Fujifilm Finepix S2000hd 10mp Digital Camera With 15x Optical Dual Image Stabilized Zoom In Stock
I was looking for a "prosumer" priced and sized camera with the following features:
1. Uses non-proprietary batteries (this one uses 4 AA batteries)
2. Capable of optical zoom during video recording (this camera does that, but see below)
3. Capable of digital zoom during video recording (this camera does 5.7x digital zoom - if you turn on the digital zoom feature, you can optically zoom before starting the video record, and then zoom digitally another 5.7x from that point forward - optical zoom does not work during the video if digital zoom is turned on)
4. Long zoom (15x - lens range is equivalent to 27.6mm - 414mm on a 35mm camera)
5. HD video mode (1280 x 720 videos, also does regular 640 x 480 and 320 x 240 videos).
Although this camera does do optical zooming during video recording, there are some downsides to this feature. You can hear the little gear motors running during the zoom (I've posted a YouTube video so you can hear the sound - it's audible but not super loud). The focusing in room lighting at maximum zoom is not very accurate. There is no macro mode during video zooming.
The digital image stabilization works well at low zoom, but not as well at high zoom during video recording as it does for still photos (the digital image stabilization works better in stronger light than room lighting, and so this is probably related to the low light focusing problems at high zoom).
At 1280 x 720 resolution, each continuous video recording can only last for about 15 minutes (takes up 848MB-884MB with the MP4 compression).
As for the rest of the camera:
The digital image stabilization works very well for still photos.
The mono audio is pretty good, much better than what has been posted about an equivalent series of Panasonic cameras.
Like all digicams, this one drains alkaline AA batteries quickly (it comes with a set of four alkaline AAs) - use NimH batteries!
The lens comes with a lens cap which is a bit loose. Fortunately there is a strap to attach the cap to the camera. The lens itself does not allow for any lens filter attachments.
Manual mode allows for two aperture settings (f3.5-5.4 to f7-10.8 depending on zoom setting) and speeds from 1/1000 sec to 4s. There is a nice histogram and exposure meter that lets you know how the exposure will turn out (although in my camera, the middle of the meter setting was a bit too light).
The black plastic body feels a bit cheap and flimsy. Would have liked a sturdier aluminum body.
The camera comes from the factory with all the clicks and noises turned on, but you can turn them all off.
There is a good macro and super macro mode (focuses down to 1cm from the lens) for still photos. However, macro mode doesn't seem to work during video recording.
The flash has to be manually popped open - if it isn't, it won't pop itself open and you won't get any flash. However, it is reasonably powerful, and can light up an entire backyard at night from 15-25 feet away.
There's an HDMI plug which I haven't tested yet. The camera body also has a micro USB plug to hook to a standard USB plug to download photos and videos from the camera. This micro USB plug is one step smaller than the mini-USB plug. The cover to these two plugs is rather flimsy.
Lots of other features, which I haven't tested yet. I'm sure others will post in more about this camera
All in all, a nice camera with lots of features.
