The Fujifilm FinePix S8400 is a point-and-shoot camera built around a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 4608x3456 pixels. It offers an ISO range spanning 64 to 12800, giving shooters flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions. The camera features optical image stabilization (OIS) to help reduce camera shake during handheld shooting.

On the back, a 3.0-inch LCD display with 460,000 dots of resolution provides a solid framing and review experience, while an electronic viewfinder rated at 201,000 dots gives an alternative eye-level composition option. Video recording tops out at 1080p, with frame rate options including 1080i at 60fps. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity makes it straightforward to transfer images wirelessly, though Bluetooth is not included.

Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. The camera runs on four AA batteries, with an estimated battery life of approximately 300 shots per set — a practical choice for travel when proprietary chargers aren't convenient. Autofocus is handled by a contrast-detection system.
