Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD Guiding and Reviews
As we know that The FinePix S2000HD is the first Fujifilm model to offer full compatibility with HDTV systems for both stills and movies. and this FinePix S2000HD is a compact and lightweight 10-megapixel camera with an incredible 15x optical zoom lens and HD movie recording/output.
In addition to true HD movies (at 1280 x 720 pixels) and widescreen stills (at 1920 x 1080), the FinePix S2000HD’s HD output allows the camera to display ultra-clear high-definition photographs and movies on an HDTV. An optional remote control makes viewing easier than ever. The S2000HD also features Fujifilm’s unique Face Detection technology that automatically recognizes up to 10 faces in a frame and adjusts focus and exposure, while also removing red-eye in camera. Other key S2000HD features include continuous shooting up to 13.5 frames per second at 3MP, Dual Image Stabilization for blur-free images, and extensive photographic control including 13 scene position settings.
Index of Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD Reviews
- Trustedreviews—Overall the S2000HD offers a lot of camera for the money, and is one of the most versatile super-zoom models on the market. It’s not without a few faults, but the excellent handling, wide zoom range, fast performance and superb low-light focusing make this a camera that can cope in most situations. As a general-purpose camera it’s hard to beat for the price.
- Cnet—The good: Very compact, comfortable design; lots of shooting options; 720p MPEG-4 video; relatively inexpensive.The bad: Slow performance; visible image noise even at low ISO sensitivities; mediocre EVF.The bottom line: The nicely designed Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD has more going on than just its long lens, but photo quality isn’t quite there.
- Pocket-lint—The S20000HD is a camera that I would steer enthusiast or the semi pros away from, despite Fujifilm’s stated aim with this model. But it will certainly prove popular among the more novice snapper and those needing that HD movie recording functionality, which despite being 720p is still very good indeed. More importantly, the excellent lens focal length range and the low ISO image quality are very good indeed, so worth a look over as at that price, it’s good value for money too.
- H2HReviews—“Each camera has its set of perks. The Fujifilm S2000 starts up faster, has a more powerful flash, and has more accurate colors in its images. The Kodak Z1015 has an edge with better resolution, longer videos, a bigger LCD screen, and optical image stabilization. Head-to-head, the Kodak EasyShare Z1015 IS fared better when considering image quality, videos, and various modes and features discussed in this review.”

Most of what you are hearing and read is true about this little Fuji and I have owned several Fuji’s, S602Z, S9000, S9100, etc., alongwith several Canon’s A710IS, S5IS, etc. For the money it is quite unbelievable capability-wise, and the more you tweak it, the better it gets, at least that is how it has worked for me and I do not regret buying it one iota! I also, as others, do not recommend using the Auto setting at all but especially the Program mode is where I have gotten my best results especially turning down the exposure quite a bit for outside photos. The video is very smooth and does get out of focus rather easily and works much better on a tripod for best results. I would buy this camera again and it is probably the most loved or hated camera at the same time that I have ever read about.

This is a fine camera. I replaced an older model camera because the electronics in that camera failed and it cost more to fix it than to replace it. This camera has slightly better capabilities but is lighter and does not appear to be as rugged. I would like more capabilities but those cameras cost more. This camera has been working well for about a month now. It eats batteries, this is the only problem issue that I have had with this camera.

I own a xacti hd1000. It takes very good videos and I decided to to purchase a camera to replace my old fujifilm s3800. I Now have a s2000hd which I purchased from circuit city when it went out of business. I saw the price and I saw the camera features and I thought to myself, “this is a good deal!”
It’s been about a month and have taken shots of family out in the park. I can tell you a few things about the camera.
1- it takes high contrast pics and adds even higher contrast
2- Color is very saturated
3- some noise even at low iso
4- chromatic aberration at super macro mode.
5- Some blurry super macro pics can be achieved if your hand is not steady enough but you can get some sharp pictures with practice.
You either love the camera or you hate it. For my super macro pics which has chromatic aberration, I use gimp and a plug in called “chromatic aberration” to fix the problem. The results are excellent. For the color saturation and contrast problem, for the really nice pics, I use bloom and Fake HDR in gimp to fix the issue. I love it. For picture noise, I found running the camera at 10 mega pixels images to be too noisy anything over 400 iso so force 400 auto in p setting or use 100. 400 for night shots are fine.
The HD feature is excellent but no were near my xacti hd1000. The audio is not that great compared to my hd1000 as well but this camera serves as an excellent backup in case I don’t have a hd recorder around.
I noticed some ccd smear. This appears as blue vertical streaks caused by massive light source through your lcd screen. WHen you hold the button halfway, this shows the true image you are going to take and that take has no ccd smear. Pictures never show ccd smear. There is also a firmware upgrade which kind of helps with the ccd smear issue.
for a 180 dollar camera, this is the best camera I have ever owned. I am giving it a 5 star rating because if you payed for this at this price range, it is a dead on deal. Compared to other cameras even at this price, noboby’s product can match it even in quality. If I payed for this camera at about 250 dollars plus, I would rate it at a 3.5. 3.5 just because it takes a bit of time to use the advanced features and time to understand what is going on with the camera and why sometimes the shots do not come out the way you expect it.
If you are a beginner, do not use auto mode. Use the SP mode and select the correct scene. I found if I used flash in auto, the flash supersaturated the scene with light. It has a way powerfull flash. If you use the sp mode with the correct scene, the picutres come out perfect. Auto mode is terrible. It loves high iso for non flash at nights and even at night with flash it uses high iso.
The sweet spot of this camera is program ae or P mode. Use sharp image setting in menu, use multispot, compensate for blown highlights with the +- aka exposure button manually. Use iso 100 and at night use flash. This camera takes excellent pictures this route. Using program AE sounds difficult but its not. It works like automatic but you set your camera how you want it. Automatic settings don’t detect scenes correct so this will help those of you who are pressed on having good, sharp, noisless pictures.
Chrome in the F button adds extra color and extra contrast. It is like a mini HDR but without it being dynamic in the spots where it counts. It is a nice feature and i tend to play with this in many of my shots. Chrome works very well and gives images an interesting look.
This camera is excellent. If you want natural looking pictures with a sharp look, you can achieve it but with great difficulty. If you want something that pops out and makes for some interesting shots, this is good for it. I find myself looking at the images not for its natural look but for the unreal and artistic look. Top these images with a HP 2408w monitor with a 92% gamut color saturation, It is way amazing.
Other cameras I have looked at where the
panasonic fz28 (excellent minus color is too bland and outputs too much barrel distortion for my taste and also the proprietary battery system stinks)
canon sx10 is (excellent natural picture taking camera with very “not-so-sharp” images but the chromatic aberration leaves me thinking why it costs so much. aa battery is a plus-non proprietary). Between these 2, the fz28 wins hands down in sharpness.
