Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Fujifilm Finepix S8000fd 8MP Digital Camera with 18x Optical Image Stabilization
Customer Review: More than a Point and Shoot
Summary: 5 Stars
This review is for the 8000fd which has been superseded by the 10MP s8100fd, but with the exception of the CCD sensor itself, they are exactly the same. First off let me say that it seems that a lot of the negative reviews concerning this camera are about things other than the camera itself. Filter through those and you will see this is a very good camera. And as for Fuji Customer service, I dropped my camera on the last day of a trip overseas and broke it. I sent it to the Fuji repair center and they promptly exchanged it for a new one. Yes, I had to pay $75, but it was my fault and Fuji was very fast - I had the new one a week later.
As mentioned in the title, this camera is more than a point-and-shoot model. If all you're looking to do is set it on Auto and shoot away, you will get VERY GOOD pictures most of the time, but to really get GREAT photos, you need to delve into the program modes. More complex certainly and if you're not willing to learn then this camera will go under-utilized.
The best feature of this camera is the focal length with the 18x optical zoom. This allows you to frame the photo properly before taking it and not have to crop much afterwards. The result: higher quality photos. YOU can capture scenes with 18x that you can't from most consumer digital cameras, and image stabilization makes it possible to get clear photos.
This camera is positioned at the higher end of the consumer line -appealing to those who want the smaller size and price of a consumer digital camera, but want many of the features found in prosumer models. In that aspect, the s8000fd hits the sweet spot very well. There are a lot of features that will appeal to those looking to be more creative.
I have taken some 500+ photos with this camera and have been very pleased with the results. I have used the photos for enlargements up to 11x14. There is some additional, noise when shooting in lower-light conditions, but the majority of the time this can be componsated for or eliminated by adjusting the camera's flexible exposure settings.
At the risk of being redundant, let me say that this camera has more features than a good 95% of people want or will even take the time to use. But given a chance this is a good camera and since it's been replaced with the 8100fd, it is a great deal at the sub-300 price-point.
This is my second FujiFilm SLR-like camera and I have been pleased with both.

Description of Fujifilm Finepix S8000fd 8MP Digital Camera with 18x Optical Image Stabilization
The Finepix S8000FD Digital Camera appears more as an SLR than a compact camera. It isn't an SLR because, primarily, you can't change lenses. Why would you need to? The Fujinon 18x Optical Zoom provides unprecedented flexibility in a digital-camera. With a 27mm-486mm equivalent, the need for additional zoom or wide angle lenses is gone - this extraordinary lens is all you need. A new feature found on Fuji cameras is the ability to use 3 memory card formats for wider universality. It also uses AA batteries as a power source. AA is readily available around the world. Where ever you travel, that battery type is likely to be available, With audofocus and auto-exposure, it's among the easiest cameras to use. Dual I(mage Stabilization assures sharpness despite unsteady hand movements. Face Detection helps determine proper exposure of people pictures. Ultimately, it's a serious camera for those that want to excercise creativity and freedom in taking great still pictures and movies. It's also lots of fun!
