The new Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR digital camera brings Fujifilm’s Super CCD EXR sensor to the superzoom “bridge” camera category. Based on last year’s popular FinePix S100FS digital camera, the 12-megapixel S200EXR has the same 14.3x optical zoom lens and the look and feel of a digital SLR.
With a full-size camera body and manual zoom ring, the S200EXR will feel and behave a lot like a digital SLR. Fujifilm claims their 12-megapixel Super CCD EXR sensor will also deliver digital SLR image quality. That seems a stretch since the sensor is still tiny compared to those used in digital SLRs. But reports on the Super CCD EXR sensor are pretty positive and S200EXR camera owners can reasonably expect image quality better than most compact digital cameras.

Besides the 14.3x Fujinon zoom lens and 12.3-megapixel Super CCD EXR sensor, the new Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR features:
- EXR Auto shooting mode
- 2.7-inch 230k-pixel LCD display
