Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR

Canon SD970 IS ComparisonNext: Page 13
Sony T900 ComparisonCasio EX-FC100 Comparison
The F200EXR and EX-FC100 are very different cameras. Each has an interesting technological hook: the Fujifilm’s new sensor, and the Casio’s extreme speed capabilities. In terms of image quality, the Fuji outperformed the Casio substantially in terms of color accuracy and resolution, but scored slightly lower in our image noise testing. Neither had very good image stabilization, and while the video from the Casio was better, it was by no means fantastic. The Fuji also has a much deeper control system, including a manual mode. The EX-FC100 only has a nine-megapixel sensor, compared to the F200EXR’s 12, but in terms of print size, that’s not a huge difference. The Casio is almost the same size as the Fuji, bust slimmer around the grip, and noticeably lighter.
The Casio’s speed-demon shooting abilities are what put it beyond the Fujifilm. It can take still photographs at speeds up to 30 frames per second (though at reduced resolution), which is great for grabbing that perfectly timed shot. It can also record videos at up to 1000fps (at 224×64, a tiny sliver of content) 420fps at 224×168, and from 30 to 210fps at 480×360. These slow motion modes are not only incredibly fun to play with, but the 480×360 mode actually produces a video that’s large enough to be useful,
If you want a camera that’s an utter speed demon, the Casio is uniquely appealing. It’s ideal for nature or sports photography. However, in terms of pure image quality and control, the Fuji is the superior camera.
