Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR

NoiseColor
Color accuracy is decent, though film simulations remove certain controls.
Color (12.86)
The Fuji F200EXR has very good color accuracy in its Astia/Soft mode, more so than the Provia/Standard or Velvia/Vivid film simulations (color modes that mimic film types). This is a test of how much the captured color differs from the known values of the X-Rite ColorChecker chart, which we photograph under constant 3000 lux illumination, and analyze with Imatest software. More on how we test color.
While generally quite accurate, the Fuji had a bit of trouble with red and cyan. The chart below shows how well each camera captured the 18 colors of the X-Rite ColorChecker chart in their most accurate color mode. The Fuji and Canon have very similar color accuracy, while the Casio lagged behind a bit, and the Sony performed the best.

Color Modes (4.00)
The F200EXR uses ‘Film Simulations’ for color modes, mimicking the behavior of old Fujifilm film types. It has Provia/Standard; Velvia/Vivid; Astia/Soft; black and white; and sepia. Soft was the most accurate, because it had less trouble with reds and pinks than Standard. Vivid substantially oversaturated the image, and all the colors are shifted from their ideal value to make them seem more dynamic. However, if you’re shooting in Velvia or Astia modes, you won’t be able to use the 800% d-range EXR mode for dynamic range enhancement, but will be limited to the 100%-400% range.
