Since the optical zoom is one of the most important factors to be considered when purchasing a digital camera, you may want to consider a Fuji digital camera incorporated with a 18x optical zoom lens – the Finepix S8000fd. This camera offers an 8 megapixel resolution, allowing you to produce crisp and detailed large prints.
The Finepix S8000fd is one of the most affordable super zoom cameras on the market right now. This Fuji digital camera is definitely impressive. A 2.7 inch LCD screen allows you to preview the pictures you’ve just taken. This decent LCD display works very well in most conditions as it has a high resolution (230,000 pixels).
This Fuji digital camera accepts two different types of memory media, xD memory cards and the SD/SDHC memory cards. This is an improvement over previous Fuji digital cameras since SD cards are cheaper and faster than xD cards.
To prevent a blurry image due to camera-shake, Fujifilm has incorporated a sensor-shift image stabilization system in this Fuji digital camera, which isn’t quite up to par with an optical image stabilization system, but works well in this camera however. It actually helps make the 18x optical zoom usable.
All you have to do is just press the image stabilization button on top of this Fuji digital camera. Then, press the shutter half way until the camera steadies the shot. You then push the shutter button all the way down the time you see the shot looks good.
Other feature you can find on this Fuji digital camera is video mode. Finepix S8000fd can capture videos in 640 x 480 pixel (VGA quality), 30 fps clips. If you have a 1GB memory card capacity, you can record about 15 minutes of video footage at VGA quality setting. The video quality is excellent.
So, when you consider an affordable with high optical zoom digital camera, you could pay more attention with this Fuji digital camera.
