The Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd is said to be going head to head with the Panasonic FZ18 and Olympus SP560UZ. It is Fuji’s most ambitious zoom compact to date. It is also the first long-zoom camera from Fuji to offer image stabilization (in this case a CCD-shake system) The S8000fd places a smaller sensor behind a much longer-range zoom lens in a less SLR-like body. The FinePix S8000fd has MB internal memory, SD/SDHC memory card (not included) and xD-Picture Card (not inclu…

The Finepix S8000fd represents Fujifilm's best attempt yet to fuse the advantages of compact and DSLR cameras together, rivaling the latest entry-level DSLRs. The likes of the Nikon D40x, Pentax K100D and Canon EOS 400D all offer faster performance and better image quality than the Fujifilm Finepix S8000fd, plus the advantage of RAW mode which is notably missing on the S8000fd. The difference in JPEG image quality at slower ISO speeds isn't that pronounced, but the... Read more

With an 18x zoom, you should be forgiving in other areas. The S8000fd will first and foremost satisfy the photographer looking for a versatile camera instead of extreme image quality. Read more
Fujifilm's FinePix 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 Read more
I purchased this camera 2 years ago and am still very happy with it. It has the feel of an SLR and the configuration of the body makes it very easy to grip for 1 hand shooting. The picture quality is very good although I've found that doing a quick auto fix on a photo editing program really optimizes the photos. It does particularly well in interiors with natural light. I bought the camera because of the adjustable lens length - it goes from a slight wide angle to a... Read more
This review is from: Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd Digital Camera - Black (8.0MP, 18x Optical Zoom) 2.7 inch LCD (Electronics) I've owned a number of cameras over the years and needed something to give the wifey. I've now owned this camera for 18 months and it hasn't missed a beat. For less that £130 this is possibly the best bang for your buck on the market. The camera is solid and sturdy to hold, it has enough weight to ensure that it doesn't wobble when taking quick snaps... Read more
I observed the Fuji FinePix S8000fd is a good super zoom camera that brings a lot to the table. I like the most its features such as 18X zoom lens, CCD-shift image stabilization, full manual controls, effective redeye reduction, and more. I do think that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 is a better overall camera, with its RAW support and superior performance, but the Finepix S8000fd is definitely worth a look. Read more
Up till now, I swore that I would not get rid of my 35mm SLR Zenith and go digital, but after having a demonstration with the S8000fd Digital Camera, I could help feeling out my wallet and purchasing one. Realy easy to use and the zoom is better than any SLR that I've used. The other plus is that I dont have to put up with 36 photos per film, more like 360 photos with the SD card installed, download them to the laptop and carry on. The S8000fd has the same feel as my...
