Brilliant camera July 26, 2008

Originally, I had hoped to buy a digital SLR. I went to Jessops to some research and the assistant told me 300 for the lens I wanted, and 500 for the camera body! Way too rich. Then he showed me the S8100. This is such a versatile camera. It does almost anything an SLR can within the limitations of its lens. I wanted a camera that allowed me close ups. It does macro to 1cm. I have taken some amazing shots of a dragonfly, bees, hoverflies, flowers etc. I have taken shots at full zoom (18x) without a tripod and the results have been excellent.
I also wanted a camera that could take rapid pictures. My previous camera was so slow, that by the time it took the picture, the action was gone. Depending on your image quality setting this will rapidly rattle through a series of frames.
An added bonus is video with sound!
The expanded manual comes on CD. There are many features that allow the operator to control shutter speed, the ISO settings and other stuff I haven't even started considering yet.
It certainly does everything I want. It does need an expanded memory card. I use a 2GB and that gives over 800 shots at 10MP.
The Finepix viewer (ver.5.4) has expanded features over my previous version. It downloads quickly and gives more options for viewing folders.
If you are in the market for a state of the art compact camera, look no further.

After many weeks of deliberation I decided to purchase the Fuji Finepix s8100fd. I ordered it from Amazon on Thursday afternoon (about 3.30pm) and it arrived in the Channel Islands the following day at 11.30am - what superb service! Thank you! I went out on Saturday to see what the camera could do - it was a very bright, blustery day. The pics I took were great, even with the zoom. I used the image stabiliser for most of the pics - and there wasn't one blurred image. I took a picture of Castle Cornet through a shop window - the detail, colour, etc are so very clear. (I haven't yet printed onto proper photo paper, but I am sure I won't be disappointed). Yesterday, Sunday, it was very dull and stormy - and I captured some very good images of the sea crashing over the rocks, etc. I used the full zoom (digital+optical) to photograph the rock + flag (forgotten name), which is way off the coast - and you can see the Guernsey flag very clearly. I then went onto a flower festival and even managed to capture a bee pollinating the flowers! For a very amatuer photographer, who wanted a little more than a small compact camera could do, I am well impressed with this camera. I have now purchased a Lowepro bag for the camera (Edit 110), for carrying around + an SD card.
I read many glowing reviews on other cameras but chose this camera, over the Panasonic DMC-FZ18, because it seemed more robust and was more comfortable to hold. I felt the Panasonic had a 'plastic' feel about it - it didn't feel very strong at all. I have not been able to find any reviews on the Fuji camera, despite many weeks of trawling the Internet. Hopefully this will be useful to other people. I haven't yet begun to look at what else it can do - when I do I will get back to you all.
