Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd Digital Camera

The FinePix S8000fd is perfect for enthusiasts looking for a combination of 8 megapixels and stabilized long zoom in a neat, compact body. The S8000fd delivers one key feature that consumers cannot easily get on an SLR, a 27mm wide-angle to 486mm super telephoto (35mm equivalent) 18x zoom lens.

Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd Professional Reviews:

• cnet reviews has reviewed the Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd and given out”The good: Long 18x optical zoom lens with 27mm-equivalent wide angle; nice manual exposure controls; sensor-shift image stabilization. The bad: Sluggish performance; mediocre image quality; no hotshoe; no RAW capture. The bottom line: Fuji’s S8000fd 18x megazoom has a nice body design and offers a commendable level of control, but its mediocre image quality and sluggish performance blights what could otherwise be an excellent camera.”

• TrustedReviews has reviewed the Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd and given out” The Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd is a very sophisticated and immensely versatile camera for all types of photography, with enough features to make up for a slight lack in total image quality. It has superb handling, very good performance and excellent build quality, and while it may not have the semi-pro credentials of the S9600 is it is still a good hobbyists camera. For a price of under £200 it is a real bargain that will not disappoint. ”

• PCmag has reviewed the Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd and given out”Bottom Line:The Fujifilm S8000fd is an affordable option for photographers who want advanced features and manual controls, but also like the simplicity of a one-lens-fits-all camera. Pros:Affordable. Sturdy design. Excellent 18X zoom lens. Effective image stabilization. Can capture movies. Cons:Dual image stabilization creates some image noise. Some shutter lag. No RAW file support.”

• cameralabs has reviewed the Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd and given out”So while the FinePix S8000fd is a fine super-zoom camera, we’d say there’s better overall models available for the around same money. As mentioned earlier, we can still award the S8000fd our Recommended rating, but in this category the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 remains our best buy. So unless you prefer the look and feel of the Fujifilm or its AA-powered operation, we’d strongly advise a close comparison against the competition.”
