The FujiFilm FinePix F200EXR, which we told you about, a couple of days ago has got a price tag. Amazon has listed this advanced compact camera for $399 which some may find quite pricy for a point and shoot.

The Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR is different from the current crop of compact cameras thanks to its new generation CCD sensor, the EXR. The sensor offers 3 selectable modes, which are; Fine Capture Mode (High Resolution), Pixel Fusion Mode (High Sensitivity and Low Noise), and Dual Capture (Wide Dynamic Range).

Cameras.co.uk reviewed the Fuji Finepix S8100 FD, which is a mid-range super zoom digital camera. The digicam works because of its cheap price tag and overall performance was found to be quite decent. The S8100 has a decent feature set but image noise was quite noticeable at higher ISOs.

Excerpt from conclusion:
“The Fuji Finepix S8100 is a bit cheaper than many of its competitors. Taking this into account when looking at the quality of the photos it produces means it offers decent value for money. There is not a great deal to choose between a lot of these super zoom cameras and I am sure this camera will sell well.”

An issue that, in some rare case, the camera may be frozen when PC controlling software (included in "Hyper Utility　HS-V3") is used has been resolved.
