normal users do not purchase a top of the line 1Ds-series camera too..I think the reviewer was talking about the normal picture that we as a user who would snap or buy this product, the picture that does not need any Photoshop and its easy as PnS...
As for the fraction of the price compare to other DSLR
the picture is good enough.
People got so excited about a comment with reference one features of the camera matching a Top of the line DSLR, but understandably so, but got to bear in mind what is being reference here is dynamic range, and that's before any comparison against DSLR Raw info, which provided a much higher dynamic range.
However, I do find it quite impressive on my own F200EXR, my wife took some snap shoot of kids & myself, with back-light. With normal P&S (and even DSLR), you would expect the faces to be dark and the backlight area totally blown out. But the pict turn out very balance across the frame, with some darkness on the faces. I like the tag-line, Inspired by the Human Eye.

I've some an issue here. The pics I've taken (both indoor and outdoor) seem washed out in colour, need some adjustment with photoshop. Tried using EXR, auto and P mode all have similar problems, EXR mode is better than the other 2. I see photos posted in this forum, some are without pp and turns out to be all right. I'm not sure if it's my monitor or photoshop or camera itself.
Have u flash to the latest firmware 1.2?

Did you set the flash setting to "suppressed flash" mode?
You can try a few attempts. I tried mine under the table. The first time, it set to ISO1600 and took without flash. The second time, it auto set to ISO800 and flashed. I guess the software attempts to get away with no flash as much as possible for that "DSLR" feel. It sets the ISO higher in these cases. When it assessess the lighting is indeed too low even for ISO1600, it fires the flash.
It seems like my problem is with colour profile. Now seems all right.
Omega23, I've updated to version 1.20.

dude. RTM. u set the EXR mode yourself
Just got my F200 EXR last week, played with it a bit and I am rather pleased... but the learning curve is pretty steep for newbie like me...
I dont use IS01600 outdoor with bright sun light, it always come out overexposed... I dont like EXR auto mode, its noisy and its not that accurate outdoor/sunlight.
I like the P mode setting, and so far have been alternating between P mode (for general+macro shots), and EXR SN (for low lights), EXR DR (for high contrast)....
I think i need more time to experiment with it....

that's why i bought F200EXR again after initially dumping it for F70EXR which was a big mistake :thumbsup:
can u elaborate more? because i thought F70 is quite ok too if you dont pixel peep, and it performs similar to F200 EXR?
In theory F200 produces better IQ, but I have heard that F70's not far behind too....

The F70EXR and F200EXR serves different purposes. If you don't need the long range, the F200EXR would be more suitable. You can check out the sample image links I posted in this forum.
BTW, I came to confirm that inspite of the newer firmware, the camera still performs better in "P" mode (limited to ISO800) than in "EXR-SN" mode under low light.

err... i tried not to pixel sweep, but F70EXR really has very bad purple fringing and CA in broad daylight and even under indoor lighting where contrast is high...
forget about F70EXR if u do not need the reach.. you won't regret, trust me.... :thumbsup:

Thanks for the info, I'll try P mode in dim light some time.
OIC... actually, I was seriously contemplating between this 2 cams last week, the only reason I chosed F200 is because I saw many F70 samples with horrible CAs... which doesnt seem that obvious on F200...
but i must admit the 10x reach is really cool...
I just tried a few night shots with EXR SN, the high ISO really shines with F200!
stumble upon a wonderful comparison Chinese website comparing F200EXR vs rivals in he same range...
