Fujifilm FinePix S3200

Zitat: Pro: + Un prix tr�s limit� pour une plage de focale pouss�e Contra: - Qualit� d´image en haute sensibilit� notamment

Zitat: Positiv: + starker Zoom + sehr günstig + stimmiges Bedienkonzept + manuelle Einstellungsmöglichkeiten Negativ: - unterdurchschnittliche Bildqualität - niedriger Kontrollbildschirm-Auflösung - überschaubare Verarbeitungsqualität Viel hilft nicht viel – das gilt leider auch für die Fujifilm FinePix S3200. Fernab vom starken Zoom kann die Bridge-Kamera weder mit einer guten Bildqualität, noch mit einer nennenswerten Verarbeitung überzeugen.

Zitat: The Good: + Affordable + large zoom range + built-in viewfinder + manual controls The Bad: - Poor continuous focus - low quality screen with inaccurate exposure in preview - over-processed images Some LCD preview issues and over-processed images are the S3200’s main issues. But for a budget price point this superzoom offers a huge 24-576mm zoom range, a variety of autofocus modes and a built-in viewfinder that make it all the more of a success for the cash

Zitat: The Fujifilm FinePix S3200 packs a huge amount of camera, into quite a large package, but makes up for this with an excellent entry level price. Whilst it may not be as fast as backlit-CMOS sensor based cameras, and noise levels suffer as a result, the S3200 with built in anti-shake makes an appealing camera if price is a concern. The biggest drawback is the camera´s image quality with images showing high levels of barrel distortion (at wide angle), and pincushion (at telephoto), as well as overly sharpened images, this gives white edges around objects where there shouldn´t be white edges. Video is decent, although focusing at the telephoto end can be an issue. Macro performance is reasonably good, although using super macro locks the camera at the wide-angle position. Handling is very good with rubberised grips for both hands. While the camera may offer a great package that looks the part, unfortunately it doesn´t deliver image quality to match, and I suspect other budget ultra zooms such as the Nikon Coolpix L120 or Olympus SP-610 will give better results. Fujifilm FinePix S3200 Pros Good handling, rubber grips Lots of zoom Good value for money Good macro Good video Low purple fringing Fujifilm FinePix S3200 Cons Menu structure could be better Large camera Noise at ISO800 and ISO1600 is high Over-processed images (sharpening artefacts) Barrel and Pincushion distortion Telephoto focus slow, hunts in video Small electronic viewfinder with no diopter correction

Zitat: The Fujifilm FinePix S3200 is a really nice camera to work with. It has its problems in all areas and that´s kind of what lets it down. If we were looking at a camera that was excellent in most areas but had a small issue in one then it could be forgiven. The S3200 is good in all areas but lacks in places that it really shouldn´t. For example, the S3200´s features are good enough for an entry level photographer to use and there´s the manual modes for more advanced users, but it would be good to see some more creative effects for new users to play with and see what different genres of photography look like. The build quality is good but is let down by the quality of the EVF. Sure, they´re all usually below par from most manufacturers but is it ok to make excuses? Finally, image quality is good when looked at on a computer at normal viewing size but it´s by no means excellent. Noise comes in at low stages and noise reduction works so hard it smudges the colours about making them look like they´ve been painted on. If you´re a keen photographer looking to trade in your DSLR and lenses for something more compact or you want a DSLR style camera for when a load of kit is too much, you may want to think about getting a higher spec Fujifilm model. If you´re just entering the market or you know a little about photography and want more, thhe Fujifilm FinePix S3200 will be better suited to you. The manual controls allow freedom to learn about apertures and shutter speed relations while the auto features will help if it all gets too much. That being said, we got on well with the Fujifilm FinePix S3200. Switch on time is fast but could be faster without the Fujifilm screen at the start. Focusing is pretty fast and the metering is accurate. It´s a digital compact camera sensor, so the dynamic range is limited but we didn´t get any burn out in highlights. If you´re in the market for this type of camera, they´re available for around £150 which is a pretty decent price for the amount of zoom and manual controls.
