We like:

Long 14.3x zoom; good design; great value for money

We don't like:

EXR features aren't fully integrated with the rest of the camera; sensor size limits quality

The build quality, handling and controls of the Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR really are surprising given its price. It's just like a digital SLR, but much cheaper, and so much more pleasant to handle than rival superzooms, thanks to its size and manual zoom control. But the clever EXR technology feels like an add-on, and the small sensor size puts a cap on picture quality
