The Fujifilm FinePix S3200 is one of Fujifilm's many ultra zoom bridge cameras, and offers a wide angle 24x optical zoom lens, a 14megapixel sensor and manual controls, as well as a black design that looks a lot like an SLR style camera
Fujifilm FinePix S3200 Features


The S3200 is somewhere in the middle of Fujifilm's ultra zoom bridge camera range, which at last count, features a huge 10 different models! The S3200 offers a lot of zoom, with a 24x optical zoom lens, and a large rubberised DSLR style camera for not a lot of money, available for around £155.

With a lot of zoom, a low price, a 14 megapixel CCD sensor with anti-shake, AA batteries, a 3 inch screen, an electronic viewfinder, and a black and rubbery appearance it certainly looks like a serious camera. Manual controls, panoramic shooting, numerous scene modes, and intelligent flash are some of the other features of the S3200, and as with other Fujifilm cameras it can shoot using the "natural light and flash" mode, this shoots without flash then straight away with flash, so you can choose which photo turned out the best.

    Fujifilm FinePix S3200 Handling


    Handling, ergonomics, and buttons - the camera is quite large, larger than some 30x optical zoom cameras, such as the Sony HX100v, even though it has less optical zoom, however the price difference is quite massive between the two. The S3200 uses four AA batteries adding to the weight of the camera. With a large camera, there is a large grip as well as a rubberised surround on the lens aiding steady shots. There are a good number of buttons on the outside of the camera so you shouldn't need to use the menus too much (hopefully).

    Menus - The Fujifilm Finepix S3200 menus are quite straightforward, giving you quick access to a few settings via the F (FinePix) button, and then for additional settings such as white balance / ISO etc you need to enter the photo menu. More advanced camera settings can be found in the setup menu. There are quite a few pages of settings in both the photo and setup menu, and it would be nice if you could access a few more settings in the F / finepix menu.

    Battery life - The camera's battery life is rated at 300 shots according to CIPA standards when using alkaline batteries. Using alkaline AA batteries I was able to take over 380 shots before they went flat, this is good and the ability to put widely available AA batteries in could be a bonus, although rechargeable Ni-Mh batteries are recommended, as this should give 500 shots according to CIPA testing.

    Speed - We tested the Fujifilm FinePix S3200 and compared it to two other recent ultra zooms, theOlympus SZ30MR with 24x optical zoom lens, and the Nikon Coolpix L120.

    Performance was quite slow with slow focusing, particularly at the telephoto end, and the switch on time was noticeably slow at 4.1 seconds. Shot to shot without flash was average matching the competition in the middle, and similarly with flash. Continuous shooting is quite slow, but reasonable for a CCD based camera.
