How is the S8000 picture quality? I'm about to buy one.... Hi folks.....how is the overall picture quality?

The people who fault the quality of photos taken with the Fujifilm S8000fd are either unable to read the instruction manual or are so "picky" about their pictures as to be neurotic. I have had my Fuji S8000fd for about a month and find the pictures I am taking are just great. I am not a professional photographer, but I have been an advanced-skills hobbyist for decades. This is my forth Fuji digital camera and it is the best of the bunch. I researched my head off prior to buying the S8000fd and concluded that it was the best in its class and price range. There are really only three cameras currently occupying this "hybrid-SLR" group-the Fujifilm S8000fd of course, the Olympus SP-560 UZ and the Panasonic FZ18. By the way, the price on this camera on Amazon.com is almost fifty dollars cheaper than it was when I bought mine only a few weeks ago.

Thanks, Todd. I went for it and found a refurbished one for less than $75 over the cost of a new s1300. I'm sure it will be worth it.

Mine is great. The picture is very good. I mean that because I have a panasonic 65vt50 and after watching that I can still enjoy watching this one. So it most not be that bad if my eyes can stand the change from the best you can buy to this tv. It's currently in my bedroom

Thank you for the advice. I played with the ISO, MP and color settings a little bit today and got some pictures that came out a little better. Sadly, I am comparing the pictures to my 8 year old Canon S50 and the S50 takes better pictures. Indoor flash pictures are particularly disappointing. It is hard for me to accept this. The reason I want to upgrade the S50 is for the smaller size, wider angle, zoom and HD video. I expect the pictures to be at least as good if not better after so many years.The S95 is a great suggestion. I may look into a Panasonic too. Now back to the search for the S50 successor.

Baku: I purchased a D70 s new. I purchased 2 used D 70 s cameras, one through Amazon. 1. I was pleased with the quality/condition of the unit; there was an instruction booklet, charger - the condition was more than I expected. Now let me tell you what a premier repair shop in Cleveland said. "It is everything you need" talking to me. I have a 35-70 2.8, 80 - 200 2.8 and a 85 1.8 among others. Mike's retired principal has a D 60 and he takes great photos. If you can purchase a D 70 s used ( I assume you have Nikon lenses ), it is worth purchasing. I know, I know the latest sounds like it is a great camera & some people like to take streaming video but, I am a bit of a purist. Mike

The s100 does have zebra pattern 70/100 and gain control as well. That said, I think think the s200 strong points (track and focus on anything, not just faces), native 24p!! and better low light picture, are important. Eve as a very happy owner of the s100, I am still thinking of upgrading. There is one big thing I am waiting to read about -- has canon addressed the vertical resolution issue (most evident in diagonal lines) that is caused by the down sampling from a 8MP chip to 1920x1080?

I have had several G series (G7 and G9) and am now working with the s90. Although these are earlier models of the ones you are looking at, the general pros/cons remain the same. The positive for the S90 is that it is great for low light (F 2.0 and in-between ISOs of 125 and 160).The bad news is that the image quality of the s90 is just not the same as the G series. Prints that are crops or over 24x30 inches have too much pixellation to be exhibited professionally. However, if you print at 8x10 inches or smaller, the s95 should be fine for you.As for me, I'm planning on returning to the G series with my next camera purchase.

Sorry, this post was really old! But in case you tracked it, how do you like the S200exr? I have the HS10 but am wondering if the latter would have been a better choice for sharper pictures.

Okay M.I got my camera last night. I took a couple of pictures on my in to work this morning. I am going to post them after I make this post. I don't know what people are complaining about when they complain that the pictures are blurry. The pictures I took were extremely sharp. For the sample picture go the listed item. I will post more pictures by Sunday. Feel free to email me if you have any questions (superat06@gmail.com)Sean

I had the sd1400 and the picture quality is pretty good for a point and shoot. don't expect slr quality but i like this camera. i returned my sd1400 because it was at a higher price and just waiting for it to drop which i know it will any day now. i'm going to get the 940 or 1400, whichever i find at a better price.

What did you end up doing? My s95 died last week (no idea why) and I was perfectly happy with it up until that point. There are enough negative reviews on the newer canons to give me pause but anything has to beat a completely dead camera.

Thanks for your response. So... Is there any difference in picture quality?

I have had both the s95 and s100 and they are wonderful cameras..What I love about the Canon 120 : touch screen..great for spot focusing with stills and movies Faster Af Slow motion video option Shoots 10 fps Very sold feel....great pocket camera HDR that really works very well Terrific low light So my answer to you is I think you would be very very happy with the S120//Hope that helps Dave

Barry/Richard,I'm still having a heck of a time trying to get a decent snapshot of my dog indoors with typical family room lighting ( not dark but not bright either ) with the S8000. If he so much as wiggles his tail, all is a blur. With higher ISOs I don't expect much sharpness. Faster shutter leads to very dark pics. What am I missing? Do I have to use flash - a tripod is out since he won't sit still that long.Thanks guys,Tony

where did you buy it for such a low price? whats hhgregg? my curiosity gets me when i see on the samsung website the MSRP for the 860 still at over 3k and the new c8000 at 2899. you would think the c8000 would be higher... unless they think the 860 is a better TV.
