–DESCRIPTION–
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. The Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD is one of the more affordable super-zooms on the market, but is it the best?
With plenty of sunlight in evidence, the Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD delivers colourful, well-saturated images, though highlight detail occasionally suffers under such circumstances and pixel fringing is evident between areas of high contrast, if only under close inspection. Generally, images are a little soft and fine detail smudged when compared with the likes of the Nikon Coolpix P80 or the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50, and so the S2000HD’s output benefits from an application of unsharp mask in Photoshop.
More positively, and especially so given its 27.6mm equivalent wide angle setting, images appear relatively free from barrel distortion – it’s slight rather than pronounced – at its widest point. There’s no denying too that the focus range on offer is well suited to capturing candids and skittish wildlife, though again, at full telephoto there’s a softness to images amplified by the concentration on details. As for image noise, or lack of, shots are clean up to and including ISO 800, with some smudging of detail is apparent at ISO 1600, but not unacceptably low. Move above this and resolution drops to partially limit the appearance of noise, top ISO 6400 setting looking more akin to a TV signal from the 1950s (albeit in colour).
So, for the most part, the Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD’s 10 megapixel, fine quality JPEG images are colourful yet natural, detailed without being razor sharp and, as noted, pleasingly free from pronounced barrel distortion at maximum wideangle.
