| Conclusion: |
 |
| For budget consumers and novice shooters, the Fujifilm Finepix S2000HD might be a nice set of training wheels for a more advanced camera. While the S2000HD offers sufficient manual controls and Scene modes, the image quality just couldn’t keep up. Whether it was noise, blue haloing or a lack of sharpness, the S2000HD produced images that left us wanting more. The camera handles like a miniature DSLR and is solidly constructed. The HD video quality is also better than most cameras that use Motion JPEG video recording. For under $300, the Finepix S2000HD offers a lot more than most cameras in its class and it’s certainly a great tool to learn on. Even so, advanced shooters and those who place image quality at the forefront will most likely not be interested in the Finepix S2000HD. |
