Fuji fans across the world may have been anticipating a design to close the zoom gap between the 18x of Fuji's top offerings and the 24 and 26x competition when Fujifilm announced the Finepix S200EXR ultrazoom in late July 2009. The wait will continue - the S200 is the anointed successor to Fuji's S100fs - but while the S200 has a lens with the identical 14.3x zoom multiplication of the older camera, its 30.5 to 436mm (35mm equivalent) manual zoom lens is a bit longer.

Design and Build

It looks like slightly downsized DSLRs as far as the ultrazooms is concerned but its overall dimensions of 5.3 x 3.7 x 5.7 inches are in fact similar to the Nikon D3000 (18 - 55 mm kit lens: 5 x 3.8 x 5.6 inches). The Fujifilm S200 outweighs the Nikon roughly by 5 ounces, which mainly comes from the extra 353 mm of its focal length than that kit lens. The overall build looks robust and solid.

Display/Viewfinder

The 2.7-inch LCD monitor consists of 230k dot composition and effortlessly adjustable to the 11 - brightness level. It is great for outdoors but can be overwhelmed by the right combination of bright outdoor light. Its electronic viewfinder (the 0.2 inch) is of about 200k dot composition and offers 11 - brightness level adjustments of the monitor and 100% coverage.

Modes and Menus

The Fujifilm S200 has abundance of menus and submenus but they are all highly intuitive. The menu process selected via the mode dial is the same for every shooting mode. Automatic shooting modes in specific scenes have less user inputs that can be choose from, but those may vary from mode to mode too. It is time consuming when it comes to changing the default settings, depending on the actual changes involved and number of modes but the Fujifilm S200 offers users great flexibility on tailoring images to their liking.

Controls and Ergonomics

The Fujifilm S200 has a perfect hand-grip-body shape with rubberized material nicely wrapping around the front of the grip. Sufficient clearance for the movement of fingers from the lens barrel allows the shooting finger falls naturally upon the shutter button. Even though buttons, dials and switches appear almost every where on the body, Fuji manages to strategically install them in effective way to minimize unintentional activation of those switches and buttons which in turn giving the Fujifilm S200 a nice overall feel.

  1. I have ordered the Fujifilm S200. Reason for choice over the FZ38, better IQ and I kinda see the extra weight as a positive.
