THE GOOD
Long 18x optical zoom lens with 27mm-equivalent wide angle; nice manual exposure controls; sensor-shift image stabilization.

Fuji's 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.

    Have had toe S8000fd for one week. In a word, stunning! The specs are impressive and the performance lives up to the specs. The 18X zoom with dual IS produces great pictures, even hand held. The macro and super macro perform equally well. Using a Sa...  read more »
