    CNET Review

    November 19, 2007

    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.

    Review Summary: The Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd really is a jack-of-all-trades. With iffy battery life, and underpowered flash, and a questionable lens cape, it's not perfect. But it can do almost anything you want it to. While not my cup of tea for a compact sports ...
