Fujifilm Finepix F200 EXR Review
Fuji FinePix F200 EXR - HR vs. SN mode @ ISO 800
Here we compare the F200's two EXR modes - the full 12 MP resolution 'HR' mode and the pixel-binned, 6MP 'SN' mode. As we climb up through the ISO range, the benefits of the combined-pixel mode should start to become apparent. Looking at the two, side-by-side should allow us to establish which we should use to compare with other cameras.
None of the EXR modes allows control over the aperture and under our studio lighting has selected F12. However because the F200 achieves this through the use of a slightly reduced aperture and ND filter to achieve the exposure equivalent to F12, rather than a tiny physical aperture, it won't be suffering unduly from diffraction effects.

Here's how the camera performs at ISO 800 in its full resolution 'HR' mode and its pixel-binned 'SN' mode. The 6MP version is not only cleaner (which the 12MP image might match if it were downsized to 6MP), but also fractionally more detailed, which no amount of resizing would recover from the HR image. So this suggests that the benefits of SN mode are slight. But how does it compare against other cameras?
