Photography Blog has a deep review of the Fujifilm Finepix S8000fd 8MP digital camera. The shooter adopts a 18x optical zoom lens, and a CCD-shift image stabilization which reduces blurriness at maximum zoom.

In summary the Fujifilm Finepix S8000fd offers a DSLR-like design with all the advantages of a compact digicam. The new 18x zoom is at last accompanied by a mechanical image stabilisation system, and the electronic viewfinder is much improved.
