Fuji S 100 or Fuji S205, who knows?

My own opinion, the answer is as follows, I hope it will help LZ:

EXR is 1. S205 said it was an upgraded version, which was largely a gimmick. Strictly speaking, the picture quality of S 100 is better than that of S205 for the simple reason that the CCD (photosensitive element) of S 100 is larger.

2. It's really that small. The picture quality of S 100 is really better than that of S205, but has anyone really analyzed it pixel by pixel? It's just theoretical. It's hard to tell the difference with the naked eye. The key is to look at the head behind the glass head

There is still a difference between 3.28mm and 30.5 mm, which can be seen with the naked eye. Although the difference is only 2mm, the viewing angle is quite different.

Flip screen of 4.4. S 100 ... talk is better than nothing. This is feasible in some cases. But when I use S205, I seldom take pictures with LCD.

EXR mode of 5.5. S205 is helpful for lazy people and novices, and it's ok to play with it as a toy. I don't think anyone with a little basic photography can use EXR mode. So it is not practical.

Basically, you are right about the difference between the two machines. They all look the same. Many people say that S205 is a reduced version of S 100, while others say that it is composed of the rest of S 100. I agree in part.

S205 has no HD, but it's better than nothing.

"Macro shooting emphasizes the blurring of the main background, telephoto picks up the scenery where people can't reach, and wide-angle large-scale landscape shooting is more interested."

S205 can basically meet all your above requirements. However, it may be necessary to match some extra mirrors, such as close-ups and extended-range lenses. Overall, the price/performance ratio of S205 is good. If you are determined not to use SLR, then choose SLR.

Friendly reminder: The snowflakes in S205 are real, and most of them are there. Although the impact is not too serious, we should be prepared psychologically.
