The FinePix F600EXR is another in what is becoming a very long line of Fujifilm compact megazooms featuring the company's unique EXR CMOS sensor design and EXR image processor. The F600EXR was the third it released for 2011, and in January 2012, Fujifilm announced three more. The EXR sensor is designed to improve dynamic range and low-light performance and, as with past EXR models, it works, at least compared with your average point-and-shoot camera.

The Good

The <b>Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR</b> has a lot of shooting options for both photos and movies and it has a comfortable, nice-looking design.

The Bad

The F600EXR isn't the easiest camera to use, the GPS quickly drains battery life, and it's not always the fastest camera.

The Bottom Line

The Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR is loaded with features, but getting the best results takes some menu digging and patience.

However, as I will go on to mention several times in this review, this is more than just a simple point-and-shoot and has a lot of modes and settings to explore. It may require some patience and experimentation to get the best photos.
