  By Anp Slevin,
  I rarely write reviews but having read some of the ones hear I felt I had to. If you buy equipment and its faulty then send it back, if it continues to be faulty then send it back, get a refund and buy something else, dont slag it off straight away. Also dont compare sparkling wine to champagne as this is unfair to those who relay on reviews to make their judgement. If you are that good at photography or that serious why the hell are you buying a camera that costs £ 150.00. For those of you who want an honest review - this is worth every penny. The zoom is very good, the menu like all new toys is fine once you have used it a few time, the functions such as stability work well. One point here, who uses an 18 x zoom to take serious photos without a tripod or stable base - mmmm. Even your best SLRs would quiver at that thought. Grainy pictures means the settings are wrong or the camera is faulty, or they are called mobile phones, 8mp cameras with good lens systems are not grainy and none of the pics I have taken indoors, outdoors and on full zoom have been so.
  In short if you want a camera that, as some have said, is the next step up from a compact then you cant go too far wrong with this one. If you want to take videos buy a video camera, if you want to choose between lens composition, raw and jpeg files and want full picture editing then buy an SLR.

  I bought one of these on semi impulse before a UK holiday and am so pleased I did. I have taken over 600 photos with it and very few disapoint - it coped with just about everything !! I have mainly done point and shoot - why mess with something that works so well ? I was an SLR user till about 5 years ago and this is my 3rd digital camera - all have been fuji so i am pretty conversant with the menu format,and have not actually looked in the booklet at all.
  Overall it is the best camera I have had - I particularly love the steadyness of images at long distance
  I enjoyed taking phots with ths more that I have for years - and that is just as well as the weather we had was awful, which just meant I could test the S8000 in a range of light situations.

  I only got this on saturday as a replacement for my brilliant but ageing Konica Minolta Z2 (4Mp 10X Optical zoom). The camera is fantastic, it feels weighty, solid and balanced, the grip is ideal and everything is within easy reach. On saturday night I took over 350 photos with this and over 500 in total at a Blues festival, in comparison to the Z2 this is a different class, the sheer ability of that huge 18x lens is wonderful, the image stabilisation works like a charm. I found that the photos taken on 'auto' were perfectly acceptable and, after talking to a professional photographer, manual setting were easy to set and produced outstanding results. The photos I took were taken in a dark tent, pointing into the stage lighting and most of them came of far better than expected. I love this camera for is solid easy to use style and that monster of a lens (yes size does matter) if you don't want to pay over the odds for a lower spec SLR buy this, in fact buy this anyway! To those who marked down as they recieved a faulty one, grow up! it happens. And to the persone who complained of excessive noise at full zoom I haven't noticed any but I didn't use the digital zoom on top which will cause a degradation of picture quality. Great camera, my first from Fuji and I think I will be sticking with them.

  With specifications to that price , I was very much tempted and bought useless camera in my life. the picture quality is good but I couldnt escape the blur while taking the picture. I have been clicking 3-4 times to one gud picture.

  I bought this camera as a step up from a normal compact. I'm very pleased with it. It has loads of good features and the zoom is excellent. I toyed with getting the 5800 but it doesn't have image stabilisation which I think is almost essential unless your a pro or using a tripod.
  
  The pictures are very good but probably not excellent. But I don't think you could expect any better at this price. Some reviews have mentioned poor quality grainy pics - mine have been fine. Movie quality is also very impressive. Other reviews have suggested the camera is difficult to use. I couldn't disagree more. Given the amount of features available the menu systems couldn't be presented any easier. Also the manual is entirely in English (unlike some other reviewers).
  
  If you're looking for a good quality, low cost camera that does a lot more than a compact then buy this camera. If you're looking for amazing picture quality and consider yourself a pro - don't buy it! (but you'll need to spend a heck of lot more than 140 quid!)
