What You Should Know about the FinePix S8100fd

Larger-Than-Average Optical Zoom Range

The optical zoom range on this camera is sufficiently broad to give you considerable creative control. Your options extend from individual portraits to group shots to wide-angle landscapes. Most point-and-shoots offer a focal length range that’s roughly equivalent to 35mm to 105mm on a 35mm film camera. At the wide end (the 35mm, in this case), they shoot a bit wider than what you see with your eye. At the telephoto end (the 105mm, in this case), they can zoom in a good deal closer than you’d be able to with the naked eye.

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.

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.
