Fujifilm FinePix F800EXR review – A full-featured compact

Launched in July 2012, the Fujifilm FinePix F800EXR is the latest in a line of cameras from Fuji, featuring an EXRCMOS sensor. Aimed at the upper end of the compact camera market, it offers features suitable for more advanced users and a lens focal range that is the equivalent of a 25-500mm lens in 35mm camera terms.  So is this camera all things to all people?

Samsung EX2F review - Is F1.4 and WiFi enough?

In the compact camera market manufacturers will go a long way to make their product stand out: Carl Zeiss or Leica lenses for instance offer a certain cachet. The Samsung EX2F has several features that make you want to look closer; it has a Schneider Kreuznach lens, with an f1.4 aperture. It has built in WiFi to help you share or back-up your pictures and it is housed in a chassis of magnesium alloy. Are these things enough in this very tough market sector?

Fujifilm XF1 review: Stylish, creative controls and image quality amongst the best compacts

Launched in September 2012 the Fujifilm XF1 is a fixed lens compact aimed at advanced enthusiasts after a pocket-sized second camera for holidays and photo day trips. Featuring customizable function buttons, creative exposure modes and a manual barrel zoom lens with a 25-100mm equivalent focal length, there’s plenty of control for serious photographers to sink their teeth into. What’s more with a 2/3-inch 12-megapixel EXR-CMOS Sensor at its heart we’re optimistic the $499 Fujifilm XF1 will deliver on picture quality, too.

Preview: Fujifilm XF1

Fujifilm’s XF1 adopts a retro design that is frequently being employed by many of the top camera manufacturers. But this pocket-sized point-and-shoot is more of a showstopper – its polished leather-like finish demands attention. Does the XF1 have the sexy technical specs to match its killer good looks? Read DxOMark’s preview to get the skinny on the XF1’s most impressive highlights.

Lens performance for compact cameras

Lenses are often quite weak on compact cameras. However DXOmark publishes score for the sensor only. Is it possible to draw any conclusion from this measurement as to the photographic quality of the camera including the lens ? Do you plan to test the combination of lens and sensor as you do for DSLR ?
Thank you for your reply.

Re: Lens performance for compact cameras

Hello,

Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.

Actually we measured some lenses for compacts (Canon G1X and Sony RX1), but it is not systemically performed (it would take a lot of time and we are not sure that this could be the first priority for our reader).

However we should publish soon an in depth analysis of the Nikon Coolpix A lens for instance...

Best regards,

The DxOMark team

Re: Lens performance for compact cameras

Hello,
Thank you for your reply but I was actually referring to compact cameras with a fixed lens such as Canon G15, Panasonic LX7 or Nikon Coolpix P7700. As the user does not have the choice of lenses, the score and measurement for the sensor only do not help much if the lens is weak.
Since there is only one lens to test for such a camera, I think the workload for your test team would be minimal, and you would please a lot of enthusiasts who like to carry an expert point and shoot compact camera in addition to their DSLR gear.
Best regards.

Re: Lens performance for compact cameras

Hello,
Since I have had no answer to my previous post, I turn it into a question. Maybe I will be more lucky...
Do you plan to test the combination of sensor and lens for Canon G15, Panasonic LX7 or Nikon Coolpix P7700 ?
Thank you for your reply.

Lens performance on Enthusiast Compacts?

Thank you for another useful review. I often refer to your reviews when looking to make a new purchase, particularly for lenses.  I note that DXO generally does not review a lens on compact enthusiast cameras. Most photographers, myself included believe the lens has a larger impact on final image quality than the sensor. I am sure the DXO testing experts would agree that a great sensor provides little value when pared with a dull lens with high distortion, vignetting and  Chr. aberration. Image Quality is very important when comparing enthusiast cameras, please provide lens performance in future reviews.

Thanks

Once again the same repeated arrogance

You don't need to judge what's fair and not. This is so strange you think EXR Modes are cheat or unfair? Even if so, you can keep your combined score and comparison with the standard mode, but  still mention how much DR and ISO performace improves in the respective priority modes.

Let consumers decide what it is ..

Re: Once again the same repeated arrogance

The EXR modes have no effect on the raw sensor data. By combining the data from neighbouring pixels they achieve final output JPEGs with extended DR or lower noise levels, but with half the resolution.
Since DxO analyze undemosaiced (unconverted) raw files, but not JPEGs, their tests cannot take the EXR modes in consideration.

EXR score

"To ensure a fair comparison with sensors from other manufacturers however, DxOMark presents Sensor Scores for the Fujifilm XF1 using a normal exposure mode and not EXR Mode."

Totally unfair, if you ask me. What is the point of testing an EXR sensor in its normal mode? An EXR sensor is capable of delivering better results in its other modes!

Re: EXR score

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.

DxOMark score focuses on the sensor only. In the case of the EXR sensor, both modes available do not change anything on the sensor itself.
If EXR mode is activated, it only underexposes one half of the image. The pixel quality is not impacted. So on a sensor point of view the potential gain in dynamic is compensated by the loss in resolution.
In JPEG, and with a specific algorithm, some potential gain could be observed but we do not evaluate final images here.

Actually there are already discussions opened (and answered) on that topic  ;)

"To ensure a fair comparison with sensors from other manufacturers however, DxOMark presents Sensor Scores for the Fujifilm XF1 using a normal exposure mode and not EXR Mode."

Why not present both scores - with EXR and without - but use traditional scores in comparisons against others? I think it would be fair for the consumers to know what can be achieved with different approaches.

XF1 built-in flash

The statement that the camera does not have a built-in flash is wrong. It is just impossible to attach an external flash.
