Product Description
From the Manufacturer
From the Manufacturer
Fujifilm's FinePix F200EXR digital camera introduces the world to Super CCD EXR technology. Combining the 12-megapixel, Super CCD EXR with a powerful Fujinon 5.0x wide angle optical zoom lens and a large 3.0-inch high-resolution LCD, the FinePix F200EXR is Fujifilm's most advanced compact digital camera yet.
As with previous award-winning F-series models such as the FinePix F10, F31fd, F50fd and F100fd, the F200EXR is a powerful, feature-packed compact digital camera ideal for those looking for the most sophisticated in feature-rich point and shoots.
28mm wide-angle lens
The FinePix F200EXR offers 3 selectable modes in one sensor:
- Fine Capture Mode (High Resolution), which deploys all twelve million pixels, and is designed to offer the finest detail of intricate subjects when light is full and even;
- Pixel Fusion Mode (High Sensitivity and Low Noise), which caps two adjacent pixels together to produce six million large photodiodes, which are big enough to absorb light in the darkest of conditions, to produce low-light shots of extraordinary quality with minimal noise and grain; and
- Dual Capture (Wide Dynamic Range), which captures different exposures with two sets of six million pixels, which, when combined, gives an excellent level of detail in highlights and low lights that would otherwise be lost. In addition to the new Super CCD EXR sensor, the F200EXR offers the most advanced technologies available, including Dynamic Range Bracketing, Dual Image Stabilization, Face Detection 3.0, and ISO settings of up to an unprecedented ISO 12800, allowing you to capture any shot, any place and at any time with the lowest noise signature to date.
With EXR AUTO, the F200EXR recognizes the subject and scene, and automatically decides the optimum EXR shooting mode. With three options of Fine Capture Technology with High Resolution, Pixel Fusion Technology for High Sensitivity and Low Noise, and Dual Capture Technology for Wide Dynamic Range--that users can also select manually--the camera combines the best of EXR selectable sensor modes with SR Auto Automatic Scene Recognition.
New to the F200EXR are an extra-large 3.0-inch LCD (the better to see all your great photos), HD Photo to capture still photos at 1920 x 1080, HD output (to view high image quality on your HDTV) and new film simulation modes (based on Fujifilm’s legendary Velvia, Provia and Soft lines), including Sepia and Black and White modes.
The F200EXR also delivers wider Dynamic Range... by up to 800 percent. Dynamic Range, or the gradations of light that exist between bright and dark in any setting, can be easily detected by the human eye, but not by most cameras. Through a combination of advances in Fujifilm's new Super CCD EXR and Real Photo Processor, this wide dynamic range dramatically broadens tonal capability and guarantees exceptional rendition of photos with both bright highlights and dark shadows. This expansion of sensitivity captures greater detail, and subtle nuances of brightness and tonality that bring the photo closer to what the human eye actually sees.
FinePix F200EXR Highlights
Extreme Sensor Super CCD EXR Debut
The new Super CCD EXR in the revolutionary FinePix F200EXR introduces a totally new concept in capturing image quality. Just as your eye seamlessly adapts to any situation, shots in every scene are captured more beautiful than you imagined.
Even Closer to the Human Eye - 3-way Capture Technology The new 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.
EXR AUTO: Extreme Point-and-Shoot The EXR AUTO 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.
EXR AUTO in Macro Mode (3-way Capture Technology) As soon as you frame the close-up shot, EXR AUTO not only selects Macro mode, but switches the sensor to the appropriate high resolution capturing modes in full 12-megapixels.
EXR AUTO: Just "As Your Eye Sees It" With the sensor and every settings automatically optimized for the scene, the image can be captured just as your eyes see them.
EXR Priority: Extreme Creativity With EXR Priority, you can manually switch the sensor to one of three capture modes. Just like your eye prioritizes different functions for optimal viewing of different scenes, each EXR mode uses a different approach to change how the sensor captures the image.- High resolution Just as your eye sees the finest detail in bright conditions, "Resolution Priority" uses the full 12 megapixel resolution of the unique EXR array to reproduce the smallest detail in bright beautiful color.
- 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 percent, revealing subtleties in shadow and eliminating washout of the bright areas.
- High sensitivity and 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's original pixel binning technology to capture the subject with exceptional brightness and minimal noise. Priority Shooting Mode For more hands on control, you can choose Aperture Priority to manually select aperture and control depth of field.
Unique Shooting Modes Capture Best of All

Fujifilm Finepix F200 EXR: Highly recommended by dpreview.comFujifilm won a great many fans with its F30 and F31fd models, which combined slightly larger than average sensors containing fewer pixels than their competitors with some clever image processing, to produce some of the best high ISO images we'd ever seen from a compact camera. In fact, three years later, there are very few compacts we can think of that do a better job once the sun goes down. While playing lip-service to the needs of low-light photography (and continuing to produce cameras whose processing give them a slight edge over their contemporaries), Fujifilm didn't appear to make further progress in the direction the F30 had pioneered. With the F200 EXR, Fujifilm seems to suggest that it wants to regain its low-light crown, based on a novel sensor technology it has developed.

Now for starter, imo the TZ4 is so so (again, I'm no expert), and I find even an older Canon SD compact digicam that I used to have sometimes took better & sharper pictures. I tried using the F200EXR on auto mode, since that is the mode that most lay people would use. I'm taking indoor pictures, together with the TZ4. The TZ4 auto mode took the picture with flash and ISO 125. Not bad. The F200EXR took the picture with flash at ISO 800. WTF? The resulting image, obviously, is to the advantage of the TZ4 having cleaner and sharper picture due to lower ISO, while the F200EXR's image is extremely noisy in comparison.
Next test, I set both cameras to ISO100, and took the same pictures again. Now the F200EXR shows the better image, with cleaner and less noise compared to the TZ4.
So, why does Fuji set the auto mode to be so lousy? I mean c'mon, ISO800 with flash, while the competitor used ISO125? With the dizzying array of shooting modes, most lay people would simply want to use Auto mode. Even worse, on some settings, the lowest I can set the Auto ISO is ISO 400, and guess what, the camera seems to use ISO 400 all the time. I had to actually lower the ISO manually to get ISO100/200. Forget about setting it to Auto ISO1600 unless you only want to see noisy/grainy pictures.
More annoyance is the yet another proprietary USB cable. Even worse, Fuji's USB cable is built into the AV cable, so it's much bulkier than a regular USB cable. Another is that the F200EXR's IS doesn't seem to work as well as the TZ4. My hand is not the steadiest, but some of the pictures taken with the F200EXR were obviously blurry, while the TZ4 pictures were not.
There's a ton of settings in this camera. Tons of shooting mode combination. I have not tried all of them. I think I have to really review the manual to take advantage of this camera, and obviously not to use the Auto mode. For those that don't want to be bothered with other modes other than Auto, prepare to be disappointed.
Update:
I took the F200EXR for a quick test drive outdoors.
Likes:
-The compact design. Note that I have the TZ4, which is quite bulky inside a pocket.
-The EXR Auto mode fares okay. Note that this is outdoors, thus less likely for the Auto mode to pick higher ISOs.
-Some pictures turn out pretty good.
Annoyance:
-The IS is not that great.
-On Auto mode, if your hand is not the steadiest, even on bright outdoors, the Auto ISO can shoot up to ISO 400 or higher. I guess that's the trade-off (considering the weak IS).
-It's still a compact P&S. Don't just expect noise free/DSLR-like pictures from the EXR sensor.
-Some weird artifacts on reflective surface of water. Not really noticeable unless you zoom in on the picture though.
* I like the picture quality. Not the greatest, in fact I think since my first Fuji experience this aspect of the products has deteriorated. But, it's better than many less expensive cameras.
Now to the not so great:
* The battery life is abysmal. I needed to take up to 3 sets of batteries per day. Make sure you have a charger and time to recharge your batteries!
* Quibbles on picture quality: I was never able to get it to focus predictably - which was OK, since I just needed to take many pictures of the same scene and throw out the unfocused ones.
* I bought this for a trip to Europe. It lasted 2 weeks, then started to malfunction: It would go into USB mode unpredictably after being turned on. Within a couple days it was unusable.
* I sent it to the Fuji service center in New Jersey. They said it has a vertical line in the LCD - something that I certainly don't recall and think I would have noticed. But the kicker was they said it had water damage and was beyond repair. This is odd, since I never had it near any water. They wanted half the price of what I paid for it, in order to exchange it. Unacceptable: I used this thing for 2 weeks, and not roughly at all - I took good care of it. And it's broken, period. In addition, I had requested another service in the cover letter I sent, which was completely ignored. It's almost as if they threw out the letter, ascribed random and spurious reasons for not honoring the one-year warranty, and left it at that.
I will not buy a Fujifilm product again. To be clear: I'm calling the Fuji one year warranty nearly worthless, and those who handle the service process dishonest and nonresponsive at best, and cheaters and liars at worst.
PLEASE consider the poor durability of Fuji cameras, as well as non-stellar quality, before paying a high price for one. I have had three previous (and escalating) bad experiences with Fuji cameras. Previously I came back because of good picture quality, but in this last experience that, too, was not great. In my opinion Fuji doesn't value quality - they'd rather just sell as much shoddy product as possible.
Bottom line: Unacceptably bad durability, useless service and warranty, overpriced. Go with the top-notch brands.
