But good image quality defects in the operation

Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR Digital Camera (12MP, 5x opt. Zoom, 3 '' display, image stabilizer) (Electronics)

Customer Review

After TZ7 I have now even been buttoned the F200EXR as possible duration companion camera. On cameras is with me not a shortage, but I can not help it, to watch over and over again, where there are improvements, and whether it even is the Wunderknippse here.

Rarely have I felt so forth in a camera in the evaluation and torn as with the F200EXR. Despite good image quality important shortcomings in practicality, could be summed up.

The operating concept with the various automatic modes, the menu and the additional F-menu I find little thought, confusing and cumbersome. I do not want to explain in detail where it is everywhere in disarray because - it was just too complicated.

The autofocus of Fuji attacks very quickly and will usually even in low light something. A TZ7 is as pretty nightblind compared and often do not see their own auxiliary light. The zoom range is very quick drive through at the Fuji (almost too quick, as it often overshoots the target). Quick snapshot likely to have safer with the Fuji in a poke, as with the TZ7. Too bad, but I find that there is no manual selection of the focal point, as I know the most of Canon cameras.

The display is disappointing viewing angle dependent, not very bright and not very good resolution. The Brightness correction (the "leveling" in a new light situation) is also quite slow.

A real deficiency in the Fuji is the very faint image stabilizer, characterized one often has to resort to much higher ISO values ​​when photographing out of hand.

The exposure of the Fuji is high-contrast scenes like next to it, here you have to resort to exposure compensation, which is easily accessible to happiness.

The distortion in wide angle turns out starkly that interferes significantly with architectural photography. A TZ7 or SX200IS has not the problem, but it's not because that one builds as better lenses, but that there are factored out, the distortion of the firmware and not at the Fuji. In fact, the objective of the Fuji is in fact very useful. Also, the edge blurs are less than in the Panasonic.

The pictures of the Fuji show a very high resolution, but sometimes the image processing has problems with very fine regular structures. Ever the intervention of the image processing with smoothing and edge enhancement makes it soon felt what you would not expect at a praised as very bright camera so. Until ISO 400 I see the final result is not necessarily a clear advantage of Fuji over my G10 (with raw processing by DXO), but the Fuji may additionally make quite usable images at ISO 800 and in some cases even before 1600, where other cameras must give up entirely. A particular advantage of the light-sensitive mode with reduced resolution compared to the mode "high resolution" I can also submit not realize it, but as I said, the Fuji is reflected even at 12 MP resolution very well. Although the mode to increase the dynamic range of works, but I do not see any advantages over a slight manual underexposure and subsequent brightening via software, rather the opposite, since the Fuji chooses often far too high ISO values ​​for the mode.

The colors of Fuji are very natural and the white balance in artificial light is the best thing I've seen in a camera.

The battery life is very poor, but at least there are spare batteries dirt cheap, since the same model (even from other manufacturers) used in other cameras. The charger is also advised very clunky.

The cover of the ports acts as a half-hearted mix of flap, slide and lid and is extremely fiddly. Instead of a standard mini USB has a proprietary connection, which also serves as a video connection.

As I said, great image quality but shortcomings in the practicality. As a universal and holiday camera for less experienced photographers I would honestly rather recommend another camera that is more intuitive to use. Canon there are plenty of small and good cameras and Panasonic is well positioned. Since there is then also a good video mode.

Who the picture quality in a compact size as possible about everything goes, who is with the Fuji but well served. Because of the many small faults in detail, there is of me only 3 stars.
