A few months later, the F70 EXR, which is now replaced by the third EXR generation, followed by the F80 EXR with 10x zoom (27 to 270 mm KB equivalent) for 250 euros. It provides a mechanical image stabilizer, timekeeping and manual mode, but does not have flash light correction or control for sharpness, contrast and color saturation. Compared to the predecessor F70, it has a larger monitor (3 inches), an additional micro HDMI interface for the HDTV and a higher video resolution (1280 x 720 pixels).
The EXR principle
The F80 has inherited the Pro-Lowlight function, which allows you to take several 6-megapixel photos at high light sensitivity, making them a smoother image, and "pro-focus" with which you can sharpen the depth of focus with multiple differently focused shots Reduced
Image quality in standard mode
The Super CCD EXR sensor works with a special pixel structure: two pixels each with the same color or color sensitivity are located next to one another and can be combined to form larger, more light-sensitive pixels (pixel binning) if the image noise is to be reduced in low ambient light ( SN).
The EXR modes
Alternatively, the uniformly colored pixels can be separately controlled so that they simultaneously capture two images with different exposure times, which are computed to a better dynamic image (DR). SN and DR modes are connected to a reduced resolution. In the third EXR mode "HR" it is about getting the maximum resolution from the 12-megapixel sensor. If you want, you can use EXR Auto to decide which of the three EXR modes is the right one.
Handling
Our reviews (large table) are based on the automatic program in which the F80 reaches a resolution of 855 to 1218 LP / BH (ISO 100) or 948 to 1124 LP / BH (ISO 400) - okay. The same applies to the Z700, which, however, is capable of displaying the higher object contrast, the F80 falling back from ISO 400 with only 6.7 apertures.
Guide: How modern lenses work
Compared to other compact cameras, the noise is moderate (1.2 to 2.0 VN). However, this is at the expense of fine-tuning (Kurtosis 1.1 / 1.4 for F80 and 1.1 / 1.6 for Z700). In addition, we found a pronounced chromatic aberration at the wide angle, leading to 1.3 pixel wide color fringing.
Standard and high-resolution modes do not give much. The resolution can be increased only minimally by HR, whereby this plus with a weaker dynamic is bought: The object contrast with ISO 100 sacks in the HR mode opposite the program automatics by a full aperture. SN is supposed to lower the noise, in reality it brings a visibly better texture and an object contrast that adds a full aperture. In this respect, the low-noise mode cuts as well as the special dynamic mode DR in position 100, even with 9.7 stops.
If you select the strongest DR stage 800, there is a dynamic plus of approx. 2 f-stops (ISO 200) as well, compared to the noise reduction mode. However, noise is also increased and ISO 100 is not available. Obviously, Fuji uses the noisier SN signal to make the noise filter weaker and to get more texture - with advantages also for the dynamics. Since the cameras do not exploit the full resolution at SN and DR, they are at a disadvantage with values below 1000 LP / BH.
With the Z700, all settings are made by touching the monitor, which reliably and relatively promptly responds. If you're not used to touch screens, the F80 is probably better. Your 3-inch display also shows a coherent, neat preview. There is also a separate dial dial, which allows you to switch directly to the EXR modes. In the test, the AF system of the F80 worked more reliably and faster. The Z700 needed 1.1 s at the telephoto to focus and release.
