Hands-on with the Fujifilm Finepix S8100fd ultrazoom cameraBy Matthew Ruiz, 1 February 2008
The s8100fd may be a solid camera, but with minimal difference from its predecessor, we're not sure if FujiFilm should have bothered.

FujiFilm FinePix S8100fd Specs »  Gallery »
FujiFilm FinePix S8100fd The Fujifilm S8100fd offers great image quality, a comfortably molded body and excellent manual controls. In future revisions, we'd like to see a dial for controlling shutter and f-stop settings, and it'd be nice if the camera were outfitted with a Li-ion battery instead of being tethered to double As. That said, nothing particular about the Fujifilm S8100fd stands out as bad, and quite a bit stands out as good, thus making it a solid choice for those looking for a fixed-lens with plenty of zoom. Release: March 2008. Price: $360.
Pros: 18x zoom. Good overall image quality. Great body.
Cons: A bit noisy. Could really use a dial or wheel controller.
