Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD

05 Jun, 2009, 6:31 pm IST | Nikhil Singh | Point and Shoot

The S2000HD features a CCD sensor capable of taking shots of up to 10 megapixels. It features all the standard automatic modes - Natural light, Natural light w/flash, and a load of scene modes. Apart from this, it has an enhanced image stabilization mode for those extremely shaky subjects, that didn't make too much of a difference over the standard image stabilization, but the minuscule difference it made could make or break a shot, so the mode's a welcome bonus. It also features a Zoom mode that's specifically designed for full zoom shots (15x), where image stabilization required is far greater. Again, the results in this mode were satisfactory.

Apart from this, the camera boasts of loads of manual modes that are easy to configure. These modes include a Programmed AE, shutter priority, full manual, and a custom mode that stores your manual settings. While the camera does not produce very high quality shots (at least high enough for print), these manual features alone make it really handy for those who wish to dabble with amateur photography.

The camera's picture quality was average, with spot on auto-white balance, good color reproduction, but just about average picture quality.

The S2000HD passed our macro tests with ease, and focused on objects as close as 2 inches with ease.

The ISO performance on the other hand was barely average, and pictures at and beyond ISO 200 began losing detail and producing loads of artifacts. This could cause problems for those of you who wish to make use of the camera without flash, during low light shots.

In spite of this, the camera's night mode wasn't too bad. Images produced were not too low on detail, and were relatively low on artifacts.
