Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD Review

Mark Goldstein | PhotographyBLOG | October 8, 2008 | 9 Comments |

The Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD is a new 10 megapixel ultra-zoom camera that can also shoot high-definition, 720p video. Even better, you can use the full range of the S2000 HD‘s 15x zoom lens during filming, covering both wide-angle and extreme close-up subjects. In addition to its movie-making capabilities, the Fujifilm S2000 HD has a a 2.7 inch LCD screen and an electronic viewfinder for image composition, and dual image stabilisation to keep your photos sharp. Gavin Stoker found out if the competitively priced (£249 / $299) S2000HD is the perfect ultra-zoom camera.

Is zooming whilst filming really a good thing? How many good movies have you seen recently where the cinematographer zooms in the middle of a scene?

Hi, I'd like to know if this supports time lapsed photography. Thanks.

Did a lot of searching for reviews on the Fuji S2000HD and this has to be the finest review I've read.
Straight to the point and honest.
I'll be a regular visitor for sure!

Hi there, Great review of the S2000HD. I also did a lot of searching for ratings and reviews of the S2000HD, and yours by far was the most in depth, detailed review of the bunch. Nice Job!

Just ordered mine (with help from your review of course) and can't wait to start playing with it!

Great in-depth review! I will be using it in my decision between this camera and the Coolpix P80. Like Lee V, above, implies, I would like to see this class of camera support time-lapse photography, and feel that it would be a very easy option for manufacturers to incorporate.

Great review. Accurate and to the point. Had the camera for a couple of weeks now and fully agree with all points and opinions given. Good little camera and yes I would recomend it to a friend.

Good review - have had one for two months - the S2000HD WILL produce immages as good - or better than its opposition - up to A3 ! - but you need to post process - use a simple software package like Canon's Zoombrowser - wang sharpening up to 100% - then back off 10 to 15 % - you will get some surprising results - the only review I have noted which shows this -

Really helpful review. It did influence my choice to by this camera. The only thing i don't agree with is 3.5 for image quality. Seems this device deserves a bit higher rate. IMHO
