Fujifilm Finepix S8100
Fujifilm Finepix S8100 Reviews: With the 18x zoom lens, you can do almost everything you want. I have taken couple shots with the 18x, very details, but your hand need to be very steady, even with the stablize function on. This is normal however. The only thing which is weak on this machine is the video, you can’t zoom during video is taking. The new Nikon P80 can zoom. Many other brand offer the zooming in video taking like the Panasonic, and canon. Other than that, if you are a part time pro, it is more than enough, face recognization, M, P, S priority, you name it, it has it. Saving picture is a little slow. i haven’t printed any pic yet, but will soon. Size and wt is pretty much the same compare to the the Nikon P80, Panasonic, Olympus. these are the only 4 brands having 18x zoom camera.
Fujifilm Finepix S8100 Reviews: Was considering upgrading to a D-SLR type camera from my typical point-and-shoot camera, but I have to admit I was intimidated by price and complexity. I found the Fujifilm S8100fd to be the perfect blend of advanced features, price and complexity level. I wanted something that had a good telephoto/zoom lens and this one is awesome. The stability really helps keep things from being blurry and the advanced modes are really cool. This camera helps me take better pictures in almost any scenario. Add in an 8GB SDHC card and you have the ability to store thousands of photos and hours of video.

Fujifilm Finepix S8100 Reviews: I’ve used Fuji products for many years. I’ve had an S7000 for several years and love it but wanted the added zoom and megs. The S8100fd is lighter, well laid out, and does all that I want in a camera. I was a professional photographer about thirty years ago but left that career to work for Fuji for about six years. I started using Fuji products at that time and haven’t stopped. I was hooked on both their film and cameras. Fuji continues to make great inovative products.
The biggest ne
gative on the S8100 is the sharpness on the rear screen when reviewing pictures. You really can’t get a confident feel for the quality of what you just shot until you review it on the computer. My S7000’s screen is much better. I also can’t get used to the speed control for the zoom. It is too quick for precise adjustments. Other than that, it is the most camera for the money right now and I love the wide angle to tele opticals. The pictures have been sharp and well balanced for color and contrast.
Fujifilm Finepix S8100 Reviews: I did a lot of research online before buying this camera. So far, I just love it! I have to take a lot of pictures in low light without a flash and this camera is really coming through for me in those conditions.
Fujifilm Finepix S8100 Reviews: I use this camera for taking pictures at soccer matches. The camera is easy to use and takes very good action shots. I am pleased with the performance.
