Takes pictures anywhere under most conditions very easily.
All options are within finger reach and can be changed very quickly.
Tip- read the manual and keep it with you while you get use to the options.
So it came as a surprize when I downloaded my first images from the 2000HD that they all appeared blurred - and those taken using the integral flash were all overexposed.
I tried the camera on many of the other settings and eventhough the images were better, they were still blurred and no way matched my old camera, despite offering a 10MP resolution.
Having finally tried and failed to produce some quality images, I felt that perhaps there was a problem with the lens - and have therefore returned the camera to Amazon.
It may well be that the camera that I received was faulty - and is not a true reflection of the model, but paying £160 I did expect similar or better results to my previous Fuji.
That said, the camera is laden with many useful features including the zoom bracketing (which takes three shots of the same image at different zoom settings simultaneously).
Having been a real fan of fuji cameras, I now feel dissapointed and will probably be looking at another brand in future.
However, since the obvious comparison is between the s5 and D200, the s5 is clearly superior to the D200 on image quality, particularly right out of the camera. In speed of operation however, the D200 leaves the s5 in the proverbial dust.
The Nikon D200 is sure and fast, very fast. Like all the latest digital Nikon's, they will keep shooting for extended periods. However, the images demand you tweak the camera and do copious amounts of post-processing. The Fuji is more deliberate. It is fast enough to get out of its own way and get the shot and as well as the next, but not fast enough to keep shooting under demanding conditions, at which the Nikon excels. It isnt that the s5 is sluggish, it is that the Nikon is just so fast.
However, once you understand the reason for this relative slowness, you can deal with it. Again, it's all about the images.
The Fuji will produce stunning images from RAW files. It will do beautiful images straight from the camera. If you are a JPEG shooter and hate processing images on the computer, this is the camera for you.
Although the metering is very, very accurate under all but the most backlit conditions, it has a tendency to underexpose the images in anything less than sunlight, so exposure compensation is a must. The good news there, is that unlike most other cameras Ive used, where exposure compensation can be hit or miss - or thoroughly ineffective, compensation is even and responsive. This keeps me from having to fiddle with metering options trying to get the proper exposure. A seriously underrated feature of the camera.
Before the v1.06 firmware update, I was not impressed with the Automatic White Balance, having to constantly change the custom white balance, particularly with street lighting or ANY kind of flourescent lighting. Charged-gas lighting would give a nasty yellow or green cast to the images. After the update, the AWB is stunning, able to handle almost any lighting thrown at it. Since the update, I rarely touch the white balance settings. I simply dont have to. Amazing.
Also, before the update - the images would go "Blue" under strong light and deep shadows, with a deep magenta-ish cast at night. After the update, that tendency has been minimized and the images are far better balanced - giving that true Fuji color without overdoing it either way.
If you get a unit without the latest firmware, upgrade it at once. Period. This update gives me the camera I expected out of the box.
So, the good news: The images are worth every penny you pay.
The only way I can put it - standard, out of camera images often look like HDR images with unreal detail in both shadows and highlight. When you get that characteristic glossy look from a shot, you will involuntarily gasp.
More good news: For low light images, this camera is nothing short of amazing. I shoot primarily at night and in low light, and I rarely, almost never - shoot above ISO 1250. I have shot (using a f/2.8 17-55mm Nikkor) at ISO 2000 in near darkness, and the images came out as if I had studio lights with VERY little noise. And thats another thing, noise is near nonexistent on the vast majority of my images, and what there is has a nice even film-like grain, not blotchy or nasty as you would see on a D200 shooting above ISO 400.
However, all this goodness comes at a price. The high quality images are HUGE. A JPEG file set at the highest quality (FINE) takes up 5 - 7 megs. A RAW file averages 25 megs. This is why the camera doesnt feel as fast as the Nikon, as it is transferring massive amounts of data through the buffer to the card. You will start looking for large and very fast CF cards as well as upgrading your storage in short order.
The camera is expensive compared to the D200, but it is definitely worth the premium if you demand the highest quality images. To bring out the best in this camera, you need the highest quality lenses. It is also murder on sloppy camera technique, so be sure to avoid shake.
In all good conscience, I cannot rate the camera as 5 stars, but it is definitely a 4.5 - 4.75, even at the price.
If I had to choose between the D200 and S5, the S5 wins hands down. In fact, I would get a D2Xs as a speedy backup to this camera, not the D200. My wish would be if Fuji decided to put this sensor and technology into the body of a D2Xs. Then Id probably give it 5 stars.

(Edit)
So, after 5 months and 35,000 images later...
For image settings I dont fark around with the film simulation
I have had a great deal of fun with this, and have taken great shots in a variety of scenes. For the price this delivered exceptional value, with quality and flexibilty.
I would highly recommend to anyone who wishes to take the first step from a standard camera but does not want to invest as much time and money in the more expensive DSLRs out there.
The Movie feature is also excellent. I hadnt really paid much attention to it, but later discivered it produces HD quality movies with zoom features whilst filming. Better than my recently purchased camcorder.
Watch out for the accessories linked via amazon. I bought a camera case which was much too small!
Bottom line - It's a nice handy go-anywhere camera.
Like all of the modern stuff these days, it isn't straight forward to get used to at first and you can get your settings mixed up if you don't know what you are doing. This said however, there is a handy 'reset' setting that can get you out of trouble and return the camera to its original settings (ideal for 'point and clickers!') There are a few drawbacks with the camera but nothing major. For example, when taking pictures at 7 mega pixels, the camera takes a while to process your shots. This means that you are unable to shoot a succession of shots quickly. I also find that the 10X Zoom is occasionally insufficient but lets be fair here we are talking about a cheap camera! You will spend quite a bit of money on batteries if you take a lot of film but I reckon I get around 2-3 hours of footage for a set of Duracell batteries which isn't bad really.
Once you do get used to using this, you will be keen to get out and use it. Believe me, if a technophobic like me can learn to use this to ANY degree it must be user friendly! HA HA
No, I have taken thousands of pictures and hundreds of films with this and would not hesitate to buy another should anything happen to mine.
A real bargain.
I previously owned a FinePix S5700 which was a very good all rounder. For Christmas 2009 My wife bought me a Toshiba Camelio HD video camera (which i hinted for) but to put it mildly it was rubbish..rubbish rubbish.
My wife took it back got a refund.
My wife then bought me S2000HD via my amazon account (unfortunately the first one never turned up). All I can say is WOW
The picture quality is fantastic even in very low light and the HD video is better than anything i have seen on any HD video camera.
The camera is very easy to use and has some very good professional features, which would give some high end Nikons or Cannons a run for there money.Its also worth mentioning that the S2000HD which I got from Amazon has the Version 2 firmware, which is not even listed on the official Fuji website (The latest version on Fuji website is version 1.1)
The price on Amazon is exceptional good value for money as you dont just get the camera you get the full HD connection kit and remote control which is normally £35.00 to £50.00 alone.
My tip would be to buy a screen protector for the LCD screen.
This is not a indepth review, as you can see but if you are thinking about buying this camera "BUY IT NOW" you wont regret it.
There are a few downsides;
1. I would prefer proper lithium batteries - however AA's are easily found in an emergency, and the batteries supplied retained their power pretty well so it turned out to be a non-issue.
2. No thread = no filter - a drawback for me. I'm sure you could codge something together if so minded.
3. A plastic lens cover - how cheap and nasty is that as it clatters around.
4. The digital zoom - switch it off. Not unique to this camera of course but it is very poor.
So I would say there are no deal-breakers there. All in all I think this is a very good camera.
The V10 is surprisingly heavy/solid for a camera of this size. With such small dimensions, I would have expected a `lighter' camera. You can take that as either a plus or a minus...but I have felt larger cameras that had nothing but a plastic body and that felt cheap (prone to destruction) but this baby is solid. All metal housing. I read a few reviews where some preferred that the the AV-out and the DC-in flaps were solid, hinged doors but I am okay w/the plastic/rubber flaps. I guess the same could be said for the plastic tripod mount (I read that in other reviews, too), but for my purposes I won't really be using a tripod w/this camera.
My original purchase was to replace/upgrade an older (4-5 years) point & shoot digital camera. What I have come to like (appreciate) of this camera (besides the monster LCD) is the thin size and small, "pocketability". In a case I bought off the rack, it fits comfortably in my jacket/coat pocket (or a woman's purse). I cannot do that with point & shoot cameras that have the right-handed, gripping area. I could get a comparably priced camera w/higher megapixels but it will be a lot bulkier (and since I don't regularly make prints higher than 5x7, the 5 megapixels of this Fuji is fine).
As for the high ISO, I would advise you to not use that feature. Unless you are very familiar w/that feature and how it works on this model, you may be disappointed when getting your shots developed. (The graininess really shows in the pictures.) If that feature is important to you (a lot of night, low-light or action shots), then you should really consider a different (more expensive) camera that has very good image stabilization. I've had point & shoot and digital SLRs and this will definitely not give you the images of an SLR. (I actually compared images w/a Canon Rebel.) If you take a lot of pictures in low light or action shots, this `may' not be the camera for you...but for a point & shoot this handles well.
I am aware that this camera cannot do it all (when it comes to picture quality), but that is more than acceptable to me when you look @ its features, for the price. (But if you want a camera to do it all, stop reading here and pay more for something else!!!) For the money ($[...], including shipping, from another vendor in Feb. 07), this was a steal. (Granted, the camera was released @ the beginning of '06, but its features still ring true one year later...and that tells a lot about the design behind the camera.) The large screen, sorting images by date, 30 image viewer @ once, etc. are all amazing. I have had many digital cameras over the years, and this is great for the price I paid. (My family was very impressed at one of the nephew's birthday parties.)
Battery power is better than I expected. Being accustomed to changing out AA batteries from my previous point & shoot (and having charged spares in the bag), I expected the proprietary Fuji battery to not have much life. Well I was wrong. I had the fear, from other reviews, that I would need to get a back-up (and I may in the future) but I used this camera for a wedding & reception in which I completely filled a 1 GB card w/pictures and movie clips and the battery level never dropped one bar....and now I don't have to carry around all those extra AAs.
In general, the menu selections/settings are very intuitive, and start-up (from when you turn it on) is very fast. The movie clip feature is quite amazing. Hooking it up to the TV w/the accompanied cable and it looks very much like a camcorder. (Getting good quality movie clips was important to me when I chose this camera.)
Keep in mind, the different sources of information that are out there: this is the V10, and whether the camera (on the outside) is stock silver, gun metal gray or orange, it is still the same camera. (Hint: it doesn't matter what color the outside is, the inside is still the same and will produce the same results...so, if you want this model specifically in orange, and end up reading a review of one that is gun metal gray, it should be the same thing.)
For an entry level camera, or even an upgrade, this camera (besides its low price) will outweigh many competitors. While I am
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this camera to a discrimination friend particulary one who wants to travel light but still have a lot of flexibility in getting the perfect shot.
SIZE
This camera is tiny and easily fits unnoticably into a pocket. Very portable. CHECK.
CONSTRUCTION
Mostly metal, feels solid in my hand and weighs more than you would expect for such a small package. Normal Fujifilm quality. CHECK.
LCD
Wow, oh wow. The huge screen dwarfs anything I've seen on other cameras. Clear and bright in all light levels and my wife can even see it without her glasses! In just the 10 days I've owned this camera, several complete strangers have commented on the screen and have asked for a better look. Also, there is a one-button-push image brightening function for bright light conditions. Simple and effective. CHECK.
EASE OF USE
Sometimes you just want a point and shoot camera, no fuss, no drama and be prepared to live with the limitations. Everything about my new camera had to be simple - my wife was tired of not being able to use any of our other cameras! The V10 couldn't be simpler - power on, wait about 1.2 seconds, point, shoot. There's some more advanced features buried in the menu system but if you're buying this camera, you probably won't need them or use them. CHECK.
IMAGE QUALITY
Take a look at the sample photo I uploaded to the image gallery. I am absolutely delighted with the results produced by this camera - with one caveat - the scene must be well lit with available light. For vacation photos, this camera will excel. Quality can be superb with low noise levels, sharp images and vibrant (but exaggerated) color rendition which is slightly blue biased. Forget about the flash - it's almost useless except for shots at no more than 6' distance and it WILL produce red-eye (easily corrected in most photo editing packages). CHECK.
ZOOM CAPABILITY
The 3.4x zoom is more than adequate for most needs. When you handle this little gem, you will wonder how the heck Fuji managed to fit all this into such a small package. A miracle of engineering. CHECK.
FEATURES
Easy playback was important. On this camera it's the press of one button and half a second later the image is displayed on the LCD. A half press of the shutter button and you're back to picture-taking mode.
Video was not so important to me but it's actually very good. The only limitation is that you can't zoom once you've started recording but if you want video, buy a video camera!
Games. Yes, you read that right. I have absolutely no need of games on my camera but the V10 has 4 built in. They seem like late 1980's style games but why would you need them? Well, have you ever traveled with a grumpy child who is 'bored' every 5 minutes. Hand them your camera so they can play the games and although initially they'll probably laugh at the quality, I bet they'll play them and make your trip a lot more enjoyable!
Other features include an easy macro mode, easy deletion of images oh, and a sensible length 'lanyard' style strap. For a point and shoot, I'd say this camera is very well featured. CHECK
CAPACITY
There's nothing more annoying than running out of either battery or memory card space. For day to day use, I have found the rechargeable Fuji battery lasts longer than I need. Unfortunately the camera must be plugged in to recharge the battery and it's a pretty slow process (3 hours plus) but if you remember to charge it overnight, you'll be fine. I have already bought a spare battery and will charge it up for use as a spare if I ever do use up the first battery in one day.
Here's my first complaint about this camera - what on earth are Fujifilm thinking shipping it with a 16mb XD card? Save yourself time and order a 1GB card with the camera - that's large enough for 820+ photos at normal resolution. Yeah, the XD card is not as popular as some other formats, but it is VERY fast - much faster than SD cards.
My only other complaint is the charger is far too big - why not just have a small device into which the battery slots? The 'power-brick' and cable approach is so 1990's.
So, overall, I give the Fuji Finepix V10 an enthusiastic thumbs-up. At this price point, you will not be disappointed.
