Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd Digital Camera Review

by Paul Jasper, PC World

- The Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd offers a host of advanced features at an affordable $400 price, but its biggest strength is the versatile 18X zoom lens. It covers a 35mm film camera's range--specifically, the equivalent of 27mm to 486mm--providing true wide-angle and extreme telephoto capability in a single compact unit. (However, in our roundup of megazooms, the Olympus SP-570 UZ had the greatest range: 26mm to 520mm.)

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Just about every thing about this camera

Weaknesses: sometimes the pictures are blurry for no reason. but....hardly ever....i took a picture of a fast moving object and it came out perfect =]

Overall Evaluation: I got this Camera for Christmas this past year and i must say that I LOVE this Camera! The pictures and videos I take are amazing....but I must say you will have to get used to it. My first picture i took i wanted to cry because it was horrible. It was so so blurry and just horrible, but it got better as I took more pictures. I had to learn this camera before I liked it. I take amazing pictures now. and this is a very tough camera. My sister has knocked it out of my hands 4 times and it still works exactly the same. I love this camera! I don't think I would want another one.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Easy To Use, Excellent Pictures, Great Feel, Super Zoom, Too Many Positives to List.

Weaknesses: One button badly located, Lens cap.

Overall Evaluation: I shopped a lot of different camera models before I settled on the Fuji Finepix S8100fd. I wanted a camera that was point and shoot but was flexible. This camera is very flexible and feature-rich. It is close to a dslr camera without the hassles. The 18x zoom lens is remarkable. I can capture many images without having to change lenses. It has good continuous shooting options. I am very satisfied with this camera. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone that would like an easy to use camera with all the rich features and performance of a more expensive camera. A good buy for the money.
