Next up is the S8000fd, packing a whopping 18x optical zoom lens to compete with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18. Round the back is a fairly standard 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD monitor. The S8000fd runs off the consumer's friend, AA batteries, and uses xD, SD, and SDHC memory. We're glad to see Fuji is continuing its recent decision to offer the choice of using SD rather than lumping us with the less-common, and much pricier XD.
Crave exists in state of perpetual hungover shakiness, so we're glad to see Fuji’s dual image-stabilisation system is included. That combines ISO-altering jiggery-pokery (lame) with mechanical sensor shifting (not lame). The S8000fd will retail for $399.95 (£200) in the US.
