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.

 Cheaply made camera, too many problems August 8, 2010

I've had this camera for a year and am really unhappy with it. About a month after having it, the zoom started to malfunction and would only zoom all the way out or all the way in. Then the lens cap wouldn't close all the way; I sent it back under warranty and they only fixed the lens cap issue because they said they found some kind of sticky substance around the zoom and I was negligent. Then a month ago on a trip the camera was dropped from a height of about 6inches. It broke the camera for good, and now the zoom is stuck out and won't take pictures. Granted, the camera was dropped, but I had an Olympus for about 6 years, treated it worse than the Fuji, and it held out much better. I ended up giving that camera away to someone; wish I kept it afterall. I will never buy Fuji again; this camera just didn't hold up to a little bit of rough treatment, and for the $315 I paid at the time, you would expect a more solid made body. I bought this camera because of its video and image quality in low light, and I was disappointed anyway. Low light photos were mediocre, and the video image quality was decent, but the audio was so low you could barely hear what was being recorded.
Nice camera July 11, 2010

I enjoyed using this camera. It is light and compact and very easy to use. I am a "point and shot" photograper so I wasn't able to use the camera's manual features, but I was able to use the automatice features that are pretty standard with digital cameras - portrait, landscape macros, etc.
The camera does seem expensive for a point and click camera though.
 Excellent camera July 9, 2010
Madmoiselle Nitouche (houston, tx)
Bought it in summer of 2010 - so "late" ... not exactly a new model.
Yet it is EXCELLENT - here's my take:
1. EXR mode is great - for 90% of pictures it will do much better than you can. It will auto select (if left in "Exr-auto") SN/HR/DR and focus type etc.. it is VERY VERY good and easy to use.
2. Low-noise HIGH ISO - for "low light" (meaning indoor pictures and especially evening incandescent light (meaning indoors light bulb) it is 2 f/stops better than competitive (2010 !) model cameras from panasonic and/or canon. Really decent detail at 800 iso and REASONABLE (in reasonable light) for 1600. Works for me -- it is roughly 1-1.5 f/stops "worse" (but not 2 f/stops - cause the pics I get at 800iso on the Fuji are a bit better than 3200iso on the Nikon) than my Nikon D90 but that's a mid-level dSLR so it isn't "fair" to compare it.
I compared it to my pany lx3 (a great little camera and much faster lens) but, the noise from the Pany was one full f/stop worse than on my Fuji. (but makes up in other ways for it). And the Fuji doesn't fudge out all details with heavy noise reduction - so you can actually clean it up to make your pictures look pretty good.
3. Sharp pictures (much sharper than canon) and good colors (a bit contrasty for my taste but good).
4. Quick - compared to my Canon powershots (have several models) shot to shot times are much better. Focus is faster too.
5. Good range - 28mm (I'd love 24mm but..) - 140mm --- it works for me - don't know why folks are crazy about 10-20x zoom - if you can't see it you don't need to photograph it.
6. Movies - eh -- not so great - my canon powershots take better movies - higher resolution and better colors and better sound.
I don't like the "on/off" button - set-in and not intuitable, but, it's a small gripe. Manual mode is limited on aperture ... but, not a big gripe either - for me it is ok.
And I am not crazy about the battery life - kinda short 200 odd shots before it went red - a bit of a bummer, this is my BIGGEST complaint.
But, in EXR mode it even makes my wife a good photographer... buy it if you can still find it. I paid about 200$ and worth the money !!
A great subcompact June 26, 2010

I did a lot of research before buying this camera. I was looking for a subcompact that could take decent low light pictures, period. That was my biggest complaint for subcompacts. I have not used it extensively and will probably update my review after my first vacation but I did some testing taking pictures next to a camp fire at night. The results were outstanding. Both myself and my friends were amazed. I even took a picture when the first went out and the only light was my friends cigar and even that was not bad. As for other general observations: the viewer screen is excellent, I used it with the sun shining directly on it and could still see the image. I have not seen the benefit of the EXR feature but again, I have not used the camera extensively. So far I have to say this is a great subcompact and the reviews I read were spot on (Cnet, Consumer Reports). The user guide is very good and I did not need a lot of time to understand the cameras menus, functions and how it works. The only negative things I can say is that I did not like the little push button to turn on the camera, a little too easy to press inadvertently for me and I do not like the lack of a view finder, but I realize they are being phased out in compact cameras. I don't know if this is appropriate for a review but I have to recommend the case at the link below for this camera, if you are looking for a good compact case.

BEST camera under $475 June 9, 2010
A. Gift For You (Boise, ID)

Over the past four years I have purchased 18 ($250-450) compact cameras, in search of one that can take sharp pics in all lighting conditions. Half of these cameras were CANON. My issue with Canon is - they over-expose the shot, preventing me from capturing the MOOD of the shot. AND Canon is not as quick as this FUJI F200. (FYI- I have owned/used their SX210, SX200, SX110, A610, S60 ...)
My CASIO cameras had superb color saturation, contrast & sharpness "outdoors", because they generally under-expose the shot just a bit; AND they shoot fast! BUT not so good in low-light situations, like most cameras. Later, I purchased the Casio FH20 when it came out, BUT no matter what I tried, images were a little washed out and soft for "my" taste.
After reading great pro-reviews on Panasonic TZ5 and FZ18 and FZ28, I was convinced Panasonic had what I was looking for. BUT after only four dozen shots, I was disappointed right away with soft edges & smeared detail in pics, AND Auto White-Balance had too much Blue in outdoor shots.
My Olympus SP565 was pretty nice, and did fair job, but "I" didn't like their Menu layout and missed buttons that gave me direct access to features I use all the time.
WHAT pushed me to give up this SP565 was when I checked out the FUJI F200 at local retail store.
This FUJI F200 was unbelievable! Very Fast, Great color and detail, and unreal depth-of-field. In mid-day bright sunlight, faces were not burned out, and when shooting 5-dozen pics at a class reunion outdoors - every shot FROZE the action. ie- people walking, waving their arms, etc.. With over 90 people at the reunion, it was great to be able to capture people fairly close, as well as far away. One of my shots captured a camera bag only 4-feet away on a picnic table AS WELL AS people in front of a pickup truck 60 feet away. I have NEVER seen such clarity, great color, depth of field and NO burned out faces before! AND this FUJI F200 shots fast. AND finally a camera that can take ridiculous low-light pics. I love its natural-light and natural-light w/ flash feature. In tough lighting conditions - its EXR modes can do it all.
to be fair - this FUJI F200 is limited to a 28-140mm lens and battery life is 250-300 per charge. AND video is limited to the typical 640x480. Recently FUJI released its HS10 EXR camera with tons of enhanced features, including a 24-720mm lens and HD 1080p video w/ stereo audio. Its manual zoom around the lens is nice too. This HS10 is the Fuji F200EXR on steroids..
To date, I have taken 2500 shots with my FUJI F200, and still love it over ALL other compacts I have owned or tried. Over past four years I have taken 9500 shots with my cameras. When I can afford it, I will (add) this FUJI HS10, so I have more zoom and abilty to take HD movies.
