FujiFilm JV200 Sports Photography Detailed Analysis
Slow Continuous Shooting: 1.0fps

In the world of sports photography, faster is always better.

Environmental Sealings

Most outdoor sports games are held in all-weather, so your camera has to be ready for difficult conditions such as rain and snow. Exposure to dust and water splashes are also very common in sports.

Slow Max shutter speed: 1/1400s

FujiFilm JV200's max shutter speed of 1/1400s is quite slow and it may not be enough to freeze the motion in some cases. Another potential problem may be when you use a fast aperture at very strong light, your camera may overexpose because of slow max shutter speed

Focus Points

In sports photography , you keep continuous autofocus (AFC) mode on for tracking the subject and more focus means better tracking.

Poor Battery Life: 180 shots

In most sports events, you shoot at high speed for a long time and this drains the battery pretty quick. With a battery life of only 180 shots per charge, you may need to change batteries very frequently in the middle of an event.

Not so good Ergonomics&Handling

FujiFilm JV200\s compact body is not very ideal for sports photography as it lacks the external dials and knobs to change the camera settings fast and the ergonomics doesn't help you to have the most stable shooting position.

No Manual Exposure Mode

Even though modern digital cameras features advanced algorithms to calculate the right exposure, they still may fail some difficult conditions. Lack of manual exposure mode in these conditions means lot of shadow and highlight clipping.

No Manual Focus Mode

Compact cameras are not great at focusing moving objects especially at low light and your camera may not even fire bacause of not locking the focus, so manual focus mode is very useful at these times.

No Built-in Viewfinder

In the lack of a a viewfinder, holding the camera away from the body while using live view is not very stable, especial with heavy camera bodies and lenses. Besides, LCD screens are very hard to read under bright sunlight.

No External Flash Shoe

When shooting indoor sports or outdoor sports at low light, an external flash may become very helpful.

No Image Stabilization

Lack of Image stabilization may result in blurry photos especially at long focal lengths.

108 mm Tele Lens

108 mm reach will not be adequate in many sports events.

No RAW shooting capability

RAW files contains much more color information compared to JPEGs, and gives you more room for post processing without significant quality loss. They provide wider dynamic range and option to recover shadow and highlight clipping to some degree.
