Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Fujifilm's SLR-style FinePix S3200 digital camera delivers 14 megapixels, a FUJINON 24x zoom lens, and dual image stabilization. It also features a large 3-inch LCD and Electronic Viewfinder, plus a number of image and social features allowing enthusiasts and professionals alike the ability to capture crisp, clear shots up-close, wide and far away.
Fujifilm FinePix S3200 Highlights
24x FUJINON Zoom Lens and Dual Image Stabilization
The FinePix S3200 boasts a super-wide 24x zoom with a 24mm-576mm optical lens in a simple-to-operate zoom lever, allowing a huge range to capture every detail, whether shooting stills or movies. With the combination of the mechanically stabilized sensor and high ISO, blurring effects of both hand-shake and subject movement are reduced to provide superb pictures.
The FinePix S3200 also includes a Dual-Image Stabilization CCD sensor and high ISO sensitivity settings for blur-free images.
Stunning Panoramic Shots
The FinePix S3200 features the easy-to-use Motion Panorama shooting mode, which takes three successive shots with a helpful tool which automatically releases the shutter once the images are fully aligned to seamlessly stitch the shots together in-camera. No matter how basic the photographer's skill, this feature allows users to get creative and see impressive results with no fear of uneven landscapes or shaky horizons.
HD Movie Capture
Capture stunning movies in 720p with sound at 30 frames per second with one touch ease. With a mini-HDMI output connector, it is easy to connect and view images on your HDTV (HDMI cable not included).
Perfect Pictures Every Time with Smile and Blink Detection
Smile Detection recognizes the moment your subject smiles and releases the shutter only when this happens, ensuring a happy photo every time. Additionally the Blink Detection function warns you if any of your subjects have blinked so that you can re-take the photo if necessary.
Face Recognition and Image Searching
With Face Recognition on the FinePix S3200, users can tag and name eight of their favorite subjects and the camera will automatically recognize that person in every photo taken thereafter. In turn this allows you to search for all your pictures of any of these people, by name, using the Image Search function. Image Search makes finding the people and places you've photographed easy to categorize and find.
This works in the same way for other categories of photo: the camera's SR Auto Scene Recognition technology registers whether you've taken a picture of a person, or a landscape, or if it's a night shot or macro shot, so you can filter your search by subject matter or even date and get straight to the photo you are after, quickly and intuitively.
Social Networking and Photo book Features
The FinePix S3200 offers in-camera tagging capabilities for both Facebook and YouTube, allowing you to select photos and movies for upload on either of the sites, making for easy upload once you connect to a PC and launch MyFinePix Studio. The feature saves you time and enables you to share your special moments with your closest social network.
The S3200 also allows you to tag in-camera the images you want to feature in a Photo book, which can be viewed separately in-camera and later created and ordered in a Photo book quickly and seamlessly.
Additional Features
- Tracking Auto Focus (AF): Tracks fast moving subjects so they don't escape from the frame in a blur. Subjects will be tracked automatically for as long as it is kept in the frame and the shutter is half-pressed; when users fully press the shutter button your subject will be in the centre of the photo in perfect focus.
- i-Flash Intelligent Flash: Offers a flash control system which efficiently controls the level of flash for a given exposure to produce beautifully balanced flash illumination across the foreground and background. Gone are the ugly washout shots where the subject is blasted with light and the background dark and unexposed.
- Full Manual Controls: Gives the user the choice of direct access to manually control the settings and shooting features, and the specially designed chassis includes dedicated command buttons for quick and easy key functions.
- Instant Zoom/Zoom Bracketing: Useful for high level photography. The Instant Zoom function captures moving subjects at high zoom settings. After zooming on a subject, a single button gives an additional 1.4x or 2x digital zoom. Zoom Bracketing automatically captures the same image three times with zoom ratio settings of 1x, 1.4x and 2x with a single shutter release.
- Continuous Shooting: Allows up to 8 fps for 20 frames in S mode.
- AA-Battery Power: Using AA batteries is convenient for on-the-go digital camera users as it eliminates the need to charge battery packs, allowing for lots of picture-taking and the ease of battery replacement.

Customer Reviews
The S3200 has a DSLR style body that is very comfortable to hold on to. This camera has a 14MP CCD sensor, an excellent 24x zoom(24-576mm equivalent on a 35mm camera), A very nice 3" LCD, Electronic Viewfinder, 720p video and ISO up to 6400(not that you really want to use it, more on that later)
Ergonomics / Ease of Use:
The menu system on the Finepix cameras are very nice and the buttons on the S3200 are nicely placed. It has a nice grip around the lens and it would have been nice if that could have been incorporated as a zoom ring.
Image Quality:
From ISO 64-200, the pictures are very sharp with excellent color. From ISO 400-800, the pictures are still sharp with nice color but signs of noise and the effects of noise reduction are noticeable if you start to pixel peep. I would say these shots certainly are still capable of being printed at 5x7 and being used on the web with no issues.
ISO 1600 - ISO 6400(ISO 3200 and 6400 can only be used with reduced MP resolution) I would only use this to make sure I could get the shot if that was the only option due to discoloration, smearing and loss of detail. This is very common across all smaller sensor cameras.
Conclusion:
This is an excellent bridge camera that takes sharp pictures with nice color. I would highly recommend this camera to friends and family, the key litmus test in my mind

Positives:
24x Zoom - Nice color - Sharp images - Great Battery Life.
Negatives:
Noisy and loss of detail at higher ISO settings
The zoom is great for this price range. You can use the view finder or the nice sizable screen. I find the view finder much easier in centering my subjects. I enjoyed the 4-AA batteries and gives me the assurance my camera won't die without having to recharge a lithium type battery.
The size is manageable. You cannot stick it in your pocket naturally but it is not really that bulky.
In my limited use, the clarity of photos have been nothing short of perfect clear shots. I'm still learning all the features packed in this well priced camera and look forward to seeing what all it can really do.
I'm not a big camera buff. I found the camera quite easy to use though had a little trouble in the on/off switch. I was holding it over too long and learned it takes just a quick flip to start it.
