Product Description
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 larger 3.0-inch high-resolution LCD, the FinePix F200EXR is Fujifilm's most advanced compact digital camera yet. 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.

The camera comes with a basic manual. The actual manual is on a disk which can be difficult if you are not a computer user or if you are traveling and have a question.

 Beware of Simply Electronics February 14, 2010

I ordered the Fujifilm 200 EXR from Amazon. They arranged for Simply Electronics to ship it. It came with a 220 volt plug (I live in the USA, 1210 country). There is no return address on the invoice, not even the item ordered or the price paid. This seems to be a gray market outfit. Beware!
 LOTS OF HYPE BUT DOES NOT DELIVER January 29, 2010

This camera is no match for my f31fd camera which thankfully I still own and takes great pictures. I've found that the image stabilization on the f200exr is marginally effective. Anything above ISO 400 produces very visible grain.
You have to work to get good images out of this camera. Flash is very weak. Every image has to be post processed except images taken in ideal lighting conditions. There is just so much you can do with JPEG files.
The dynamic range works well outdoors in good lighting provided you don't require any detail in your landscape shots.
Useless as a 12 megapixel digicam. Not good for landscapes ... very heavy sledge hammer noise reduction going on at ISO 100 in HR Mode even in great lighting. Even DPREVIEW notes this. You will not see any detail in foliage at all ... completely smeared. Results not good at all for high resolution.
People are awestruck by the inproved dynamic range.
I just use a bit of negative exposure compensation on my f31fd and bring up the shadows a bit and it sure beats the noise on this over-hyped expensive f200exr.
For the price I DO NOT RECOMMEND GETTING THIS CAMERA. Spend a bit of extra money and get the Canon G11. At the very least you will not get sledge hammer noise reduction going on and highly usable detailed landscape images. Additionally the optical image stabilization on the Canon REALLY WORKS WELL! Good for about 4 stops ... better than boosting ISO ad nauseum. And it comes with a hot shoe .... For great indoor pictures get a used f30 or f31fd camera if you can still find them.
Finally, a fast pocket digital that takes great pictures January 25, 2010

The FinePix 200 is the 4th pocket digital I've owned. This is the first one that rivals the "shootability" of my big Nikon SLR. The first big issue is speed. This camera starts up and is ready to shoot in a second - literally. It is also the first and only pocket camera I've used that lacks that annoying half-second delay between the time you press the shutter and it actually takes the picture. For me, this is crucial for capturing that "special moment" when taking snaps of family, friends and pets.
Next issue is picture quality. This camera takes incredibly sharp pictures. My wife and I were shocked to find that this camera takes sharper pictures than our Nikon D200 when handheld. This is no doubt due to the image stabilization technology built into the Fuji camera (I haven't yet coughed up the big bucks for stabilized Nikor lenses).
Another huge factor is the excellent software built into this camera. With every previous camera I've owned, including my big Nikon, I'm always "gaming" the automatic program defaults in order to get the colors or the contrast right on the shot. With the FinePix, there's none of that. I set this camera to the full auto "EXR" mode and leave it there. So far, I have rarely disagreed with the settings chosen by the camera.
A final word about EXR mode. I like to shoot pictures of my friends at parties. With other cameras, this means either using the flash (boo!) or cranking the ISO up to the max and getting grainy photos. This camera has the unique ability to "gang together" light from 2 sensor elements into a single pixel on the final picture, enabling you to shoot with a lower ISO. In this mode the camera has incredible low-light performance. At the cost of shooting at 6Mpixels instead of 12 (fine, unless you want to enlarge past 6x8") you can shoot without a flash in most situations.
Physically, this camera isn't the sexiest, but it fits well in the hand and the controls all make sense.
Battery life is so-so, especially if you use it in "fast-focus" mode. I'd recommend buying a second battery if you travel or go on extended photo shoots.
