Customer Reviews:
- You get your money's worth: I've used Fuji products for many years. I've had an S7000 for several years and love it but wanted the added zoom and megs. The S8100fd is lighter, well laid out, and does all that I want in a camera. I was a professional photographer about thirty years ago but left that career to work for Fuji for about six years. I started using Fuji products at that time (employee discount!) and haven't stopped. I was hooked on both their film and cameras. Fuji continues to make great inovative products. The biggest negative on the S8100fd is the sharpness on the rear screen when reviewing pictures. You really can't get a confident feel for the quality of what you just shot until you review it on the computer. My S7000's screen is much better. I also can't get used to the speed control for the zoom. It is too quick for precise adjustments. Other than that, it is the most camera for the money right now and I love the wide angle to tele opticals. The pictures have been sharp and well balanced for color and contrast.
- big mistake: Image sensor has a lot of noise.
Zoom works fine, but plastic can not hold optics properly centered and image is not sharp (out of focus).
It is a big step back in quality from older products.
Do NOT recommend. - Great features, a great option if you don't want a D-SLR: Was considering upgrading to a D-SLR type camera from my typical point-and-shoot camera, but I have to admit I was intimidated by price and complexity. I found the Fujifilm S8100fd to be the perfect blend of advanced features, price and complexity level. I wanted something that had a good telephoto/zoom lens and this one is awesome. The stability really helps keep things from being blurry and the advanced modes (multi-shot, movie, flash and no flash at same time [sounds odd, read the manual]) are really cool. This camera helps me take better pictures in almost any scenario. Add in an 8GB SDHC card and you have the ability to store thousands of photos and hours of video. Love this camera!
- Fujifilm Finepix S8100fd Digital Camera: I use this camera for taking pictures at soccer matches. The camera is easy to use and takes very good action shots. I am pleased with the performance.
- Love the Camera: I've had the camera for about a month now. I would consider myself a very amateur photographer. But I love this camera. It's more than a point and shoot but not quite a DSLR, I'd call it an advanced Digital camera. It can be used as a point and shoot but I think as your experience grows with the camera, the functionality and use of the camera becomes one of its greatest strengths.
The only con I have is minor. The face detection function doesn't seem to trigger as often as I think it would (considering 90% of my photos are of my baby son) and often the detection picks up things that aren't . . . well faces.
Other than this, it's a great camera. Even the video capture is impressive. Highly recommended to those who want more than a point and shoot but don't want to commit to the more expensive DSLR cameras.
