The Fuji F200 EXR Is One Of InfoSyncWorld’s Four Best High Performance Compact Digital Cameras (2009) – Mike Perlman:
The Fujifilm Finepix F200 EXR was probably the ultimate surprise performance of the year, for this compact truly blew our initial expectations out of the water and far away. To lay it straight on the table, the Fujifilm Finepix F200 EXR is not pleasing to look at, courtesy of its muddy brownish paint job and hourglass sponge-like chassis. However, a quality imaging powerplant lies within this unassuming and plain design. The Fujifilm Finepix F200 EXR cranked out an image performance that was on par with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 and Canon PowerShot G10 in bright and low light, and we’re pretty sure its 12-megapixel 1/1.6-inch Super CCD EXR sensor had something to do with it.
We shot in various Dynamic Range boosting modes and achieved some excellent results. The Fujifilm Finepix might not be stocked with a plethora of standard features, for the camera has a max shutter speed of eight seconds. But what the camera lacks in tradition, it makes up for with innovation, thanks to the wealth of effective EXR shooting modes. Don’t expect good looks or a stellar interface from the Fujifilm Finepix F200 EXR, but if you’re looking for a compact with the best image quality in this price range, look no further.
