It features a 12-megapixel, 1/1.6" EXR sensor, Fujifilm's 9th generation of Super CCD, first seen in F200EXR, and uses same body and lens as FinePix S100fs.
Unlike other bridge cameras at the time, the S200EXR featured a manual-twist zoom lens similar to that of an actual DSLR.
The lens features a fly-by-wire focus ring which is situated closest to the camera's body.
The S200EXR is powered by a proprietary lithium-ion battery which is supplied with the camera as well as a neck strap and lens cap.
Optional accessories were a bayonet-type lens hood with an opening for turning polarized filters, an AC power adapter, and remote release.
The S200EXR can record video at a maximum resolution of 640×480 at 30 fps with mono sound in .avi format.
The owners manual states that the camera can be awakened from sleep by pressing the "play" button for about a second.
