Fujifilm FinePix S2000 HD Camera Review
The Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD is a new ultra-zoom compact digital camera, featuring a 15x optical zoom lens with a focal length of 27.6-414mm. The 10 megapixel S2000 HD has dual image stabilisation (CCD shift plus high ISO) to help avoid camera-shake and keep your photos sharp, and there’s a 2.7 inch LCD screen and an electronic viewfinder for image composition. The FinePix S2000HD is the first ever Fujifilm camera to record both High Definition movies and still photos, shooting HD video at 720p (1280 x 720 pixels). You can also zoom the 15x lens during movie recording, and then connect the Fujifilm S2000HD to a HD TV using the supplied remote control and cable to view your handiwork.
Priced at £249 / $299, the Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD is one of the more affordable super-zooms on the market, but is it the best?
With its large, springy, clearly labeled controls, relatively lightweight chassis (even with four AAs and Secure Digital card inserted) plus plastic build, Fujifilm’s new DSLR-styled FinePix S20000HD at first glance would appear a decent challenger for Canon’s recently-reviewed PowerShot SX110 IS in the ‘family friendly’ superzoom stakes. Yet Fujifilm’s press blurb is also suggesting its camera as an apt fit for the ‘budding pro’. So can the S2000HD truly satisfy both enthusiast and occasional happy snapper – or does it fall unconvincingly between the two stools?
