 Fujifilm UK have announced the launch of the long zoom, SLR-styled FinePix S8100fd digital camera, which combines user-friendliness with long-zoom versatility and high speed shooting modes that are rarely found in non-professional models.
The 10 Megapixel FinePix S8100fd integrates a Fujinon 18x wide angle optical zoom fixed lens (27mm-486mm equivalent), and new Zoom Bracketing and Instant Zoom modes give the user more flexibility than ever before.

The Finepix s8100fd has Fujifilm's award-winning Face Detection Technology as well as Fujifilm's Dual Image Stabilisation combining mechanical sensor shift stabilisation with Fujifilm's Picture Stabilisation Technology.
