Fujifilm FinePix S8400W Preview

Fujifilm has announced the FinePix S8400W, its latest all-in-one "bridge camera". The 16-megapixel BSI CMOS image sensor, 3.0-inch LCD display, and 1080/60i HD video recording are nice features, but the real highlight here is the extremely long 44x...

Fujifilm FinePix S8400W Review

The Fujifilm FinePix S8400W was announced in March 2013 and is a bridge camera that has 44x optical zoom and built-in Wi-Fi allowing for easy image sharing to computers, tablets and smartphones. The S8400W is exclusively available from Currys and is...

Lots of optical zoom, Built-in Wi-Fi, Good value for money, Electronic viewfinder, Full manual controls, Advanced filters, 10 fps continuous shooting, Decent value for money, 1cm minimum focusing distance, Decent panoramas, Good battery life

HDR mode doesn't take particularly good pictures, Portraits aren't overly impressive, Terrible image quality at the higher ISO settings, AWB struggles under our studio lighting

Pros ; Features with intelligent function presets ; The focus on x44 is definitely a shining aspect ; Panoramic feature is just fun all around ; Solid build ; The instant record is amazing side bonus ; The batteries AA mean no more 30-60 dollar...

Cons ; one lbs, or 454grams ; They are out of stock
