Are the days of the microscope numbered? Well, the way things are going, I wouldn’t be surprised if the microscope gets pushed to oblivion. Imagine a camera that offers a mind-boggling 18x zoom feature. For all you know, your imagination might get embodied. Actually, it just has. The Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd camera, with its 18x optical zoom, would not just give the microscopes a run for their money but even ‘roll cameras’ would seriously consider retiring gracefully.
The large 18x inscription on the side of the camera and its super-large name just emphasize the enormity of its character. And we are not talking just about the lens and the name here. The camera is styled like a digital SLR and is loaded with features that can put the best of cameras to shame. Photography buffs need not worry about limitations of fixed lens anymore with the optical zoom, easily the stand-out feature in this camera. Moreover, optical zoom is important if you seek fine resolution. Yes, digital zoom and optical zoom are different. Digital zoom can enlarge an image but destroys its resolution. Another advantage of this camera is its fixed lenses. These lenses in digital cameras are airtight, thereby saving you ‘wiping time.’
The FinePix S8000fd is an 8-megapixel delight that allows you to shoot images with unmatched resolution. Automatic face adjustment and face recognition are two other prominent features of this camera. No more red-eyed snaps, then.
When you have all these features, it would be natural to assume that the camera would be quite pricey. As a matter of fact, it isn’t. For all its features, it costs just $400. Well, we can surely expect a stampede at Fujifilm’s stores to possess this super-camera.
