a dSLR, but more than most point and shoot cameras. I take mostly portraits, and it is so amazing. I love the Pro features.

Comments about Fujifilm S200EXR FinePix Super Zoom Digital Camera:
I gave it 5 stars based on the genre, the quality of its lens, and the absolutely superb image quality that comes from this camera.
I'm an advanced photographer and camera collector. I've always enjoyed Fuji cameras, but this S200EXR even has me excited. I still own the previous version - which is the S100fs (and I thought that was a wonderful camera), but this new S200EXR is, in my opinion, a few clicks better in all areas.
Of particular interest to me is the clarity and quality of this lens. I've seen quite a few "other" brand superzoom cameras - but their lenses left much to be desired. After all, when you attempt to cover this much zoom reach, there is often a tradeoff...and that is in the area of definition and clarity. Not so with the S200exr as it excels.
Yes, the camera is the size of a small DSLR - you can't get around that - but the handling is superb. The RAW image files coming from this baby will net you quite a bit of dynamic range and rich, color results. I'm quite impressed and this camera will wind up "staying" in my collection.
If you haven't already done so, I'd strongly suggest getting one before they go out of circulation.

Comments about Fujifilm S200EXR FinePix Super Zoom Digital Camera:
I use it for all types of photographic situations without concern for it's limitations. It has performed superbly.
Wonderful DSLR-like versatility; balanced and fits well in the hands with minimal heaviness.
My only complaint so far is no rubber eye cup attachment for viewing from the EVF mode.
Overall, I can finally retire my 1978 Canon AE-1 with a smile on my face and a mind at ease!

Comments about Fujifilm S200EXR FinePix Super Zoom Digital Camera:
This must be one of the easiest cameras to use but yet that also contains very professional features. Set it on EXR and forget about anything else. I have taken more than 4000 pictures, indoors, outdoors, during the day, during the night and never used the flash yet. 2.8 F lens. Macro pics are awesome. Anti Vibrate or something that makes picture on the move still crystal clear. Massive zoom. If you want a very good camera but are confused with all the choices and what goes with what or just a normal user but you think it would be nice to be spoilt with many functions but yet easy to use then this camera is it. And the EXR does everything. But it has all kinds of manual settings if you think you can do better or want more toys to play with.My friend bought one first and I followed. And don't think we didn't look at some other brands that I actually thought would be better. This blows them out of the water for value for money and features.

Comments about Fujifilm S200EXR FinePix Super Zoom Digital Camera:
Have used for a few weeks. The EXR feature really works and creates great opportunities to image in low light with less noise. Terrific lens. Even though it is not an SLR, it feels and operates like one in many respects----although it is a little too gadgety, it still has traditional controls. Particularly also like the film simulation modes, and bracketing.
Highly recommended.

Comments about Fujifilm S200EXR FinePix Super Zoom Digital Camera:
What I love about this camera is that it is very versatile. The EXR feature on the camera is very useful for first time users and very handy when you don't have time to play around with the shutter and aperture setting. Though for advanced users, this camera allows you to use the aperture and shutter settings allowing you to maximize the type of shots you want to take. Very reliable camera and awesome because you don't have to bring a heavy bag with 3 different kinds of lenses as you would with a dslr. This advanced point and shoot is the same level with dslr of other brands as long as you known how to operate it. Basically, this camera is handy if you travel a lot and if you dont to carry many camera equipments.
