Having afresh taken its continued zoom cameras into anytime added DSLR-like territory, Fuji's S8000fd is something of a departure. The S8000fd places a abate sensor abaft a abundant longer-range zoom lens in a beneath SLR-like body. Going arch to arch with the Panasonic FZ18 and Olympus SP560UZ the S8000fd is Fuji's a lot of aggressive zoom bunched to date.

The S8000fd packs an abominable lot into its bunched body, and seems to be aggravating appealing harder to be all things to all people, with chiral acknowledgment controls sitting alongside point-and-shoot accessibility appearance such as face detection. There is a accelerated cutting access (at bargain resolution), and some acutely top acuteness modes (again at lower resolution), for cutting in low light. What compromises this all-embracing access brings, we shall see.
