Fujifilm F200EXR is a GEM


DSCF2099.jpg


Quite pleased with its color. Only slightly below the s5pro at iso100 i should say.
 

Anyone can advise me what is the difference between F200 and F70? F70 is cheaper and have better zoom. So why is the F200 more expensive? Anyone can advise?
 

Size optical sensor is like the dimensions of film in the pre-90s. Over the years, advertisement have succcessfully concealed the reality that the larger is always better than the smaller which will need alot of optics if ever to come any closer.

F200's 1/1.6" sensor is among the largest in PnS cameras. F70 has 1/2.0" sensor which is still larger than quite a few more expensive PnS in the market.
 

in other words, F200EXR generally gives a better image quality than 70. hope that answered your qn!
 

great. i am thinking of getting this cam already.
 

Just got this camera recently! Really fantastic camera that lives up to its reputation! ;)

The DR-EXR mode is great! Though it's a pity that DR 800% can't be used when film simulation is being set to velvia/vivid.. Really love the vibrant colours from the velvia/vivid setting;p

Some photos to share:

DR-EXR
Shutter: 1/500
Aperture: F14
ISO: 100
DR: 400%

DR-EXR
Shutter: 1/250
Aperture: F9
ISO: 200
DR: 800%
 

F70EXR is also a very good camera! But I prefer to set it to P mode for all my photo.
Here are some photos I took recently....

F80exr is replacement for F70exr. :)

Well the spec is better than F200EXR... its replacing both then.. ;) Comes with HD Video recording but the CCD size is smaller than F200EXR.

That will mean that the noise control for the smaller sensor will be a challenge.
 

Hi my first post haha borrowed this camera from my friend for CNY and this is 2 of the shots that i took when I am free, btw if is not in the right place to post please do tell me =]

Wow you didn't get blurred picture at close range with 1/3s. Looks like Fujifilm CCD-shift stabilisation is not as bad as some reported.
 

can vouch for that. the OIS is alright, as with any other OIS.

Erm is not blurred because i used timer and also i placed it on a firm ground and not handheld thats why haha but normal shots is quite easy to get blur
 

I just got a monopod for ease and stability of close-up or long shot. A slave flash does help against shadow and backlighting. Somehow photobucket reduces the pixels by 20x (2M+ to 100k) after the shots are send here. They are all much better in my SD card.

Perhaps, these might address the common handicaps of most PnS - slower shutter due to smaller aperture and weaker flash without hot shoe.

From brute crop to 8% (12x enlarged) using Window Paint and some pixel losses from photobucket, it seems the Dynamic Range is still pretty good in retaining each white lotus petal distinct from each other and hardly any resolution loss at 6MP looking at the leave.

EXR Dynamic Range technologies might have well optimised a 6MP shot that I rarely get this results just few years ago without a good DSLR; not forgetting this F200EXR now costs even less than half of some top PnS peers.

Perhaps, there might be more details from the little F3.3 lens visible only when enlarged another 12x.

anglim - you are using the built-in flash to trigger the slave is it?
 

Slave flash needs no connection. Point it to the subject and it triggers itself whenever the subject received a weaker flash.

The Bower SFD328 even automatically controls intensity according to distance and costs USD60 incl shipping from Saini at http://www.amazon.com/Bower-B000I3P...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=photo&qid=1267535321&sr=1-1

Only remember to use only ISO200 for our F3.3 aperture. Works fine with either 1/60s or slow flash syn.
