Product Description

The DMC-FZ8 features the 12x Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens that packs the same zoom power as a big, clunky 400 mm-class film camera lens. This 12x optical zoom lens is super-bright at f/2.8 to f/3.3 with a focal length of 6 to 72 mm. Rotate the lever a small amount for slow zooming, and a larger amount for high-speed zooming. This makes it easy to zoom in and out quickly when you need to or to slow down for finer zooming control. Zoom Resume stores your zoom position (magnification) in memory, so you can shoot with the same zoom setting once the power is turned on again. This helps make sure you don't miss those great shooting opportunities. The CCDs used in most digital cameras have much smaller light-receiving areas than film does, so photos tend to have a high depth of field. You can snap photos that capture the subject in a clear, sharp focus while giving the background a beautiful soft focus. 0.44-inch Viewfinder Color EVF (188 K Pixels), 100% Field of View Image Sensor - 1/2.5-inch AF Assist Lamp ISO Sensitivity - Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1250 (High Sensitivity Mode - 3200)Dial - P (Program), A (Aperture Priority), S (Shutter Priority), M (Manual) Mode, Simple and SCN Scene Mode - Portrait, Soft Skin, Scenery, Sports, Panning, Night Portrait, Night Scenery, Food, Party, Candle, Baby1, Baby2, Pet, Sunset, High Sensitivity, Starry Sky, Fireworks, Beach, Snow and Aerial Photo Shutter Speed Program AE - 1 - 1/2,000 seconds Aperture Priority AE / Shutter Priority AE - 8 - 1/2,000 seconds Manual - 60 - 1/2,000 seconds Built-in-Flash - Auto, Auto Red-eye Reduction, Forced On, Forced On Red-eye Reduction, Slow Sync Red-eye Reduction and Forced Off Dimensions - Width 4.43 x Height 2.84 x Depth 3.11 inch (112.5 x 72.2 x 79.0 mm) Weight - 357 grams with Battery and SD Memory Card (0.78 pounds)

I like it!.......2007-06-28

I bought this camera about a month ago and have been using it in my digital photography class. It had all the options I needed to be able to learn all I needed to know about manually adjusting your ISO,f stops, shutter speeds, and all that good stuff. It allows you to become an artist in the process and not just a button pusher, so it's better than a basic point and shoot. Also, it has RAW format which conserves more of the data for later use in Photoshop editing. It takes spectacular pictures in most settings and is a very good looking piece of equipment.

Now, about the issue of VenusIII noise it does make me uncomfortable after 400 ISO but if you have a tripod or are a steady shot you should be able to pull of most shots, and can get by with the flash and a tripod at night or in low light. But, it is very good for a point and shoot. Some others may be better in low light but this one can take very good pictures for most of your shots and the Leica lens is super. Another gripe is that it does not have the field of view that I would have liked, which others have if you shop around. Over all I think it is a solid camera and if I could do it again I would have a hard time replacing it for the price.

And no, in my experience with other peoples' cameras, it does not compare to a DSLR as many have said these advanced point and shoots can. If you are a really serious amateur and can afford an SLR get one. If you are unsure about your seriousness or want a comparable camera, in most situations, get this one. But, if the shot is in a difficult environment with low light you want an SLR.

If I could do it all over again I'd save the money for an SLR. If you need one immediately for a class or just to learn there are cheaper cameras to learn on by Canon that have all the quality and features that you need to learn. If you are not serious and want to take pictures at BBQ's buy a simple point and shoot. If you just want one all around camera that you want to use for a while and take high quality photos, but not seriously, get this one it is pretty good for the price and will be hard to beat.

Undersaturated - ended up with Fuji S6000fd instead.......2007-06-24

I purchased both the Fuji S6000fd and Panasonic FZ8 to compare them head to head. I was left very underwhelmed by the Panasonic's undersaturated pictures; they lacked any punch to them. I shot using "P" mode and IS mode 2. I must admit though -- the optical image stabilizer on this camera is absolutely amazing. It is FAR superior than the competition, especially when shooting at full telephoto.

Other than my being unhappy with the pictures, it was a very nice camera.

Pros:
- Long battery life w/ included rechargable li-ion battery
- Long 12x zoom
- Extremely effective image stabilizer
- Lightweight

I was able to tweak pictures in Photoshop by boosting saturation but I have no desire to do that for each and every picture. My S6000fd turns out great pictures as is, or more saturated pictures in F-chrome mode when I need it. I'm much happier with the Fuji since I don't do much full telephoto work.

LOVE IT!!!!.......2007-06-21

We bought this camera to take to Africa on our vacation. We LOVED this camera. It did a great job and really took great photos. We went to see the Gorillas and they took WONDERFUL pictures. Nice and clear and the zoom was excellent. Wish I would have bought this camera years ago. I like this one better than our Nikon. Awesome, awesome camera

great camera, very pleased.......2007-06-17

I'm very pleased with this camera :)

video quailty is good
macro setting is great
auto focus is great
all the settings and options work well
easy to understand and use menu
quick start up
image quality is generally superb

cons
not so great photos at ISO 200+
the flash is set to forced off (all you have to do is pop it up and change it to forced on, no biggie)
action shots? still figuring out how to take them well with this camera

I've had it for about a week and so far Im loving it more and more
I havent had any problems and it's a great upgrade from my standard 4mp kodak

Low light champion.......2007-06-27

There are many reviews of this camera stating how good its low light capabilities are...well, they are all true. The camera does an excellent job shooting in regular lighting conditions. Initially, I was a little disappointed about the absolute image quality in the Auto mode but then I started analyzing the pics and saw the camera like to default to widest aperture (2.8) and higher ISO settings (400-800) in this mode. While the images are pretty good for the average person if you are accustomed to the images from a pro camera like the Canon 20D, then you will be a bit disappointed. Then I started playing around with the settings and boy or boy...here is the where the camera really shines:

Switch it to Aperture Priority mode.
Set the aperture to F5.
Set the ISO to 100.
Turn on flash to red-eye.
Set the JPG compression to Fine (6M F).
Turn on high speed shooting for faster focusing.
Change the color setting to F-chrome. (This boost saturation and contrast)

Now go take some pics :) At these settings this camera is capable of giving a consumer SLR a run for its money. Its that good! The color is a bit over saturated but its better than the normal settings which is a bit under saturated for my taste and probably the average person too.

The best feature of this camera though that is never really mentioned in the reviews is how good the metering is. I would say its even better than my 20D. In complex lighting situations the camera does an excellent job of metering the scene for the best possible exposure. In auto mode this was immediately evident to me.

The images also have a certain quality to them that could only be described as the Fuji look. In my opinion this camera metering and color rendition is superior to the Canons. I also own a Canon SD700 IS and while also a very good camera, the Fuji is better in also every respect except size. It is a little bigger, just a little, than the Canon and the Canon has a longer zoom (4X vs 3X). The Canon also allows you to adjust the image look with a lot more settings and the lens also has an optical image stabilizer.

The movie mode came as another surprise: very good! Again, the camera was awesome in low light. The movie quality would be comparable to a DV camcorder of a generation or two ago. Where it and all of these camera break down is when you are recording motion. Either a fast moving object or when you are panning quickly. The high compression causes either video artifacts or smear so remember, don't pan quickly. Again, I would say the movie mode is better than my Canon SD700.

The flash on the camera is also pretty powerful for such a small camera and the battery life is very good. Red-eye is controlled wonderfully and the flash does not burn out the highlights even at close range. Again...a really good job by the Fuji metering system.

All in all, Fuji did a really good job with this camera. I didn't believe it would be capable of producing images that could rival my 20D with an average lens but it can when all of the setting are set to optimum levels. I can't say that about my Canon SD700 or any other point-and-shoot digital I have played with. Now I won't feel so bad about leaving my 20D with its L class lens at home :)

PS Fuji has released the F40 now at 8MP. The problem with the increased pixel count on all of these sensors is that the area size remains the same. So you are crowding more sensors into the same physical space which increases image noise. So while you may get a higher pixel count you also get more noise. And let me tell you, one of the reasons I still have the 20D is because of its stunning noise free images. A completely noise free 4MP image will beat an 8MP noisy image any day. That is what most consumers do not know ;) The "perceived" resolution and sharpness of an image is determined to a great extent by how much noise it has. Don't buy into the higher mega pixel myth. You will never need anything more than 6MP anyway unless you are planning on making a lot of poster size prints :)

6 Stars.......2007-05-29

Can I give this camera six stars? Thanks for the great camera, Fuji. I've got a Nikon D200 (love it, too) for when I need more control and performance, but this little gem fits the bill for when I don't want to carry around my SLR.

Great metering, size, build quality, flash metering, colors, sharpness, etc. Even with all of these qualities, the main reason I bought it was its high ISO quality. This is coming from a pretty picky amateur photographer. If you've got the time, check out dpreview's article on high ISOs.

Yeah, I wish I had access to aperture and shutter speed at the same time, but the lack of this is a small price to pay for a camera that does everything else I need a compact to do.

Cheers

Awesome low light picture quality.......2007-05-15

I had owned a Canon SD series camera and I was so frustrated with the low light capabilities of that camera. The indoor photos would be illuminated in a very non-uniform manner making people look pale and sick...

But this camera takes amazing low light pictures both indoors and outdoors with picture quality at times approaching SLRs. Pretty much all the cameras in the market take good pictures in bright sunshine but this one does it in low light too. Don't follow the mega pixel lure. In high ISO settings , there simply isn't a compact on the market to rival this jewel.

The camera is very responsive and fast. The build quality and handling is very good. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a good compact with more than just "bright day-light" capabilities.

Not as big as they hype, but nice.......2007-05-13

Takes good pictures, wonderful capacity for more manual settings (e.g. speed priority) but face recognition doesn't work most the time.. an important thing to note about face recognition I didn't think of... you need to see the full front of the face, profiles or even mild turns to the left or right render it useless... even when it does recognize, it still seems to expose for an average where light background or shadowed faces don't either expose for the recognized face, nor trigger a flash.

Very good camera for the money .......2007-06-27

So i got this camera as an upgrade from the canon rebel and it's an amazing camera, i didn't realize how fast it could take pictures. i like every thing about this camera the battery life is amazing i charge my battery about every 1000-1500 shots. My flash units have trouble keeping up with the camera when shooting at high speed. Witch is a very nice feature to be able to shoot at 3fps or 5fps. I suggest getting a high speed card to keep up with the camera. Over all this is an amazing camera i would recommend it to any serious photographer

If you can't wait for the 40D.......2007-06-15

For those not familiar with the canon line the 10D came first, then the 20D, then the Rebel (aka 300D)then there were the really high end bodies with astronomical price tags that I won't mention. Later came the revamped rebel the 350D and the Xti and the revamped 20D known as the 30D. Each body has slightly different specs and megapixels, the Xti has the new 10 megapixel sensor but for me anyhow it just doesn't have the features I need. My primary purpose for my cameras is shooting karate tests for my school, I shoot in a gymnasium with mixed lighting (and not much light either, this camera can shoot in the equivalent of ISO 3200 with very acceptable results, especially if used with a product such as noise ninja to correct noise issues) and have had to learn to get around mixed lighting issues but primarily I need the 5 fps offered by the 20D/30D and the more expensive canon bodies that I sure can't afford on my salary. The Rebels and the 20D/30D have a "C" sized sensor which means that any 35mm lens you put on this body has a magnification factor of 1.6 so a 10 mm lens works a lot closer to 20 mm than ten mm etc. The C sized sensor also means that Canon and other lens manufacturers can take some design liberties with the back of the lens (of course this also means these special lenses won't work on a standard body just on a c sensor body). The 20D is a very capable camera for anyone that wants to shoot fast sports or weddings etc. The 30D has a lot of little tweaks that make an already excellent product even more capable. The 20D has been discontinued as far as I know but you can still find them new on ebay etc., given a choice go for the 30D, they've revamped the shutter mechanism, revamped at least one of the focusing modes, the lcd is bigger and brighter, and to me anyhow, it just feels a lot spunkier when I shoot with it (and the 20D was already incredibly spunky). I haven't had a chance to shoot my usual subject with it yet but just from a few snaps her and there it seems to expose a little darker at least outdoors in the shade. I was going to wait for the 40D but I got a chance at a floor model 30D for an unbelievable price and so I grabbed it knowing the new 40D would not be as cheap in the forseeable future. The big difference with the 40D will be the new 10 megapixel sensor. I really enjoy my camera, I think the canon glass is generally overpriced especially for the professional L series lenses. Take a look at the Sigma EX or EX DG line before deciding on canon glass, they're generally just as fast as the canon lenses at focusing and one heckuva lot cheaper.

Recommended lenses: For a walk around lens the canon 28-135 IS is a great lens. For shooting stuff that can be close or medium far look at the 17-85 IS and the sigma 10-20 EX DG (good landscape lens too). The IS system is great because it will correct camera shake to a point and allows you to handhold at shutter speeds not normally possible. The kit lens 17-55 is ok but there are much better choices, avoid it if you can.

Flash units: The canon 580EX is a great flash but also check out the metz af-58 1C for professional class units, the built in flash is not really suited for anything but snaps if you ask me.

Other stuff you want: IS lenses suck batteries like candy. You want the BG-E2 or one of the generic equivalent battery grips (ebay). It makes the camera a lot more stable, easier to hold and repeats some common controls when shooting vertically.

Several extra batteries: I like the Lenmar rapid charger (comes with a 12V car cord too) for these batteries and buy a few extra off ebay (check the seller rep and be sure they are 7.4 volt packs not 7.2 volt packs--full price these batteries are ridiculous but you can get them reasonable on ebay from third party manufacturers)

Several large fast compact flash cards: Full sized images take a lot of space, this camera has large buffers so you almost never have an issue but buy the 80-150X high speed cards, you'll be glad you did (warranty generally better on them also). I've used Lexar and ridata and sandisk extreme with no issues in this camera, buy a few medium sized 2G-4G ones not one huge one (card errors can wipe the whole card but that's rare).

Nice bag: The 20D/30D are somewhat weatherized but it's still not something you want to get wet. Hlliburton makes some very nice metal cases with foam inserts to protect your expensive gear. You might also want a special cover for shooting in inclement weather that lets you control the camera and keeps the water off it.

Digital wallet? If you shoot a lot and are away a long time a digital wallet with a notebook hard drive installed will let you clean off your cards and reuse them while storing your images on the internal hard drive. These can be found on ebay pre assembled or in kits just add your own hard drive and away you go.

Lots of hard drive space or a product like Roxio and a DVD burner: You need to store your hard won images securely. I have mine on three hard drives for redundancy you could also use a RAID setup or back up to DVD (but the size of DVDs you need a lot of those to backup lots of images) at least until such time as most normal people can afford the new blue ray and media backing up to single layer DVD will take a while. Dual layer DVD holds twice as much but the media is a lot more expensive. When you choose a software make sure it's one that will chain the backup for you automatically, it's a big hassle to figure out what will fit on a DVD manually.

Brilliant camera.......2007-06-05

My only regret is that I have not had this camera for my whole life. There may be a reason why a professional might need a 5D or what not, but for the rest of us, this camera does it all with ease, elegance and style. With a good lens, is it awesome. I snapped a small baby allegator I could hardly see from 50 feet away, and when I blew the image up on the computer you could see every detail, including his pupil and the glint in his eye. This camera is a lot of fun.

Not to much, not too little... juuust right!.......2007-05-07

This camera is perfect for my needs. Any more than 8 megapixels makes for file size that chew up my computer's hard drive capacity too quickly. The options and controls give me all the flexibility I could desire in taking pictures. The 5 frames per second exposure rate is great for Little League picture taking, capturing all the action needed. The 1.6 focal length multiplier is also great for my needs, making all of my lenses effectively 60% longer (I don't need wide angle shots often, and am content with panoramas when needed). The low noise, high ISO capabilities have been fantastic to date, and the high shutter speed capability has allowed me to take some great low depth of field exposures on bright days with an f2.8 lens. Highly recommended.

Excellent camera, humbling experience.......2007-03-23

I have been a photo hobbiest for several years. I decided to get serious and began selling some of my work. I got such great review and have sold several prints. This prompted me to take an online photo class and buy the Canon 30D. The camera has every mode that a point and shoot camera has but, if you are serious about photography this camera provides you more options that you could ever ask for. I quickly relized that I could not cheat with the camera. I really had to know what I was doing if I was going to us the manual mode. Every day I learn something more and am so excited. I have to say that I did not even read the manual. The camera is very well laid out and if you are at all experienced with the Canon point and shoot cameras all of the controls will be familiar. I considered the new sony alpha, the new nikon, canon rebel and the olympus. Out of all the camera options the 30d just melted into my hand. THIS CAMERA IS COMFORTABLE! The grip and size of the camera is designed for long hours of use. It is a little on the heavy side compared to a lot of other cameras, but I totally forgot about the weight after one day of shooting. The 30D lives up to the Canon name and of all the camera options under $2500.00 this is the best.

Great Little Camera.......2007-06-27

I love this camera in every way except the power button, which is very tiny even for 5'3" me. Also, you cannot always tell in bright lighting if the picture has taken, although it usually has.
What I love is its size and the quality of the pictures - inside and outside.
Downloading from it is a simple process.
Buy it.

Good but not great........2007-06-12

I got this camera a little over a year ago and was instantly amazed by how easy it was to learn. It doesn't do anything fancy, but I didn't need anything more than a good "point and click" camera to carry around. The delay between clicking and the camera actually taking the picture was a bit off, which makes action shots difficult, but still life photos and portrait type photos are great! The only major downside is how quickly it goes through batteries. Yikes! Rechargables are a good solution, but you better NEVER forget to take an extra pair of fully charged if you're going out for an evening of picture snapping. If you're going on vacation, take a lot.

I'd give this camera a higher rating if not for the way it died on me. The day after I took some pictures, the camera developed a Focus Error and the zoom lense wouldn't retract, even after replacing the batteries. I emailed Fuji about it and they suggested some things that didn't work, or I could send it in for repair that would probably ultimately cost more than the camera itself did. Why bother?

My advice -- shell out a little extra for something better. You'll be glad you did in the long run. If you just want something cheap, this camera is decent, but remember what they say about getting what you pay for...

Wow, lots of camera a little price.......2007-06-12

I bought this camera for my daughter. It was inexpensive and seemed to have good reviews. The surprise was how good the pictures are. I think they are better than my Canon S3's.

It does not give the impression of being a real robust camera, but so far it has worked excellent. It does eat the batterys. I recommend getting some high capacity 2700 mha nimh rechargeable batterys

Fuji Finepix A500.......2007-06-03

A wonderful camera to use. Ease of use and compact makes it a great camera to take along where ever you go. I certainly couldn't complain of the price either.

Fair value.......2007-05-31

The camera looks and feels cheap. But for less than 100 bucks you may not get anything better than this.

Customer Reviews:

MOST AWESOME CAMERA I HAVE EVER OWNED!.......2007-07-03

This camera is compact, simple to use, and "cute" too! The screen is huge and when you change the camera setting, a prompt appears that tells you what lighting/situation that particular setting is best used for...right there on the screen (then of course it fades away so you can see your subject). The pictures are sharp and the autosettings make it easy to get the lighting right. Downloading them to the computer is a cinch...although they are huge!!! I guess that's what makes them so clear, eh? Everywhere I go I am always complemented (by women of course) and asked what price I paid. They are always shocked at the value. I highly reccommend this camera.

Cybershot W55.......2007-07-03

The camera is great, takes fantastic pictures with or without light.

I went to the licing room and turned off the lights, the image of the picture was great, as if I hadn't turnedd off the lights at all.

Also, It looks great really elegant.

S-W-E-E-T CAMERA !.......2007-07-03

WHAT A SWEET CAMERA THIS DSC-W55 !
I THOUGHT THE P200 WAS AWESOME
BUT FOR 1/2 THE PRICE
I FIND THE W55 MORE'BETTER'!

REALLY ENJOY IT!

Excellent!.......2007-07-03

I love this camera. The colors show up so vibrant! It is so easy to transfer pictures and video from the camera to the computer, or from the card(bought separate) to the computer. It's super light-weight and super easy to use.

Highly recommended!.......2007-07-03

After purchasing two of this camera's predecessors (DSCW50) as gifts, I found myself in the market once again when my scatter brain daughter lost hers on a trip to Italy. However, this time she had to pay part of the cost in the vain hope that she'd be more responsible the second time around. Anywho, these cameras have gotten high marks by all concerned for their ease of use, diminutive size, and excellent pictures. I highly recommended these cameras for the pedestrian shutter bug.

Complete Waste Of Money.......2007-06-12

I cant understand the possitive reviews this is a pathetic camera.It deserves zero stars.If you went out an bought the cheapest plastic one time use camera that you could find ,that would give you better quality pictures then this trash.Dont waste your money! You will regret it just as much as me.An i didnt buy mine online i paid about $60 more then it is here.Last time i ever buy a Kodak! If your in low lite dont bother even trying to take a picture it wont turn out.If your in a semi well lighting no doubt theyll all have red eye in every shot.An if your outside in perfct lighting it will look like you took a picure of a white pieace of paper nothing turns out.You could play with the settings all you want it wont make much of a difference. Good Luck if you decide to purchase this or not.But i wish i hadnt!

Good, I my last Kodak was better.......2007-05-18

I like the simplicity of this camera, and the easy share editing sofware it comes with. You can edit and send off for your digital pics in one easy step. then it allows you to place them in your online gallery to share with a click of the mouse. The camera has all the great features you love, including video, and modes for picutres suc as portrait, landscape, sports, etc. You can easily change flash modes, it is quick and easy to learn the features and use. I was using mine within 10 minutes of receipt! My only complaints: The batteries die kinda quick when you have the viewing screen on, and it sometimes gives me blurred pictures because it focuses on something that was in the foreground, instead of teh subject. this happens when I am taking pictures quickly wothout looking to see the focus brackets. other than that, a good buy!

Easy to use and inexpensive, poor screen.......2007-05-13

This product is very solid and easy to use, It has almost the funcionality of the others products and the price is low. The screen is small and hard to see on a day with sun.

Very poor quality.......2007-04-29

I bought this online, and regret it, since returning it is virtually impossible. There's a screw (or something) rattling around inside the camera, the picture quality seems to be about that of a 1.5MP camera, and the shutter delay is probably around a half second, which is disgraceful (yes, I know all about clicking the button half way first; it doesn't help).

I bought this to replace a broken Kodak 3.1 MP camera, and wish now I'd simply had the earlier one repaired.

It seems that Kodak have gone the way of most other manufacturers - squandering their good name, earned with quality products, on newer shoddy units manufactured in dodgy Chinese knock-off factories.

Sad. I wouldn't buy this for anything.

Great little camera; so-so battery life.......2007-04-04

I bought this as my first digital camera. The picture quality is decent, and there are a lot of settings for the user to tinker around with (though I haven't really had much use for them... yet.)

My only problem with this camera is that it eats batteries like candy. I recommend buying at least 2 pairs of rechargeable batteries, as well as a fast recharger if you're the type that takes a lot of pictures. To alleviate this problem, you have the option of turning off the viewing screen, which does help conserve battery life.

Sony Cybershot DSCW100.......2007-06-26

It takes such a clear, sharp picture. Easy to use and great lighting! I love it!

Excellent Camera, but a bit bulky........2007-06-26

I have had this camera for 2 months now and I love it.
There are a few downfalls.
1. If you have never seen this camera in person, its a bit bigger then most of the smaller camera's. So if you are looking for something tiny, this is not it.
2. Also, when you make videos you cannot zoom in at all, so don't purchase this to make videos.

This camera is very user friendly, without the manual it took me a few minutes to play with it & figure everything out. (Plus I have owned a SONY before). It takes beautiful pictures in all kind of lights & environments, you just to need set it on appropriate settings. Also you need to purchase a bigger storage card, if you plan on taking lots of pictures.

Supe battery life, design, and features........2007-06-19

Carried it throughout Europe for two months ( in my
back pocket) on trains, planes and boats. Super
battery life, smooth shooting features, (shot a
wedding in Austria, made a little travel money),
Just plane terrific. I have yet to explore all the features,
but I'm sure I won't be disappointed. However, I
bought it in March, the price has doubled since.
I guess I got lucky.
