Very Nice For The Price

Author:
I have had this camera for about a year and it is my 'Carry With Me All The TIme' camera when I don't want to take one of my 2 dSLRs.

The camera is a good value for the original price ($150 I think it was) and would be a steal at a used price under $100.

The ISO performance is really good up to 400, decent at 800 and useable at 1600. The default colors are a little drab out of the camera but with a little tweaking to white balance settings or using the FujiChrome setting in some cases (or in post processing, of course) they can be made better.

This is a basic point and shoot, though, don't expect manual control or a bunch of options to fiddle with.

It is metal and feels pretty solid. Nice size and operation. If you are a real photo buff, it probably wouldn't satisfy as your only camera but would make a nice compact...especially for dSLR users who are used to being able to stray from ISO 100 or 200 and not experience a lot of noise.

  • Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd 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. originally on: CNet R. | Read full review
