This Fujifilm FinePix S3200 14MP Digital Camera (Black) offers a lot for a photographer looking to upgrade to a more advanced camera: 14MP resolution, an astonishing, high-quality wide-angle 24x optical zoom lens (24-576mm equivalent), an electronic viewfinder and advanced features commonly found in sophisticated DSLR cameras.
Beginning with a crystal-clear, 3" LCD monitor with 230K-dot resolution, the S3200 has high sensitivity up to ISO 6400 that allows you to take pictures at dusk and other low-light situations, and CCD shift image stabilization prevents camera shake from ruining a good shot. Automatic scene recognition will know when you're shooting a portrait, a landscape, a night portrait, a macro shot, etc. and make the right adjustments to give you the picture you want. The macro function allows you to photograph a subject as close as 0.78' (2 cm) from the lens. Tracking auto focus keeps a moving object in focus, and the face/smile/blink detection mode optimizes pictures of people, catching the smile and missing the blink.
And on top of all these techno-goodies, you get HD video with 720p resolution for those times when only a movie will do.
- 14 Megapixels
- An impressive 14 megapixels resolution won't miss the finest details of your subject. Images are captured sharp and clear, in vivid colors, even when printed at large sizes.
- 24x Zoom W/Wide-Angle 24-576mm Lens
- Fujinon Lens, the high precision optic lens from Fujifilm is used in various industries - satellite in outer space, TV/film, surveillance, and compact cameras. The technology provides a great wide angle (1x) and telephoto optical zoom.
- Electronic Viewfinder (EVF)
- With the EVF/LCD button, the electronic viewfinder (EVF) and the LCD can be switched. When looking into the EVF, you can shoot photos with your arms positioned steadily, reducing blurring of images.
- High Sensitivity ISO 6400
- With maximum sensitivity of ISO 6400, photos appear natural and more true to life even with limited available light. High sensitivity also stops the action of high-speed moving subjects (at ISO 3200 & 6400, the number of recorded pixels is limited to a maximum of 3MP and at full resolution (16MP), sensitivity is limited to a maximum ISO 1600).
- Dual Image Stabilization
- Dual Image Stabilization is the combination of high sensitivity and CCD shift image stabilization that works to eliminate blurred photos by freezing action and minimizing blurs at maximum zoom range.
- HDTV-Compatible Photos & Video
- Able to capture both photos and movies in high-definition 16:9 format, this camera lets you discover the impact of full-screen HDTV image display. Capture high resolution still images in 16:9 format (4,288 x 2,416 pixels, 3,072 x 1,728 pixels, 1,920 x 1,080 pixels) and also high resolution video images in 16:9 format (1,280 x 720 pixels).
- 6 Scene SR AUTO
- Framed scenes are automatically detected and selected into appropriate camera settings: Portrait, Landscape, Night, Macro, Night Portrait, and Backlit Portrait.
- Face Detection
- Face Detection optimizes people pictures by detecting faces and adjusting focus and exposure to ensure bright, clear results. The Face Detection can simultaneously recognizes up to 10 faces in a photo. Share your group portraits using the Zoom Up function in playbacks, checking each detected face. Each priceless expression can be cropped and saved in clear high resolution results. Red-eye removal automatically detects and corrects flash reflection for a perfect end result.
- Blink Detection
- The camera will warn you when people in the frame are blinking, giving you the option to retake the photo, or enlarge the face so you can save or delete the image before you take the next shot.
- Smile & Shoot Mode
- The Smile & Shoot mode of Scene Position, automatically releases the shutter when the smile appears so you won't miss the adorable smile the moment they happen.
- Motion Panorama
- Lets you take panorama photos as simply as 1, 2, 3! The camera automatically stitches together three consecutive shots, with simple in-frame guidance to ensure the images are aligned. The resulting image is saved to the memory card as an impressive panorama.
- 2cm Super Macro Shooting
- Sets an accurate focus moving in as close as approx. 2cm (0.8") from the lens, for impressive full-frame close-ups.
- Tracking Auto Focus
- Keeps fast moving subjects in the frame and in focus, even at 5x zoom extended. Great for capturing dynamic close-ups.
- Instant Zoom
- A function to follow moving subjects in standard wide view for easy framing at high zoom settings. With a single press of a button, the subject tracked within the selected frame on the LCD, will be captured and saved at a high zoom ratio (1.4x or 2.0x digital zoom).
- Zoom Bracketing Mode
- Enables three shots to be taken at the single press of the button, at varying degrees of magnification (original, 1.4x and 2.0x). This enables instant editing on the camera to choose the ideal shot, rather than having to go back to a PC to facilitate a digital crop.
- Versatile Shooting Modes
- In addition to a wide range of shooting modes, the camera offers a selection of versatile scene positions that ensure optimum results no matter what the scene--includes Portrait, Landscape, Night, Sunset, Party, Natural Light & With Flash, Baby Mode, Night (Tripod), Snow, Flower, Natural Light, Smile, Sport, Fireworks, Beach, and Text.

White Balance--optimizes the white balance according to the lighting conditions under various shooting modes: Auto, Custom, Preset (Fine, Shade, Fluorescent light (Daylight), Fluorescent light (Warm White), Fluorescent light (Cool White), Incandescent light, Underwater lighting).
Flash--flash settings are available for best results for various modes, such as Auto, Red-eye Reduction, Forced Flash, Suppressed Flash, Slow Synchro, and Red-eye Reduction & Slow Synchro.
AF/AE Lock--AF/AE function locks onto the subject while the shutter button is held down half way. Most effective when the subject is not in the center of the frame

This camera performs very well in daylight conditions. Lens is of surprisingly good quality for the price and range. Resolution is good and colors are fine although a bit too neutral for my taste. Focus speed is ok on the wide angle end but considerably slower in the tele end. At night the focus speed becomes bothersome on the wide end and borderline unusable on the tele end. Noise and resolution are better than most pocket point and shoot offerings in daylight, and about the same as a pocket cam in low light situations.
In essence this is pretty much a mid to high grade pocket cam with a better lens and a viewfinder for about the same price. Cannot compete with bridge cameras of about double it's price... obviously.

Comments about Fujifilm FinePix S3200 14MP Digital Camera (Black):
I liked my camera! It takes good pictures when you need just to point and shoot and also has the option to control settings, like speed, apperture...i just have to learn how to use and combine them better!
What I liked about the camera was the wide angle(i was able to fit so much more things in the photo than my old poit and shoot), the super zoom (it's really powerful), and the panorama mode, very funny!
The battery (NiMH) lasted like one day and a half of sigthseeing.
The EVF and the wide screen are also positive points.
The price is also another positive point.
What I didn't like was the result of photos indoors or at night, some with the flash were ok, some not.
And other negative point was the weigth, but it is compensated by the anatomy, although it's a little heavy it's comfortable to hold..and the cap to the battery slot is also a little dificult to open without clicking other buttons..
but in general, it was a nice choise, i'm very happy with my camera!

Comments about Fujifilm FinePix S3200 14MP Digital Camera (Black):
I had high expectations for this camera upon purchasing it as I tend to be alittle biased as Fuji was the brand of my very first digital camera. Im still working with all the features but I can say this from the 60 or so pix that Ive taken:
First off this camera peforms pretty badly in low light. forcing you to hold the shutter open for a really long time which is furstrating because for some reason, image stabilization on this camera is mysteriously bad. If you dont want to hold open the shutter, then youre forced to adjust the Iso. But any photographer knows that the higher you go in Iso sensitivity, the grainier and off-color the image will be. Also the aperture feature is extremely limited and doesnt help too much in low-light situations either..
Zoom, although very expansive -like *ALL* super-zoom; bridge; advanced point-n-shoot cameras- the closer you get on the subject the more the image suffers and less stable it becomes.
The overall image quality is great! 14 megapixels really creates a clear image and the color looks really good (especially the greens in my grass!) The HD still is a really nice touch as it bumps up the image quality that much more. Be prepared to do alittle adjusting as they start out pretty dark. So youre gonna have to do some tweaking but once you get your settings right, you will deff Not be disappointed.
The viewfinder is kinda touchy too. Its bad enought that were presented with a low quality version of whats on the LCD but for some reason, to add to its small size a border is visible around the frame making it difficult to compose. I wouldnt say the EVF is useless, just hard to use (but does work and helps conserve battery life).
Overall: this is a good not great camera, it does has its shortcomings. I recommend shooting on M (manual). I see far too often, people giving poor reviews on cameras that they havent even fully tested yet and then they send them back without using the camera to its full potential. I, myself have more work to do with this camera but I dont expect anything in this review to change.
I love the size, the ergonomics, image quality and some of its features. As a hardcore Fuji fan, Im still waiting to blown away....

Comments about Fujifilm FinePix S3200 14MP Digital Camera (Black):
Purchased the S3200 after reading a number of reviews, as i needed a small, light back up camera ( normally use a Nikon D7000 ).
It's a nice, light camera and reasonably easy to use, but the image quality is lower than i expected from a 14 MP camera.
It takes a reasonable shot in bright daylight, but the image quality is very poor in low light, flash or no flash, even after trying a number of different settings.
At Large and Fine, the jpegs are large, but they're not exactly what i would call "fine".
OK for casual snap shots, but that's about it.

Comments about Fujifilm FinePix S3200 14MP Digital Camera (Black):
A great camera for the price with so many features and options. Nice to have an 'auto' mode for general shots but also nice to have all the specialty modes for certain photos. One of the main selling points for me was having the viewfinder as well as the big display on the back; sometimes the light/glare is so bad you really can't see the display. The only thing I don't care for ( and it's not a big deal ) is that you have to open the battery compartment to get at the memory card.
