Fuji FinePix Digital Camera F200EXR
12 megapixel, 5x optical zoom, 3.0 "LCD

Fujifilm won a number of fans with their F30 and F31fd models, combining a little bigger than half pixel sensors, which contain less than its competitors with some clever image processing, to produce some of the best high ISO images I had ever seen from a compact camera. In fact, three years later, compact, very few people we can think to do a better job once the sun sets.

While playing lip service to the needs of low-light photography (and continues to produce cameras treatment which gives them a slight advantage over his contemporaries), Fujifilm does not seem to make further progress in the direction of the F30 had pioneered. With the Department of External Relations F200, Fujifilm seems to suggest he wants to regain his crown in low light, a technology based on the novel sensor has been developed (explained on page below). At a time when compact cameras are becoming increasingly commoditized, it's interesting to see a company trying to use something more than marketing to differentiate their products.

And even without the External Relations Department intelligence, the Department of External Relations F200 is a fairly well-specified camera. It has one of the main sensors used in any compact camera (which is a 1/1.6 "type, which means that it has an area of about 0.45cm2) combined with a lens that provides a very useful 28-140mm equivalent in 35mm film terms. To put this in perspective, most digital SLRs are supplied with lenses covering a range of 28-85mm. It is the fastest bright () lens in the world, but it is too slow compared to their peers.

The F200 offers image stabilization, which is one of the best features to ensure sharp images, along with ways to allow a reasonable amount of control on the camera and we take care of everything for you.
