Summary: Love it!
Comment: I did a lot of research online before buying this camera. So far, I just love it! I have to take a lot of pictures in low light without a flash and this camera is really coming through for me in those conditions. I highly recommend it!

Summary: A really GOOD camera!!
Comment: I am not a photographer, and I have no wish to set this and that and that and that in order to take a picture, nor do I want to trust an auto that produces pics that nobody wants to look at. THIS CAMERA SOLVED THOSE PROBLEMS. I use auto and sometimes the anti-shake and sometimes the fast shot for moving objects, that's it. On 18x full optical, the shots are better than anything I've ever gotten on a digital (and I've had three or four of slightly lower price).
If you're like me, and simply want a camera that will take the shots you expect without undue preparation and messing around, this is the camera for you.

Summary: Fuji Comes Through Again!
Comment: We have had a Fuji S5000 for about 4 years, shot over 18,000 pictures with the camera. We shoot pictures of our daughters softball, 5 sequential shots at a time. It really adds up on the picture count, of course we don't save all of those pictures. You always get at least one good one out of five. Wanted to replace the old S5000, internal battery backup had died. When you replace the batteries, had to reset the time, date, etc.
Did a lot of research for a replacement and settled on the Fuji S8100fd. The two biggest reasons was: 1) Option for 7 Frames per Second or 16 Frames Per Second. 2) 18x Zoom.
We have been very, very, very pleased with the picture quality and the very high frame rate. It was a great purchase!
Cons: Cannot screw a filter on the end of the lens, that option has saved the lens on the S5000. We do not like the lens sticking out, ie not protected like the S5000. Will have to be a lot more careful with the S8100fd.
Would buy it again! Great Fuji product!

Summary: Fuji 8100 camera
Comment: I find the camera a disappointment. The macro option is totally unsatisfactory. Who wants to tote 2 cameras? The Fuji 8100 for everything but close-ups, and another with a functional macro. I'm really dis-satisfied.........JR Shelton

Summary: You get your money's worth
Comment: I've used Fuji products for many years. I've had an S7000 for several years and love it but wanted the added zoom and megs. The S8100fd is lighter, well laid out, and does all that I want in a camera. I was a professional photographer about thirty years ago but left that career to work for Fuji for about six years. I started using Fuji products at that time (employee discount!) and haven't stopped. I was hooked on both their film and cameras. Fuji continues to make great inovative products. The biggest negative on the S8100fd is the sharpness on the rear screen when reviewing pictures. You really can't get a confident feel for the quality of what you just shot until you review it on the computer. My S7000's screen is much better. I also can't get used to the speed control for the zoom. It is too quick for precise adjustments. Other than that, it is the most camera for the money right now and I love the wide angle to tele opticals. The pictures have been sharp and well balanced for color and contrast.
