Pros:
18x zoom. Good overall image quality. Great body. |
 |
Cons:
A bit noisy. Could really use a dial or wheel controller. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
 |
| 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. |
