Title of review Finepix S8000fd
What are the strengths? Zoom is very good.
The image stability works well
I like the night setting
What are the weaknesses? There is a lot of grain/digital artefacts when the ISO is over 100.

The menu can be frustrating to get used to at first..

Normal settings produce rather oversharpened images.

When using rechargable batteries, the "battery low" warning only appears when there are about 10 shots left in the battery...Using Duracells, the warning come son 50+ shots before they run out".
Summary
You get what you pay for! Mine cost £240 including memory spare batteries and charger

If you keep the ISO at 100,
use the "soft" focus option (better to sharpen up if required in PhotoShop),
underexpose by about 1 stop
then it works very well. Quite good enough for A4 prints or for photo club proojected images. However, it would be struggling with A3 prints!

Do you recommend this product? Yes
