Handling (7.00)
The F200EXR isn't the slimmest camera on the block, but it's got a pleasant heft that makes it feel good in the hand. That said, it's a little thick for slipping into tight pockets. Since the entire body is glossy plastic, it picks up fingerprints very easily, especially the silver areas.

Buttons & Dials (8.75)
The button layout is identical to what you see on 90% of point-and-shoot cameras, which makes it almost instantly usable if you've had one before. The buttons are a little on the small side, so if you have largish fingers, you might find using the four-way pad a bit inaccurate sometimes.

Menu (5.00)
The menu system runs as an overlay on top of the live view, so you can always see your images peeping through around it. While the controls are quite expansive, the menu has an annoying habit of kicking you out every time you change a setting. If you want to alter multiple settings at a time, you have to change one, go back to the menu, change another, go back to the menu, etc. It gets old very quickly.

Manual & Learning (2.00)
The F200EXR's manual is rather sad. It's very thin, doesn't define functions very well at all, and certainly doesn't devote enough time to the intriguing EXR modes that the camera can use. It skirts over the vast majority of content, offering only brief explanations. There is no index, and the table of contents is only a few minor steps away from being useless. You can download the manual from this link.
