Digital Home Thoughts: Fuji Finepix 200EXR: 3 Shot Modes in One Camera

"Fujifilm has unveiled the FinePix F200EXR digital compact, incorporating its new 1/1.6" Super CCD EXR sensor. The camera is the first to use the company's EXR technology that can use the sensor in three different ways to optimize resolution, dynamic range or low-light performance. The F200EXR has a 3.0" LCD, 5x optical zoom, dual image stabilization and HD (stills) output. An EXR Auto mode lets the camera select which of the three sensor modes is used or the user can make that decision themselves."

The Fuji FinePix F200EXR is more than a typical 12 megapixel, 5x zoom compact camera. The fascinating feature on it is the 1/1.6 inch super CCD sensor that offers 3 separate shooting modes: 1) Fine Capture Mode which gives you 12 megapixels and is designed to offer the most detail when light is ideal; 2) Pixel Fusion Mode which combines two adjacent pixels together to produce 6 megapixels to produce the best low light shots; and 3) Wide Dynamic Range which captures different exposures - each with six megapixels - that are combined to give you a high dynamic range photo. I have seen a few sample photos on the web and they look impressive. Check out the rest of the article for all the details!
