Description — Fujifilm S8300
The Fujifilm FinePix S8300 is a fixed-lens point-and-shoot camera built around a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor. It covers a wide ISO range from 64 to 12800, making it adaptable across a variety of lighting conditions. The camera incorporates Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to reduce the effects of camera shake during handheld shooting.
For framing your shots, you get a choice between the 3.0-inch TFT LCD rear screen with 460,000 dots of resolution and an electronic viewfinder rated at 200,000 dots — a useful pairing when shooting outdoors in bright conditions. Autofocus uses a contrast-detection system, and the camera supports burst mode for action sequences. Video is captured at up to 30fps.
Storage relies on SD and SDHC cards, and the camera connects via USB for file transfer. The body measures 123 x 87 x 116 mm and weighs 670g, giving it a sizeable, SLR-inspired form factor. Note that there is no weather sealing, and no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is included.
