Now My Dillema Is Over
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010
After a few months of reading reviews and waiting for new models to be released by famous camera manufacturers here in the Philippines, I found a camera that was released last 2007 by Fujifilm the Finepix F200 EXR.
Now I can totally say that my dillema is over.Why? This is the only camera that was built that so far has the edge among any model of Sony, Canon, Olympus, Nikon, Panasonic, Casio, Kodak, and etc at an affordable price with resolutions higher than 10 megapixels (MP).
The first edge is the sensor type. Fujifilm applied their patented sensor design that was beneficial when taking dark or bright scenes. Please read more about it here: Fujifilm Super CCD
The second edge is the sensor size. Compact cameras nowadays offer more than 10 megapixels at the expense of having the same or smaller sensor sizes. Thus, exceeding the 10 MP mark most compact cameras are at an equal feild because picture detail are the same for futher increase already gives image noise that decreases picture detail because the sensor is over worked to satisfy the promised resolution (with the exception of Leica and some Ricoh models where there sensor size is about the size of a regular film at 33mm or bigger).
Fujifilm’s Finepix F200 EXR is eqipped with bigger sensors than its competitors. It has a 7.78 x 5.83 mm sensor size at 25 MP/cm² density while others are at 33 MP/cm².
The third edge is for me the manual settings. Fujifilm’s Finepix F200 EXR offers its users to manually set the aperture size and shutter speed in the same manner as an SLR. For me it gives a formal introduction to the SLR world being able to cook a good shot. To learn about the role of aperture size and shutter speed, please refer to this article: Photography Composition Basics
Though Fujifilm’s Finepix F200 EXR also has its cons like the maximum aperture size it offers is smaller at f3.3 while others offer at f2.7 or f2.8 and not the fastest camera it offers a fraction of a second speed while others offer a per secon, I’d still pick this because of its value for money.The only problem I encountered is that it is difficult to find Fujifilm cameras for the only distributor in the Philippines is YKL Color that has limited branches accross the country.
