Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd

Wow! That’s what people usually say when they hear about the power of the Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd. Why shouldn’t they wow at this camera when it’s got one of the most powerful lenses available on a digital camera today.

The S8000fd comes equipped with an 18X optical zoom lens which is just an insane amount of zoom, and with its other features such as dual image stabilization this camera basically stands in a class of its own.

When people go shopping for a digital camera, with all that’s available, they always have their own distinct reasons for what they’re looking for and why. Many people want a small point and shoot camera that just as simple as it gets and extremely portable. Others want power for shooting at events such as concerts, sports events (either pro or simply for their kids Saturday game), and even wildlife shots – where there is plenty of stuff to get into your way of focus, and being able to zoom in extremely tight to grab a rare shot is extremely beneficial.

For the latter class of people, this is the camera for them. The chief feature of course that will impress those people is the, a 27mm wide-angle to 486mm super telephoto (35mm equivalent) 18x zoom lens – which happens to be quite hard to find on an SLR. With this power, plus the even more extreme power of the amazing 91.8x magnification of with the digital zoom, you’re digital photography capabilities will have more flexibility than ever before.

On top of that, you get the added benefit of the recently introduced CCD Shift Image Stabilization, which helps the camera detect, automatically, for camera shake. Now stack on Fujifilm’s highly praised Picture Stabilization mode and you get a dynamic camera like no other. With this mode the camera uses high sensitivity (ISO 1600 at 100% resolution or an astonishing ISO 6400 at 50% resolution) in order to freeze the action your shooting and deliver clear, sharp shots in even low lighting conditions.

This Dual Image Stabilization technology gives you the photographer a consistency in high quality shots that are well-focused, crisp and clean, and virtually blur free.

Now this all works in conjunction with the high resolution 8megapixel CCD which captures detail enough for a photo-quality 16 x 22-inch print. This means that even those tightest shots that you’ve grabbed from long distances will come out sharp as ever, with all the brilliant colors that are true to that of nature.

Okay, so you’re thinking that this camera probably couldn’t get any better right? Well, you’re wrong. The Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd brings you the highly intelligent Fujifilm Face Detection technology. What this does for you is dramatically improve your photos by identifying the faces of your human subjects within in your frames – as much as 10 face in any one shot – and will quickly and automatically (real time) establish the greatest focus and exposure setting in order to get the best possible photo…regardless of the shooting condition.

When it comes down to reviewing and even sharing your images, the big 2.5 inch LCD screen makes doing so a pleasure. With a high resolution from utilizing the 230,000 pixels either on the LCD screen or the equally high resolution view finder, you’ll be able to pre-frame shots, review shots, and jump through menu modes easily with crystal clarity.

When all’s said and done the Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd is an ultra powerful camera that is tough to be beat by any standards, and remarkably at a tremendous price tag that won’t break the bank. If you’re ready to invest in a worthy camera that will produce tremendous results, then you must do.
