Fujifilm Finepix F200exr

I just recently bought a fujifilm finepix f200exr and was wondering why the pictures when zoomed in, all have a grainy/noisy look to them. My last camera, all the pictures were sharp and clear when you zoom in.

Additionally, what is exr? I don't really understand it.

compacts are getting worse by the year with grain or noise. camera makers are increasing the pixel count, but the image sensor is the same size. Did you know that digital cameras from back in the day that were 1 megapixel had an image sensor that was about the same size as the sensor in your camera?

The pixels are too small, they gather very little light and noise and grain and jacked up details are the result, even with good light and low ISO settings.

The only thing you can do is shoot at the lowest ISO you can. When the light level is low, and the flash can reach your subject, force the flash.

You can find all the EXR mumbo jumbo at Fuji's site. In plain english it's a way to combat noise with low light, high ISO images. But in all honesty, it's a band-aid like 120hz LCD TVs. They could fix all of this if they went with the largest image sensor that you usually find in compacts, and then dropped the pixel count to 5 or 6 MP, but they won't. People have been so brain washed by camera marketing that pixel counts must climb even though it makes things worse not better.

If you want something better in low light, and not super expensive, I'd look for a used Fuji F31d. It was 6MP and uses the largest sensor for compacts. It has decent low light quality for a compact, and when you shoot at low ISO like 100 or 200, and you blow it up, it's not trash.

It's kinda sad that we need to look for old digital cameras to get something better than the new models.

Review of the Fuji F200EXR camera. A really outstanding camera! See my full review at: www.amazon.com

i'm planning to buy a digital camera..
i want to know if the Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR has a great image quality..if not, pls give me some names of other cameras that have great image quality...

For a compact camera, the Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR has a large sensor size (1/1.6 ")

Because of it's larger sensor, it's pixel density is 25 MP/cm^2, which is definitely good for the compact size (most of the compact cameras seem to be around 30 MP/cm^2--and the smaller pixel densities are typically better)

Basically, the lower the number of the pixel density, the more light that can reach each pixel, and the less "noise" occurs that would need to be reduced through noise reduction processing.

Several other things also factor into its image quality, such as it's aperture range, image-processing engine, color management, and lens quality.

Unfortunately for you, I'm not an expert on any of those (although I do think that the lower the number on the aperture, the more light that will go through--and you would want a wide aperture range with a low number).

The camera does come equipped with the EXR technology, which seems to be a major plus. I don't know how well it actually works, but it seems like cutting edge technology that will improve your image quality, especially for those low-light situations.


I'm not sure how much into photography you are, what type of pictures you plan to shoot, or how great of an image quality you truly need.

I don't own the camera, but based on the specifications, it seems like an excellent camera.

Price: $39.95 $29.95

Approximate External Dimensions: 4.5 X 4 X 3 inches
Holds compact digital cameras and other additional accessories
Padded camera compartment to provide superior protection

Is it possible for a novice to take decent pictures with the EXR AUTO function on this camera?
Thanks very much for any help.
I'm thinking of buying one,but I don't want to have to learn all the "technical" rubbish !

Judging by your question, yes that camera is exactly what you want. I have the first of that series (F10) and they are one of the best lines of compact digital cameras.

Which digital camera is better?
perhaps pros and cons?
have any of you had experience with either of these two?

Thank you!

I would recommend Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3.Picture quality are excellent,sharp & clear.

is it worth buying? when you compare to sd880......

For a compact, if you want low noise in low light, you cant go far wrong with that camera
