CNET Review
The Good: Long 18x optical zoom lens with 27mm-equivalent wide angle; nice manual exposure controls; sensor-shift image stabilization.
The Bad: Sluggish performance; mediocre image quality; no hotshoe; no RAW capture.
The Bottom Line: Fuji's S8000fd 18x megazoom has a nice body design and offers a commendable level of control, but its mediocre image quality and sluggish performance blights what could otherwise be an excellent camera.
