"This camera is CRAZY!!!!" on by paulndyment
Pros: Face recognition 2.0 (Automatic red eye removal *new feature) , Dual Image stablization, 18x zoom & wide angle in same packaged lens, Super macro.
Cons: It isn't 12 MP... oh well, the 18x zoom makes up for it.
Summary: If you like maximum control with the option of being lazy sometimes, buy this camera, you won't regret it.
I had the Fuji s7000 for years until I dropped it and I could only take video. The s7000 took the best pictures... the manual settings allowed for some incredible shots. Super macro is what got me into photography in the first place, and the vibrant colors that you get with Fuji is incomparable.
Face detect 2.0 with automatic red eye removal. Most cameras have red eye removal but it is manual. If you want the red eyed version the camera keeps the flawed version "just-in-case."(technology is really coming along)
18x zoom... 5.1x digital zoom... total zoom power = 91.8 zoom capability built in. (Just don't let it get in the hands of a peeping tom.)
Blurry photos with zoom??? Not a problem, dual-image stabilization, it corrects the shaking of your hands and the motions of your subject.
Real photo technology... No more washed out flash photography. Fuji has this awesome feature that you need to see to believe. I hated flashes until they came up with this.
Bottom line... Worth every penny. -
"Great Except For One Design Flaw" on by barry_dfw
Pros: Amazing Zoom Quality,User Friendly,Sharp Pics
Cons: Flimsy USB Port Door, That's All
Summary: Two months ago I purchased the Fuji S700 camera
and liked it so much, I almost bought another one until I saw the S8000FD at only $45.00 more.I just got it today and am truly amazed at how sharp the zoom pics are at full 18X mode. Close ups in macro mode are just as impressive.I put memory cards in the slots on my computer but if you hook up the camera's USB port connection, be careful, the door has a feeling like it's about to break off. Perfect camera for any setting.They should not call this one a "point and shoot" -
"Excellent Camera - Does IT All!" on by kirkmerritt
Pros: Like a DSLR and 3 lenses in one compact package
Cons: Some design flaws
Summary: 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 Sandisk 2GB ExtremeIII the shots are processed very quickly. Bottom line, this camera does what an $800 DSLR + a $1600 zoom + a $600 macro (=$3000) will do $2600 less! The control features are very good and intuitive. The picture quality is great with very natural color saturation.
Fuji's design engineering fell down in a few places. The connection "door" feels cheep, the battery access door isn't easy to use and the camera won't accept filters. This is my 3rd digital camera and, so far, great. -
"Gives good pictures when You become familiar with it." on by alhamn
Pros: Picture and video as good as the other superzooms. Eternal battery life
Cons: No zoom in video. Flash overexpose when auto+close object.. Exposure and focus measure in center when auto. Takes time to get used to. No zoom when video.
Summary: The Editors rewiev is full of faults. I found about 5 wrong in facts (for instance is the sensor bigger than in Panasonic FZ18) and lot of dubious opinions. Some critics mean that S8000fd don´t give sharp pictures. I you want sharp, just press a button for sharp. Normal is soft. Which I prefer i 90% of my pictures. Since the My rating means not that this is one the best cameras on the market. But for the price, I think it is one of the absolutely best. (Excuse of spelling. I´m Swedish)

"If you like to zoom when taking a vid dont buy this 1" on by chrisjdoran
Pros: It is a great photo cam, great zoom.
Cons: When recording video footage, which was the selling point, able to take vids and pics, YOU CANT ZOOM IN ONCE YOU ARE RECORDING!!!!!
Summary: What were fuji thinking of when they made this cam, i mean it is useless as a video recorder if you are stuck in one zoom setting, zoomed in or zoomed out, you cant zoom while your recording, is it just my cam????????
