"Best Buy"
"... Any camera that costs over £300 needs to deliver extremely high image quality. Fortunately, the S200EXR does just that. Details were sharp, and although this is partly down to aggressive digital sharpening, this can be toned down to produce crisp yet natural details. The chromatic aberrations that hampered this model’s predecessor, the S100fs, are much less of a problem this time around. Best of all is the low noise when shooting at high sensitivities. ... Performance could be better, but with SLR-like controls and exceptional image quality, this is the best ultra-zoom camera we’ve seen."

"If you leave the S200EXR set to the EXR mode most of the time, you won't be disappointed with the results."

"... Composing your photos is a joy with the S200EXR. You can choose between the bright 2.7in LCD or the electronic viewfinder, both displays provide detailed status information in a smart way. ... It’s surprising that the S200EXR’s video recording is so disappointing. Video quality is decent, but it’s limited to 640 x 480 ... The muscular zoom, wealth of exposure controls, smart layout, and good battery life make the FinePix S200EXR a strong contender for a spot in your camera bag. This elegantly designed megazoom camera has a wealth of unique exposure options for serious photographers."

"Editor's Choice"
"Fujifilm has once again produced a superb feature-packed super-zoom camera that sets new standards for image quality and versatility, providing more control than most entry-level DSLRs. As a hobby photographer's camera the S200EXR is in a class of its own, and at its current price it's outstanding value for money."

"You get tonnes of camera with the Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR. It looks and handles like a dSLR, but costs half as much as an equivalent dSLR and superzoom lens combination. But, while the EXR sensor technology certainly works, it's not yet properly integrated with the camera's operation, and, even with the EXR technology, the size of the sensor puts a limit on the picture quality."

Value for money: 3 out of 5 stars
"... Fuji has long pioneered high performance in low light, and the S200EXR’s light sensitivity settings extend all the way up to an equivalent ISO12800. There is a caveat though, namely that resolution drops to three megapixels to limit noise at the higher setting. ... In terms of still image quality shots are not quite comparable to results from a DSLR and dedicated lens, they come close and a very impressive degree of sharpness is achievable under most conditions. ... If you don’t want the fuss or expense of changing lenses, the S200EXR offers an all-in-one solution with a focal range as broad as general-purpose photographers will need."

"... In terms of real handling though, the S200 is no match for a full DSLR; the lack of proper manual focus, the fixed lens, and the EVF ... all make a budget DSLR the preferred option for most. Money, however, is always and important consideration and with the S200's focal length, it remains a considerably cheaper option, while still being able to deliver the results."

"A jack-of-all-trades super zoom that whilst it may not offer the broadest range on the market, offers one of the best builds and a distinctive feature set none the less."

"The Fuji Finepix S200EXR is about as close as you can get to a Digital SLR without buying one. I was delighted by my test results and the camera handled superbly too. It was a joy to use a twisting barrel lens and the selection wheel speeds up selecting key settings. There are enough features here to satisfy more demanding photographers and I am more than happy to strongly recommend this camera."
