Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd

10 Megapixels   18X zoom lens   2.5 inch LCD

The Fujifilm S8100fd is one of the slightest obtrusive ultrazoom compacts we've seen. While turned off, it could simply be slipped into a purse, rucksack or still a jacket pocket, and its light sufficient to be comfortably ported. Granted, things alter at full-zoom, at which the lens extends a fine two inches out of the homing, however this is comprehensible considering the S8100fd's 18x magnification.

The button layout is extremely well designed and beautiful, by plenty of control over the digital camera's menus. There's a filled mode-wheel in more to shortcuts pro anything from image stabilization to flash, and Fujfilm has once more included their intuitive 'function' button, which gives direct access to exposure settings. A dial or a control wheel would have been very well; particularly thinking the S8100fd's manual functionality, other than overall the camera's control scheme strikes a good equilibrium between power and ease of use.

The Fujifilm S8100fd is actually boosted with the plush rubber padding decorate both the hand-grip and the thumb-hold on the rear. Rubber not merely avoids a camera from slipping out of your hands, it as well simply makes it feel easier during prolonged use, and the S8100fd's high-class padding is excellent. As forever, we moreover liked the inclusion of a twist-control pro zooming, though we were less than thrilled by the tiny, aliased image in the electronic viewfinder.

Features

The Fujifilm S8100fd is a fleshed-out compressed, above and beyond its noteworthy zoom capability. The digital camera packs sensor-shift image-stabilization, burst and incessant shooting modes, and most decent 58-megabytes of interior memory (sufficient pro ~11 shots at highest quality). Face detection is furthermore present and coupled to red-eye removal, and the digital camera features a 'zoom-bracketing' mode that more make simpler portraiture through mechanically taking a photo at 1x, 1.4 xs and 2x zoom. No astonish that this is accomplished via digital cropping although, so zoom-bracketing is best left idle. Extreme better is the exposure bracketing function, which takes three colorful photos at either a 1/3, 2/3 or a 1 EV discrepancy.

The manual-mode allows independent options of shutter speeds and f-stops, and dissimilar most compacts, the S8100fd has absloutely right variable-aperture through a full range of stops from 2.8 – 8. Close speeds are less impressive, ranging merely since 4 – 1/2000 seconds. Four seconds is far also short pro the longest shutter, not to mention the absolute lack of bulb support, which damages the digital camera's generally usability: even through a tripod, Fujifilm S8100fd consumer will have to resort to high ISOs pro extremely low-light photography. This is fairly ameliorated through the camera's broad ISO range, which runs from a standout 64 - 1600. So ISO-3200 and 6400 are as well accessible but merely at a reduced five megapixels, and as by the pressed ISOs we've looked on other Fujifilm cameras, they consequence in web cam - esque smears.
