Score 9.0/10

+ Very good value for money and easy to use. Battery life is outstanding. It is very robust and well made. I brought this for the lens range, and I wasn't dissapointed; wide angle to super zoom

- Image quality is not quite as good as expected, when taking pictures in non perfect settings, but acceptable given the price. Zoom takes a little getting used to, as there is no fine control over it.

Score 9.0/10

+ Usual Fuji quality. Easy to use when used to the various controls. Nice "feel" and balance when using.
Control switches not to small or tightly clustered i.e. when selecting ONE, you don`t get a bunch.

- Not found any up to the present.

Score 8.0/10

+ It has all the features I want, not too complicated, if you spend a little time getting used to it.
I find it hard to rate, as I have not tried others, though I did a good bit of research, and am very happy.

- Prefer the old photosmart essential software to the new 3.5 version,

+ I love the optical zoom and the anti-shake function. Also that there is a couple of night functions.

- Slightly difficult to hold in the right hand so as not to press any buttons.

Sema, Glasgow

Score 9.0/10

+ Excellent close up pictures and is really good at picking up forefront objects against a background. The sunset mode is particularly good. The zoom is great, although a little blurred at maximum when the object is quite far. The camera is quite compact and not too bulky so is easily portable.

- When using zoom can be difficult to hold still and can result in blurring. Can take time to switch between different modes, especially when switching from still shots to video (takes time to load), which can be a pain when you are wanting to video in a hurry.

Score 9.0/10

+ Easy to use, HD video works with the optical zoom. Photos are very clear even in poor lighting due to its high ISO, the battery life is also good. For the price this is a perfect Bridge Camera.

- No case included, althougth a case can be purchased cheaply

Expert reviews for Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD

TechRadar expert review

The FujiÔ¨Ålm Finepix S2000HD has the look and feel of a digital SLR camera, but is aimed at those on a tighter budget needing a large zoom. The long lens ‚Äì offering an amazing 15x optical zoom ‚Äì and sturdy grip handle make it a chunky camera compared to compact cameras elsewhere. That said, it's an incredibly comfortable device to hold and, with the addition of a built-in image stabiliser, this is the best option here for those looking to capture action shots without losing sharp focus. The 10-megapixel rating is good enough for images of up to 3648 x 2736 pixels. What's more, you…

Pocket Lint expert review

The Fujifilm S2000HD brings some key Fuji technologies together with a super zoom optic and responsive handling with the cherry topping of 720p HD movie compatibility. As for those key Fuji technologies; Face Detection AF, the 15x Fujinon zoom lens, dual image stabilisation (both CCD shift and high ISO systems are employed) intelligent flash and automatic red-eye removal that combined form Fuji’s so called Real Photo Technology...

Expert Reviews expert review

An easy way for camera manufacturers to make their models sound modern is to add the letters HD to the name. Fujifilm is the latest to jump on the bandwagon, but at least the S2000HD has features to justify the HD suffix.
