While I was hoping that the camera would have the Super CCD type sensor that Fujifilm used in their Sx Pro Series cameras, which it does not, the solidly built 10MP CCD Fujifilm Finepix S8100fd does feature a Fujinon 18x super-zoom (28-486mm equivalent) lens, 'Dual Image Stabilization,' light sensitivity up to ISO 6400, 13 scene modes, 230,000 pixels 2.5-inch LCD screen with anti-glare coating. The camera is also fitted with a dioptre correctable electronic viewfinder, and super macro mode for shots as close as 1cm. Introduced by Fujifilm in 2009, the S8100fd is a minor update of the S8000fd with Face Detection and Intelligent Flash mode support.
The Dual Image Stabilization feature combines CCD-shift image stabilization and high ISO sensitivity to keep the shutter speed high for sharper images. A three-way save for the camera's images to either the camera's 58MB of internal memory or to an xD-Picture Card or SD/SDHC card is also possible. Both cards are slotted on the right-hand side of the Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd's body with the XD slot cleverly tucked away to be almost hidden. Buttons, including exposure compensation, are where you'd expect to find them, with an 'F' that button pulls up a menu for film grade emulations.
The S8100fd automatically activates its red-eye reduction from portraits taken (with flash) in face detection mode, the camera is also intelligent enough to detect subtle variations in lighting and adjusts the camera for correct exposures. Another useful feature is the camera's capability of shooting at a maximum speed of 13.5 fps up to 33 frames with the resolution dropped to three megapixels. A better alternative is probably the 6.8fps shoot at five megapixels. The camera is powered by a set of 4x easily available AA batteries with a rating of 350 shots for Alkaline and 500 shots for Ni-MH 500.
