Heavy fringing, Oversaturation, Plasticky build quality
When it comes to purchasing a bridge camera, there are several things that normally seal the deal. Lugging around a DSLR and a range of lenses is not always convenient or preferable, so DSLR functionality accompanied by a wide zoom range and combined i...
Abstract: The Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd may be an enhanced digital camera with a megazoom onboard, but the competition is strong and cannot be ignored. And that’s the problem. Working with the Fujifilm S8000fd camera is pleasant in itself, although I cannot ge...
Excellent 18x zoom lens, good button placement, color-rich images
No RAW support, option-less video mode
We had high hopes for the S8000fd; it simply looked nicer than the other superzooms weve tested. The lens was great, the zoom impressive and the design well thought-out (we love Fujifilms xD/SD card reader), but features-wise, it just didnt stand ...

Abstract: Fujifilm has joined the wide-angle, long zoom arena with the introduction of the FinePix S8000fd. The 8-MegaPixel, SLR-styled camera features one of the largest optical zooms on a fixed-lens camera in the industry, and introduces Fujifilms latest Dua...

High distortion and chromatic aberration (Somewhat typical of the long-zoom class, but still higher than average)
Corners are soft at telephoto
Noisy above ISO 400, blurred by heavy noise reduction
No RAW mode
A little too much chrome and silver (A matter...
Like the Olympus SP-560 UZ and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18, the Fujifilm S8000fd is an ultra-long zoom with an 18x optical zoom range and an 8.0-megapixel sensor. But Fujfilm has added a lot of value to the ultra long zoom with the S8000fd. I particularl...
Phenomenal zoom range that includes real wide-angle to long telephoto capability, Versatile, fun and easy to use package, Good range of features, Bright, punchy consumer friendly output, Good detail and color at lower ISO settings, Generally accurate and...
Strong purple fringing and chromatic aberration and at long end of zoom, Slight corner softness at shorter focal lengths, JPEGs a little soft and slightly over-sharpened, can look a little over-processed, Shortest focus distance (without using macro mode)...
Like the other 18x zoom / 8MP cameras on the market the FinePix S8000fd is a camera that tries to be all things to all men, and in some respects it succeeds, in others it shows the limitations of current compact camera technology in a very stark manne...

Long 18x optical zoom lens with 27mm-equivalent wide angle; nice manual exposure controls; sensor-shift image stabilization.
Sluggish performance; mediocre image quality; no hotshoe; no RAW capture.
Fujis 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.
Abstract: OK everyone, you can stop emailing me; it's here at last, the much-requested review of the Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd. I've had more enquiries about this camera than anything else in the last few months. If everyone who's asked me about it buys one, I think...
