Camera Overview — Fujifilm S5800

The Fujifilm FinePix S5800 is a point-and-shoot camera built around an 8MP sensor housed in a 1/2.5-inch format. It offers a maximum photo resolution of 3264x2448 pixels, giving shooters a solid output size for everyday imaging tasks. The camera covers an ISO range from 64 to 1600, providing flexibility across a range of lighting conditions.

For stabilization, the S5800 relies on Digital/Electronic IS, which helps reduce the appearance of camera shake in still images. Autofocus is handled via a contrast detection system with 9 focus points, giving the camera a reasonable spread of coverage across the frame. The 2.5-inch fixed LCD display renders at 230,000 dots, which was a standard resolution for the era, and is complemented by an electronic viewfinder for shooters who prefer eye-level composition.

Video capability tops out at 480p resolution, with frame rate options of 30fps and 15fps recorded in 8-bit color with a Standard color profile. Still shooters can choose from Standard, Chrome, and Black & White color profiles, and burst mode is available at up to 2 frames per second. Storage is handled via SD card or other compatible media, and the camera connects via USB.

Power comes from four AA batteries, rated for approximately 400 shots per charge — a practical advantage in the field given how widely available AA cells are. The plastic body measures 106 x 56 x 81mm and weighs 407g.
